A lot of people are clamouring for more ocean content, But I think that we should improve the present squid first before trying to add more. They drop ink sacs which aren’t really very useful apart from writing books and dyeing wool, so I think that they should drop something unique: a Tentacle!
0 – 1 tentacles will drop when a squid is killed. Tentacles can be used for 3 things: slapping people, reeling people and making suction cups. Suction cups can be obtained by putting a tentacle in the crafting grid. This will yield 4 suction cups. Suction cups can be placed on blocks, and they do not take up a space. If another block is placed sandwiching the cup, they will be “stuck” together. Attached sand and gravel will not fall, and pistons will be able to pull large lines of blocks at once. Suction cups can also be brewed into an awkward potion to create a sticky potion, which allows you to climb walls but slows you down. Climbing will REALLY kill your hunger, at a whole drumstick per 15 seconds.
You can also create tentacle whips, which, like a fishing rod, would be able to extend very far. However, it can only stretch ten blocks, and only deals 1 heart of damage. The attack will knock enemies back a tiny bit. BUT if you manage to deal a critical hit, the tentacle will grip the enemy and flick it into the air like a fishing rod! Now, I actually think that this tentacle whip part might be better as a mod, as it seems quite out of place, but it makes more sense to just plop this in the suggestions forum.
Slapping tentacles is dumb. A whip is redundant: We have ranged weaponry.
The suction cup...The concept is good...But a suction cup to do it...Eh. I'd prefer slimeballs.

It is an interesting but depressing reality that most politicians are just regular people with power. And most people would be as bad as politicians if only they could get some power.
Yer i would agree most of this is not needed other then maybe the suction cups, but i would agree with Syntheosis maybe a diffrent item for them like as he said slime balls.

The suction cups sound like a very good idea as an alternative to slimeballs for sticky pistions. I think it would be easier to kill squids aboveground rather than wait for slimes to spawn underground.

Do you hate Little Einsteins? I do! the Little Einsteins hate the Furry Fandom, Pokecombat Academy, and all of you.
Yeah I don't know. You should probably go into more detail on the effect of "slapping people". I would take out the ability to use it as a odd fishing rod. Franking it does TOO much.
Glue, slime balls, or suction cups, I'm not sure it's likely in any case. Reason being a block takes up that one space and can not hold a another object. It's kinda against the base code. Though I feel your pain on the sticky pistons issue I really don't see it happening soon.
I had expected you to say that you could attach the cups on your hands and feet and just climb up, but I guess a temporary use item that's hard to get early on is the better call. I'd take down the hunger depletion rate though. The player can jump a meter a second with very little ill effect. For that matter Hunger doesn't quite work how you might think. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hunger

Thanks! As for the whip, it IS a bit redundant... but I just put it in to see what you think.

Wow! That's really good, maybe the tentacle whips can be used for pranking...lol.
As for the rest, it sounds pretty cool, actually, but the tentacle should be cook-able to yield calamari.
