Colossal and Giant Squid should be baseline 9-C in Attack Potency, and Durability; Peak Human in Lifting Strength
Despite us lacking full knowledge over both squids and the boat/ship attacking feats being vague, the things that solidify baseline 9-C for the Giant Squid are it's obvious physical superiority to normal human men and Antarctic Toothfish. It's also implied they can grapple and wrestle with other comparable squids so their lifting strength should be Peak Human.
The part about them being 9-C+ via Sperm Whale scarring seemed odd to me since it got implimented from an old CRT. Pressure enables flesh to be more vulnerable to damage when in reality muscle and stuff can be good at tanking physical shock and Newtons if pressure came to withstand blunt force.
- Strength record
- The Giant Squid is stated to be not scaled larger to be proportionally as physically strong as the Humboldt Squid, but nonetheless their feat record is there.
- Scientific/direct
- Accounts
- Background: Back then, the accounts are human-centric and if you have any basic knowledge on the giant/colossal squid, you'd know it's supposed to be a deep sea predator (NOT a surface dweller). That being said the squids in this section are probably ill, injured (as implied in regular accounts when GIant/Colossal Squids are seen in the surface), or displaced by external forces/internal motivations. That being said them being weakened technically strengthens the feat. That being said it's important to take these accounts with a healthy dose of skepticism and differentiate what is within the behavior of the Squids. As to why a giant squid would attack a non-living ship with people...
- Much of the accounts involve people provoking the squid via attacking it
- The squid could think the ship is a curious prey item to eat or item to just observe curiously (and then realize it isn't food when it bites into it)
- or squid could think the ship is a predator.
- Furthermore, it's important to separate what is plausibly within the possiblity for the Giant/Colossal Squid's actions as these are human accounts biased to portraying the squids as a Kraken-like figure.
- Raw Strength:
- A large squid capsized the Pearl [a 150 ton Yacht], albeit torque rather than the squid's weight did most of the work.
- Is stated the said squid's body was as thick as the Pearl and had tenticles as thick as wood
- [translate to english via google translate] A large squid capsized a boat with 11 adults and 12-week-old baby, albeit the physical extent of the boat and the torque-caused capsizing was unknown.
- Physically overpowers and kill humans with ease
- Scarred the USS Stein Frigate's rubber-coated dome
- Three separate occassions a momentarily grabbed onto the metal of the Brunswick before dying to it's propellers; it failed to permanently grip into the metal
- An excerpt from the 1873 account from a 2010 physics professor blogger implies a giant/colossal squid was able to strike the bottom of a two-manned fishermen boat hard enough to shake it; afterwards it necessitated an axe to chop two tenticles off of the boat
- A large squid capsized the Pearl [a 150 ton Yacht], albeit torque rather than the squid's weight did most of the work.

- Scarred Sperm Whale skin
- Fought and cannibalized each other
- Regularly hunts deep-sea fish and other physically weaker squids
- Size
- Weight
- Colossal Squid weigh over 500 kg (1,100 lb)
- Giant Squid weigh either 454 kg (1000 lb) or 275 kg depending on your sources

- By precedent of a bed of nails the Whales casually tank ramming into each other's heads with little damage and yet if they were to do the same thing with a spiked wall it's a different story. 9-C+ implies the squid can cut above it's weight class when it shouldn't. I even tried to calculate the Giant and Colossal Squid's Sucker Attack Potency and I ended up getting a weak AP here (note the calculation isn't evaluated but you get the point.
