Engineered from Psychroteuthis glacialis, they have the ability to produce controlled electrical emissions ranging from simple charging currents to the equivalent of lighting blasts.
They can reach sizes up to ~1.5ft long.
Small but numerous, these self-destructive cosmic squid are engineered from the glass squid Cranchia scabra. Their multi-pointed cartilaginous tubercles are bioengineered to be as hard as steel, creating shrapnel when they explode.

The largest known individual is the size of Earth’s moon, but it is more typical to encounter individuals ~40-45ft long.
