ASP-002-1 Giant squid:

Due to abyssal gigantism, the maximum size is 20 m(66 ft.) from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles. ASP-002-1 generally have the same anatomy as a typical squid. Akin to typical squid, instances of ASP-002-1 have a mantle, eight arms, and two longer tentacles. The arms and tentacles account for much of the squid's length. Specimens have masses of hundreds of kilograms. The interior surfaces of the arms and tentacles are lined with hundreds of subspherical suction cups, 2 to 5 cm (0.79 to 1.97 in) in diameter, each mounted on a stalk. The circumference of these suckers is lined with sharp, finely serrated rings of chitin. The perforation of these teeth and the suction of the cups serve to attach the squid to its prey. Each tentacular club is divided into three regions—the carpus ("wrist"), manus ("hand") and dactylus ("finger"). The carpus has a dense cluster of cups, in six or seven irregular, transverse rows. The manus is broader, closer to the end of the club, and has enlarged suckers in two medial rows. The dactylus is the tip. The bases of all the arms and tentacles are arranged in a circle surrounding the beak, as in other cephalopods. ASP-002-1 have small fins at the rear of their mantles used for locomotion. Like other cephalopods, they are propelled by jet, by pulling water into the mantle cavity and pushing it through the siphon, in gentle, rhythmic pulses. They also have the ability to move quickly by expanding the cavity to fill it with water, then contracting muscles to jet water through the siphon. ASP-002-1 respire using two large gills inside the mantle cavity. The circulatory system is closed, which is a distinct characteristic of cephalopods. Akin to other squids, they contain dark ink used to deter predators. Like all cephalopods, ASP-002-1 use organs called statocysts to sense their orientation and motion in water. The age of an ASP-002-1 can be determined by "growth rings" in the statocyst's statolith. ASP-002-1 has a sophisticated nervous system and complex brain. ASP-002-1 and some other large squid species maintain neutral buoyancy in seawater through an ammonium chloride((NH₄)Cl) solution which is found throughout their bodies and is lighter than seawater. There is a single species of the giant squid in the world. ASP-002-1 feed on deep-sea fish and other squid species, they are solitary hunters. Predators of adult ASP-002-1 are sperm whales. Juveniles are preyed on by deep-sea sharks and other fish. They are occasionally cannibalistic. Geographically, Giant squids are widespread, occurring in all of the world's oceans. They are usually found near continental and island slopes from the North Atlantic Ocean, especially Newfoundland, Norway, the northern British Isles, Spain and the oceanic islands of the Azores and Madeira, to the South Atlantic around southern Africa, the North Pacific around Japan, and the southwestern Pacific around New Zealand and Australia. Specimens are rare in tropical and polar latitudes. The Phylogenies of this species are of the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Mollusca, the Class Cephalopoda, the Order Oegopsida, the Family Architeuthidae, the Genus Architeuthis, the Species Architeuthis dux.

ASP-002-2 Colossal squid:

This creature's maximum size is 20 m(66 ft.) long due to abyssal gigantism and weighing up to at least 750 kilograms (1,650 lb.). The colossal squid's limbs are equipped with sharp hooks, some swivelling, others three-pointed. The squid's known range extends thousands of kilometers north of Antarctica to southern South America, southern South Africa, and the southern tip of New Zealand, making it primarily an inhabitant of the entire circum-Antarctic Southern Ocean. It feeds on prey such as Chaetognatha, large fish such as the Patagonian toothfish, and smaller squids in the deep ocean using bioluminescence. Antarctic toothfish make up a significant part of the colossal squid's diet. ASP-002-2 has a very slow metabolic rate, needing only around 30 grams (1.1 oz.) of prey daily for an adult with a mass of 500 kilograms (1,100 lb.). Its energy requirements suggest it is a slow-moving ambush predator, using its large eyes primarily for prey detection rather than engaging in active hunting. Sperm whales and sleeper sharks (Somniosus antarcticus) are the colossal squid’s natural predators. Animals that feed on ASP-002-2 juveniles include beaked whales (such as the southern bottlenose whale), pilot whales, southern elephant seals, Patagonian toothfish, and albatrosses (e.g., the wandering and sooty albatrosses). The Phylogenies of this species are of the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Mollusca, the Class Cephalopoda, the Superorder Decapodiformes, the Order Oegopsida, the Family Cranchiidae, the Subfamily Taoniinae, the Genus Mesonychoteuthis, the Species Mesonychoteuthis Hamiltoni.
