What does the devilfish look like in Island of the Blue Dolphins?

The devilfish is clearly a squid because squid don't stay close to the bottom of the ocean or sea like octopi. In the book it says "Arms are as long as a man and could easily wrap around you." Squids wrap around ships and their prey. Squids are quicker than octopi and in the book it said "very quickly the devilfish left the black cloud of liquid." Squid have more tentacles than octopi and their eyes bulge out like it says in the book. Last, the head of an squid is smaller than and octopus head. In the book it stated "It had a small head." So the devilfish in the Island of The Blue Dolphin is a SQUID!
