The giant squid (genus: Architeuthis) is a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae, represented by as many as eight species.

The mantle is about 2 m (6.6 ft) long (more for females, less for males), and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles isabout 5 m (16 ft). Claims of specimens measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been scientifically documented.
