Make Glow Squids Smart

Since we already have regular squids, I was thinking that glow squids could behave more like octopi. They could exhibit curiosity by investigating interesting things, like slowly moving towards a stationary player, towards a deep sea light source, or towards an item drop. They could also turn off their glow as a sort of camouflage when they need to get away from danger. Maybe they could pick up items like foxes do, or maybe even befriend players.

    This would be really cool. I don't know about picking up items though. I don't know how they'd do it. 

    I think some of the glow squids would be a bit more skiddish and bolt away from players while others would float slowly towards you curiously. I think that would really add character and intelligence to this mob and definitely make these glow squids seem more valuable and mystical.

    Or maybe their lights could turn off suddenly as the player approaches and then swim off in fear. And then if you're still enough, they'll return and slowly begin to glow again. Similar to how ocelots would've slowly approached you after a while if you appear non-threatening.

    It will be really cool if they can slowly float towards player if the player holding a light source
