In Shinryaku! Ika Musume (Squid Girl), the protagonist is a strange creature
called Ika Musume who looks almost like a young girl, but has a number of
strange squid-related abilities, such as spitting ink and using her hair as
tentacles. She is also intent on invading humanity.

Are there any similar squid-like humanoids in the series, or is she the only
one of her kind?

question
squid-girl
Is Ika Musume the only humanoid squid creature?


As far as I know, she's the only squid-like humanoid shown in the series.
Though there is a miniatured version of her that appeared on people's dream,
mostly Sanae's ([source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_Girl)). In the
last episode of Squid Girl, she met a girl named [Kozue
Tanabe](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_Girl#Kozue_Tanabe) which is implied
that she also comes from the sea, as she has a hat similar to Squid Girl's and
makes statements that indicate she isn't human. The first syllables of her
name spell out 'tako' (たこ?), meaning octopus.

I don't think she's alone, Kozue implied that at the end of season one. And
besides, There would have to be more so that ika could have been born.

It was implied during the playing house episode that she has parents that are
like her as she said that she was mimicking her father when she said "I want
shrimp!" Also in the manga when she was talking to the school children with
the teacher who is jelous of her about sea creatures, she pretty much said
that her species lives deep in the ocean where there isn't any light from the
sun and they communicate by flashing their bioluminescence. I also like to
think that their species isn't big on specific names, so I think it's funny to
call her dad "Ika oto-san"
