Description
Squids are amongst one of the most fascinating creatures not only because of their intelligence, but, they have pigment and structural components that allows them to change colour almost instantaneously. This is just the simple explanation of how they change their optical appearance because colour change involves many interactions of the squid's systems. However, they do not change the colour of their skin just to be magical, there is a purpose behind this colour change.
