Calamari's Lament being used on a Super Dummy. Notice how the baby squid changes behavior based on the player's distance to the Super Dummy.

Calamari's Lament is a post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is dropped by Colossal Squids after Polterghast has been defeated. When used, it summons a baby squid that hovers near the player and fires homing ink projectiles from a large distance at enemies. The ink projectiles do not pierce. If the player gets close to enemies, the baby squid will latch onto them, dealing 125% damage. This attack has 30 local immunity frames.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Calamari's Lament has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
