Inescapable Meals

Flying Squids drift arm-forward instead of head-forward. Much larger than Jellies, they cannot propel themselves and are instead at the mercy of air currents. While drifting, they filter feed, opening and closing their mouths (concealed between their two tentacles). Flying Squids are so massive that they inevitably catch something floating past.

These animals do not rely on filter feeding for the bulk of their meals. Masters of camouflage, they tuck most of their body inside of their large heads and fluff up, looking like a small cloud. From the troposphere and stratosphere's dividing line, their powerful limbs whip from hiding. The arms grapple large prey and shovel it into a wide secondary mouth filled with spinning spools of serrated fangs.
