Appearance
Squidstrictor is an orange animalistic alien, with a large head and a shell on top, which runs down his back. He has two eyes on opposite sides of his head, and a mouth full of what appears to be white teeth or baleens. He has nine tentacles, which he can use like arms or legs.

The Omnitrix is located on his torso that connects the tentacles.

Trivia

- The idea of Omnitrix symbols being positioned sideways would later include those of the Omni-Kix Armors.
- Although some crew members think Squidstrictor is not canon,[DM 1][MW 1] Derrick J. Wyatt believed Squidstrictor is canon[DJW 1] and was unlocked off-screen prior to Omniverse.[DJW 2]
