Squail

A deceptive little cephalopod who spends much of its time bobbing along the surface with its shell on full display. It waits for bird-like animals to land on the water to make meal of the unfortunate fowl. Its appearance often attracts little spinnow to it, to act as bait to attract the birds as well as easy snacks when meals aren't quick to present themselves. Spinnow seems largely untroubled by this behavior since the proximity to a squail does create some passive protection from most underwater predators. Unsurprisingly, squail are thought to be fairly intelligent for their ability to lay traps, as well as control their environment, and any kept as a pet, can end up being a handful for the owner.
