[86] The Incirrina have either a pair of rod-shaped stylets or no vestige of an internal shell, [87] and some squid also lack a gladius ...
The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is projected to be the largest invertebrate. [241] Current estimates put its maximum size at 12 to 14 m (39 to 46 ft) long and 750 kg (1,650 lb), [242] based on analysis of smaller specimens. In 2007, authorities in New Zealand announced the capture of the largest known colossal squid specimen.
