The nightmare from pirate tales. This behemoth from the Dark Sea disguises itself as a FUNCTIONAL lighthouse, hence it's name.
It has the passive effect of silencing/nullifying everyone's power. Any sorcerers trying to confront it head on are just asking for it.

--DATABANK--
More of an Orthoceras rather than a squid... or is it a squid with an Orthoceras shell? Is this the legendary Kraken that's famous in Pirate stories? The origin of this sea titan is a mystery. Did it came from a different dimension? Perhaps the Dark Sea? Or has it been in the deep sea all this time but never surfaced until now?

It measures at roughly 50m in length, shell and arms. The shell took on the appearance of a lighthouse, somehow even functions like one. It got it's name from it's tendency to floats on the surface and keeping its shell breached, pretending to be a lighthouse. It can completely blend in with the water, rendering it invisible.

Each arms has a row of glowing spines on the back. Each arms has an extreme crush force, capable of crushing boats and ships with ease. They can even burrow through rocks and sediments. It's 2 tentacles has a pincer instead of suckers, perhaps to allows it to grab onto and crush hardened preys.

The entire body is extremely resilient, capable of completely negating attacks from any Leviathans. It's beak is rumored to be the only thing that can break through a Slurker's indestructible shell.

The Mimic Squid has a unique yet almost otherworldly superpower. It can let out a low echoing sound that resembles huge church bells. But it wasn't only for startling. This chime is somehow capable of nullifying all magic and psychic alike, within a massive area, not even Dark Mages are immune to this. The effect lasts for quite awhile, but it does seems to have a cooldown. Adventurers and sailors stupid enough to try to go ham on this monster only has a very small window of attacking with non melee or range weapons.

Assessment: I pray that you didn't scan it and read this on the spot
