The natural range and habitat of this supreme predator remain uncertain. While bearing signs of aquatic specialization, the bullsquid's powerful limbs and characteristic neurotoxic (and reportedly psychoactive) "venom-squirt" suggest it has adapted to a terrestrial environment. It is possessed not only of a ferocious appetite (necessary to support its immense bulk) but also of an overwhelming libido. In short, the bullsquid will attempt to eat or mate with almost anything that crosses its path, without regard for species or any apparent reproductive necessity, since dissection clearly indicate that every gastropolypus is hermaphroditic. Additionally, it has been speculated that to fauna of its native environment, the bullsquid's phlegm might have aphrodisiac qualities; but in terrestrial mammalian creatures, it is uniformly lethal.
