I contemplated removing my cookie and coming in as a Patagonian Toothfish, but then I thought again and I couldn't be bothered.

All squid are predators. This one ate a LOT of fish to get to this size. Most squid only live one year, but perhaps this one lived longer. They were not fishing for it, it is by-catch.

If you made squid-rings out of this one, they 'would be the size of tractor tyres' and so would need a very large plate.
