==Character description==
==Character description==
Squiddly is a squid with purple skin, eyebrows, a large bulbous head, and six tentacles that act as both his legs and arms. Although his name suggests that he is a squid, he oddly resembles more of an octopus than an actual squid. Squiddly wears a red short-sleeved shirt with a black scarf and a white sailor hat.
in ''Jellystone!'', Squiddly has very light magenta skin, long hot pink hair, dark red lipstick and eyelashes. She also wears a large white hat, a purple dress with a grape purple scarf and long boots. This iteration of Squiddly has a valley girl-type personality, and speaks in a Valleyspeak accent.
