Aetyl squids

Aetyl squids swim through sand like their aquatic cousins do through water. They survive off a primarily-meat diet that are captured either by trap or a surprise emergence from the sand, dragging their prey back underground. The aetyl squid also mixes sand with pungent ink to preserve leftover food for a long time

Aetyl squids are a type of squid that thrives in the scalding deserts of The Dead Basin
