Trivia

• Squiddlers share certain sound effects with Hob 'n' Yaros.
• They don’t have a defeated or hurt animation in the XPEC versions of the game.
• It is possible to knock squiddlers off the high platforms they stand on using any Skylander by opening up the stats screen, causing the Skylander to be taken out of the level, and closing the stats screen, causing the Skylander to be summoned back into the level as if they had just been placed on the portal. This causes a knockback affect on all enemies close to Skylander with the exception of some large enemies, and it even affects the Squiddlers on the high platforms and on the boats.
• The Squiddlers in Dark Water Cove are noticeably larger than the ones in Leviathan Lagoon and Stone Town.
• The explosive pufferfish they shoot are programmed in the game as their own separate enemy. They have one health point and drop XP when defeated. This technically makes Squiddlers a source of infinite XP. The pufferfish also don’t have a defeated animation or a hurt animation.
• They reuse the Blastaneer’s sound effects.
