The Giant Squid is a non-anthropomorphic character in Happy Tree Friends.
Character Bio[]
The Giant Squid is a huge cephalopod (Architeuthis dux). It appears in Doggone It, where it is (possibly) either Cuddles', Toothy's, Handy's, Petunia's, or Sniffles' pet. It had become too much for them to control and attacked them. Cuddles manages to escape, covered in purple bruises from the squid's suction cups, to tell Lumpy of animal control to stop it.
As Lumpy investigates, he discovers the Giant Squid attacking Sniffles, Handy, Petunia, and Toothy. The Giant Squid can be seen killing Petunia by slamming her body against the floor numerous times. Lumpy then manages to knock it out cold with just a simple mousetrap. As Lumpy tugs it behind him, the bodies of Petunia and Sniffles are seen, still being held by the Giant Squid.
Later, Lumpy ties the Giant Squid to his truck, but while Lumpy is occupied with capturing Whistle, the Giant Squid regains consciousness and stands on its tentacles once again. The Giant Squid then kills Lifty and Shifty by squirting ink on their van, which makes them crash onto a tree.
The Giant Squid appeared in the episode You're Kraken Me Up, though its look is completely different from Doggone It. It becomes angered after Russell unknowingly drops an anchor on its head. In retaliation, the Giant Squid rips off the head of Giggles, whom Russell was dating. The Giant Squid then uses this opportunity to kill Russell, by snatching one of his peg legs, and dragging him down a small hole in his boat. Later in the episode, the Giant Squid appears to have "married" Lumpy, a lifeguard who tried to perform mouth-to-mouth on the dead Giggles's head. Then they raise a "baby," which is actually a tentacle with Cub's severed head on it.
