      Is the fight between a normal squid and snail? Or is it a ninja alien snail? I’m afraid I don’t know much about squids or snails! I suspect it would depend on a number of variables such as size, age, dexterity of each and of course whether the fight is happening on land or water.

      I don’t know for sure, they’re actually similar kinds of creatures, and since squid live in the sea we should assume its sea-snails they’re fighting, and if this is the case the snails would definitely win. Have you ever seen cone snails? They shoot poisoned darts that paralyse fish within seconds and they can even kill people because they have so many different kinds of poisons. On the other hand, if its a giant squid we’re talking about…

      You might set your ninja alien snails on me, but my samurai demon squid would crush them to a pulp.

      Also squid have a beak, which is basically an amazing thing of destruction: http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2008/03/27/a-squids-beak-is-a-marvel-of-biological-engineering/

      Snails have love darts, which are basically like stabbing someone with a jaffa cake.

      Squid wins 3-0.
