Appearance[]
Squidstrictor is an orange animalistic alien, with a large head and a shell on top, which runs down his back. He has two eyes on opposite sides of his head, and a mouth full of what appears to be white teeth or baleens. He has nine tentacles, which he can use like arms or legs.

2D promotional art of Squidstrictor
- In the Power of the Omnitrix play, Squidstrictor's Omnitrix symbol is positioned sideways, similar to Jetray in Ben 10 Franklin.
- The idea of Omnitrix symbols being positioned sideways would later include those of the Omni-Kix Armors.
- Although some crew members think Squidstrictor is not canon,[DM 1][MW 1] Derrick J. Wyatt believed Squidstrictor is canon[DJW 1] and was unlocked off-screen prior to Omniverse.[DJW 2]
