History 4: The Legendary Squid

When you think about Mobs, most only come into thought when you're Slaying them. Even some of the hardest to find mobs, enderman, garner little more than a passing glance. However, what if I told you there was a mob older players have been hunting down for TWO years. That's right, there exist a mob that's been evading even the Mob-Spawning glitch that stopped new mobs from spawning and its called; The Legendary Squid. Like a lot of the history in Mercia, it all stems back when the Realm had just 4 players.

The leader behind the Fishing Guild, Roku1227, decided that old-school fishing with only one type of fish was too boring and wouldn't entice people to continue the practice, so he set out to get people intrigued again. After capturing and renaming, The Master Fisherman squid, he set out to Mercia. He found a squid in the middle of the night and renamed it, The Legendary Squid. He offered a reward, in the form of 2 diamonds, to whomever found and contained the mob. The only player to ever find the squid, was Sophial1kab0ss, and that was just a few days after it had been spawned. After this fishing took on a new meaning and the squid was re-released. Only this time, it would never be found again.

After a few months of the squid vanishing into the waters, serious efforts were made to attempt to find it. It was not considered a mob anymore, but an extremely valuable trophy. It was a living legend, like bigfoot. Now you're probably wondering. Couldn't I just rename a random squid and call it The Legendary Squid? Well there have been attempts to recreate this lost entity, however, Roku is the only one who truly knows how the name was spelled. It was given special characters so that the true squids identity remained iron-clad. Before his departure from the server, he gave me the admin a book with the true name, so that if found, they could claim the new reward. The reward that is being offered now is ridiculous. There have been claims that it's been spotted as close as 2000x 200y, and as far as 8000 blocks away. Many believe it suffocated long ago, but for those willing to earn the fame that comes with it, it'll always be a hunt worth giving a shot.
