Notes Shadow squids are human-sized creatures found in deep oceans with ivory white jaws and large blood red eyes that roam for prey and are named for speeding up from the shadowy depths. Attacking with eight arms and two longer tentacles they grip opponents to bite and drain fatigue eventually draining strength and are known as 'Vampire Squids' due to this feeding method and their deep ocean habitat +3 AP RQ6 pg 379 Rather than crushing they latch onto an opponent limiting his movement, and causing a loss of vision and buoyancy. See extensive details at HIGV1 pg 230
