Runesquid
The Runesquid is an aquatic cephalopod native to the Tarstanic Ocean. They appear as larger versions of the common squid, often reaching lengths of over 10ft. The Runesquid is capable of changing the color and texture of its skin, which it uses to disguise itself and hide from predators. Runesquids have developed the ability to use their color-changing skin to form runes in Runescript, allowing it to cast spells as a defense mechanism.
