In the first patch that introduced squids they did not spawn in groups, in fact at that stage no creature did.
But in a patch shortly after the squid patch all creatures gained the ability to spawn in groups of 1-7 or so.

Yea but this pack has 43 squid in it. Freaked me out.
It is indeed a "school" of squid. But that's rather terrifying. So many sharp nashing teeth!
I know! I was over there collecting sand, and it got dark. I hopped in the water and started swimming back to my base and saw the entire ground squirming and it really freaked me out haha.
If there is no other water (or not much) in chunk update distance you will get numbers like this quite often. The game thong happens with animal spawns at night when there is only 1 area in the map with light.

Quite the opposite actually. Tons of sea in the area.
Ok so what happened was I was shooting a quick video of the swarm and drown :sad.gif:
So I quickly ran back to collect my diamond tools and whatnot, and discovered they had all fallen into the swarm, in between the squid and I had a hard time picking up my items. So i had to go back to my base, make a sword and then head back to kill the squid. By the time I got there and killed them all, half my stuff disappeared. /sadface
Crazy!
edit: is simg not working or am i screwing something up? :sad.gif:

I know they're passive but man, so freaky!

I havent killed them.
I guess they'll be around for a while since squid don't despawn that often ive heard.
