Story notes
The bag-like, tentacled organisms called gristlesquid never stop growing in size as they age, although their rate of growth slows. Most adults encountered in the woods today are between 3 and 6 M in height and less than 2 M in width (and thin-skinned). A gristlesquid always tries to ambush targets. If it loses half of its health, it flies into the nearest tree and sprays ink.
