The Squid Tuna is a common breed of fish that has the body of a tuna, but instead of a tailfin it has squid-like tentacles.
Behavior[]
It is a simple fish that lives in calm waters and it will not attack others unless provoked.
Powers and Abilities[]
When threatened, it attacks by spinning into its foe with its body and smacking them with its tentacle tails.
As Food[]
The Squid Tuna's meat is a very popular sushi ingredient due to its unique body type that has the attributes of both a squid and a tuna. The Squid Tuna makes an excellent meal regardless of whether it is boiled or baked.
History[]
Puffer Whale Arc[]
A tasty-looking Squid Tuna was seen by Toriko in the waters of the Cavern Lagoon as he was searching for the Puffer Whale.
Bubble Fruit Arc[]
While Toriko and Komatsu were at the 2nd Biotope, Komatsu saw one of those creatures swimming about and Toriko ordered some Squid Tuna for his meal.
Varieties[]
- Squid Tuna "Rare Species" (イカマグロ 希少種, Ikamaguro kishō-shu): A rare species of Squid Tuna that resembles a Swordfish with an inflated forehead and two antennae beneath its body. It has a capture level of 20 to 26.
- Spear Squid Tuna (ヤリイカマグロ, Yariikamaguro): Compare to normal species, they are more wary, likely to escape than attack and often lurks between corals and seaweeds. Capture level 34-39.

- Great Squid Tuna (ダイオウイカマグロ, Daiouikamaguro): Its whole body has white pale color. Capture level 23-28.

- The Squid Tuna was not shown during the Puffer Whale Arc. However it would eventually be shown much later on during the Bubble Fruit Arc where it was part of the menu at the 2nd Biotope.
