That must be Taningia of course... yep. I found a few in the pelagic cetaceans. Big animals, as tall as a man.
A cool animal that can appear relatively close to the shore in Europe, Japan or US. Looking at two big oblique "cat-eyes" glowing in the pitch black deep sea and blinking at you must be a terrifying sight.

A second of “brilliant blue-green light,” as they described it, was followed by the squid wrapping their tentacles around a finger and delivering a tiny-beaked bite.
Poor guy. I hope they let it go after that. Be nice to the weird little squiddy thing.
