The title says it all. I think the Squid needs a new look. Especially with all the cool new fish and the dolphins who have pretty cool textures. The squid is literally just a block with sticks as tentacles. It’s something small but I’d like to see it.

I made a model for a squid once, I couldn't get it to work, but here's a picture of the squid if you want another idea of what it could look like. I doubt they will actually change the squid model, but you can still use optifine to change it, or whenever (I hope) they add the ability to edit entity models in the java edition.
I would love this to be done, having Squids updated to look and act more like the real animal would do wonders for the ocean biome, the MC Squid IMO really looks out of place compared to all the other aquatic mobs, giving a more real squid look would alleviate that. Perhaps the model could be based on the real Humboldt Squid (image below), a deep-sea animal of a similar size to that of the squid that currently exists in Minecraft
I would especially love it if the squid no longer spawned in freshwater environments. Making it so that ink sacs can only be found in the seas gives us more reason to go there, and IMO there's never enough reasons to explore the oceans.
Perhaps the existing squid model (with a new texture) could still be used for an octopus mob though, it's already about the size of some larger octopus species, like the seven-arm octopus, and the giant pacific octopus (of course this mob too would be ocean exclusive, maybe squids spawn more commonly in deep water and octopi spawn more often in the shallows?).
