The Marionetta Squid entry on p58 has no attacks and the text describing what happens when an heir eats its sand comes before the description.
Ink Cloud: Creates a 15x15ft zone of Magical Darkness around it.
Is this the mutation? Is this what the squid does? If it's the mutation then is that just always on?
This would make sense if the formatting of the ability matched every other ability. It doesn't. Instead the ability has bold text (like all other mutations) but is phrased like a monster ability (which never has bold text).
I ruled that it would be a once per rest ability when a player got it as a mutation. The players cannot get any sand from the squid's puppet as it is already dead. The ability itself is a double edged sword as no one can see through it. This struck me as a reasonable compromise.
The monster sounds like a cool idea, but its text is definitely wrong.
