the colossal squids tentacles are used to fight off the large sperm whales trying to hunt it. the squid also eats small fish or other squid that dwell down in the abyss. ============================================================ The Colossal Squid primarily feeds through its narrow esophagus. In spite of the specimen that was studied in 2008, the scientific community defers to make generalizations on its specific diet as no intact stomach had been found. Behavior, including on how the specimen was caught in 2007 in Ross Sea, suggests that their diet may have been composed mostly of toothfish and, in some cases, that of other Colossal Squid. (http://www.monsterssightings.com/sea-monster-sightings/colossal-squid.html) I'd think that it's most powerful weapon is the beak, whereas the tenacles are more for grasping its prey.
