Squid harness

I suggest adding a craftable squid harness that allows players to use squids for a powerful slingshot dash underwater. Instead of riding the squid, you hold onto the harness for a quick burst of speed, which is perfect for dodging guardians or exploring ruins. During the dash, the squid releases an ink cloud that blinds nearby hostile mobs, providing a unique tactical way to escape combat. This makes squids more useful and it doesn't replacing the dolphin's role for long-distance travel.

Sounds interesting, however, riding the nautilus also does the same thing you're talking about, except without the ink. Also, who would want to ride a squid?
