Glow Squid

Mobs & entity

The Glow Squid is an underground water creature that spawns naturally in a wide range of biomes, including Badlands, Bamboo Jungle, Beach, Birch Forest, and Cherry Grove. In total, it can appear in 55 different biomes.

When killed, a Glow Squid drops a Glow Ink Sac. Players can also obtain a spawn egg for it, which allows them to place the creature directly.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
