Their chief predators are sperm whales.
In order to catch the prey they need to feed themselves, squids use their tentacles, because they have a suction and hook that captures the prey, which usually are small crabs, shrimps and small fishes. While they have a tight grip on the small animal, they use their sharp tongue to extract the contents of the prey's body.
To save themselves. Colossal Squids are one of the prey species that Sperm Whales feed on. It is natural for any prey species to try to protect itself when it is attacked by a predator. So, when a sperm whale attacks a colossal squid it tries to attack the sperm whale to save its life.

Yes, the colossal squid does lay eggs. Like many other cephalopods, female colossal squids produce large clusters of eggs, which they typically attach to the ocean floor or other surfaces. These eggs hatch into juvenile squids, which then grow into adults. The reproductive cycle of the colossal squid remains largely mysterious due to the challenges of studying them in their deep-sea habitat.
Colossal squids, like many cephalopods, possess a well-developed sensory system, but their ability to smell is not fully understood. They have chemical receptors that allow them to detect chemicals in the water, which is essential for locating prey and mates. While they may not "smell" in the traditional sense like terrestrial animals, they can sense their environment through these chemical cues. Overall, their sensory adaptations are crucial for survival in the deep ocean.
