MYTHICAL · THE ARCTIC

Colossal Squid

Colossal Squid is mythical and lives on The Arctic in the official API. It is not a legendary, and it is not the Jungle’s Giant Squid. On 23 October 2026 the max weight was 232,971.34 lb, the average 82,965.71 lb, catches 20, and max value 14,656.46.

Baits with catches: Chopped Bait XLarge, Chopped Bait Heart, Penguin, Human, and Bull Ragdoll. Community notes recommend the MOBY rod. The API does not print that as a hard gate. Weather and clock time are unpublished.

Record versus the orca

Orca, the Arctic legendary, topped out at 50,455 lb with 139 catches. The squid is rarer and heavier. Deep water is the shared advice. The community depth note for the Arctic channel is about 5,000, or 9,000 from the boat, in their units. That is not an official meter.

Questions

Is this the same as Giant Squid?

No. Giant Squid is a Jungle legendary with a much lower max weight.

Do I need heart bait?

Heart appears on the catch list. It is not the only bait with a catch.
