I was thinking about the Glow Squid when I was reminded of a somewhat similar animal in the real world, the cuttlefish.
Cuttlefish can change the color of their skin which they use to hide from predators and to hunt prey by mesmerizing them with a lot of glowing patterns. The prey is then basically passivized so the cuttlefish can catch and eat them easily.
While obviously not for the same use, the Glow Squid could make all nearby hostile mobs that can see it passive while it's in their sight. Other than bosses and mobs who'd be too "intelligent" to fall for it(illagers and piglins).
The range of this would have to be adjusted to be just right but I think it'd make the glow squid into a really cool mob without adding an entire new set of items just for it. It'd also let it survive in the caves with the Axolotls, since the devs said that'd be an issue.
The squids who had found their way into the depths of the caves had to evolve to survive the Axolotls by gaining a mesmerizing glow in order to prevent them from being attacked.
Or something along those lines.
What do you guys think? I'm honestly really in love with it and hope they do something like this.
