On Trello, I noticed that on the "doing" category, that it mentioned "crab squid". So, I thought, what is he going to do? I feel like the crab squid will be in the lost river or blood kelp biomes due to its appearance. The crab squid may actually be sentient due to its large head. Or he could just be an enemy due to one of his animations, which show a "blast" attack. What do you think he will do?

Now to the crabsquid:
It's enourmous brain and eyes should allow big hypno: He could defend himself by blacken the vision of others, so they can't see anymore. Prey wouldn't see him anymore and he could simply fetch small fish after "blackening" their vision. Dangerous predators would flee when they get near him.
The crabsquid would be an eater of small fish and no true predator. Unless he gets made bigger. Then he should dominate the Lost River. Otherwise be the more peaceful variant. Still dangerous to the player, as a blinded player can't see other predators. Or the player is simply good enough for crabsquid prey.
If the crabsquid just attacks it would be less athmospheric and mysterious. And even less dangerous.
Additionally the crabsquids hypno gaze might penetrate all glass structures and work through the seamoth, exosuit and even looking at the crabsquid from bases behind glass. Might be fun to watch the effects work inside a base to give you the creeps while being safe inside.
