Golden Squid

The Golden Squid is a minor character in Jake and the Never Land Pirates. The squid is a massive sea creature that is said to dwell the depths of the Never Sea. His vocal effects are provided by Dee Bradley Baker.

Background
Not much is known about the squid's origins, but it is one of few sea creatures that isn't willing to compile with the wishes of the mermaids. The Golden Squid is a surly beast with a squid-like mantle and a number of long, suckered tentacles at the base of its head. Some of these were as thick around as a galleon's main mast. Other then its immense size and brute strength, the squid is known for its magical ink.

Role in the series
The Golden Squid first appeared in the special episode "Jake's Never Land Rescue". Jake followed the Tinker Bell magical ball of light sent by The Guardian to Mermaid Lagoon, Jake learned from Marina and Stormy that the magical ink from the Golden Squid would restore Cubby's map. In order to reach the squid, Marina and Stormy asked their dolphin companion, Flow to assist Jake in finding the squid through the depths of the Never Sea. Jake soon encountered the massive squid, and he asked the squid to spare some of its magical to restore Cubby's map. But this action merely sent the squid into a rage, causing the squid to chase Jake through the depth of the sea. Luckily for Jake, the squid was no match for Flow's speed and was soon tricked into pursuing the duo into a narrow surface, causing the squid's large dome like-head to get caught between a rock pillar. This allowed Jake to safely get close enough to the squid to tickle it into releasing some of its magical ink. The squid managed to break free from the rocks due to its uncontrollable laughter and swiftly swam away, allowing Jake to press on to save Never Land from disappearing.
