3	A bizarre, cartoony comic by G. L. Gillen involving transforming ninjas, Irish demon hunters, Irish mechanics and helicopter pilots, robots, power vacuums (in more ways than one), monsters from the abyss, genocide, world dominating cartoon characters, and a whole lot more.

5	Oh yeah, and a rogue ninja who becomes part squid.

7	The strip abruptly stopped updating in 2013, and the official [[http://www.squidninja.com/ domain]] has long expired, but some comics can be found both on the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110506024239/http://www.squidninja.com:80/ Internet Archive]] and (for now) in the abandoned [[http://squidninja.comicgenesis.com/ ruins]] of the strip's host Platform/ComicGenesis.
8	----
9	!!''Squid Ninja'' provides examples of:
10	%% * CombatTentacles: Oh yeah.
11	* DesecratingTheDead: Early in the comic, the title character would pose his kills with their fingers up their nostrils, as a calling card of sorts.
12	%% * HeroicBSOD: Hyacinth at least twice, dealing with her "hallucinations".
13	%% * IKnowYouKnowIKnow: See the trope page.
14	%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ikago all the way, although he often strays into {{Jerkass}} territory as well.
15	%% * {{Jerkass}}: Toshi, Lou completely, Ikago occasionally.
16	* NotAMask: Late in the comic, the title character explains he's not actually wearing a balaclava: Members of his clan have unnaturally pitch-black skin, obscuring their features. Likewise, his "skin-tight ninja bodysuit" is his bare skin, which explains how it doesn’t get in the way of his shapeshifting.
17	%% * OhCrap: Is that an ''angel?'' Coming down from ''Heaven?'' Apparentlyx to- wait, what does s/he/it want with Spix?! Oh no...
18	* OrphanedSeries: Sadly appears to be the case; updates ceased in June of 2013 following an announcement by creator Gillen that he and his wife had had a baby.
19	%% * RunningGag:
20	%% ** ->"WHY DO YOU ALL INSIST ON BORING HOLES IN MY CHEST?"
21	%% ** Also the robot's SesquipedalianLoquaciousness and people cutting him off.
22	%% * {{Satan}}: Asmodax works for - or under - him; referenced as the light bringer.
23	%% * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Squamatron, often. More a case of ExactWords not being exact enough.
