Name variations: giant squid, giant octopus

This is for the fantastically humongous sea monsters, not simply giant squid/octopi (colossal squid and giant squid are both roughly 13 meters with tentacles included with giant squid having longer tentacles but smaller body compared to the colossal variety).

Despite the creature being of Scandinavian origin, it is far more often associated with pirates and their fantastic voyages than with vikings or other Northern European people.
