DESCRIPTION

16       Wiggly squid or jellyfish with many tentacles.  A muscular hydrostat is
17       a biological structure used to move its host about, consisting of  mus‐
18       cles with no skeletal support. It performs its hydraulic movement with‐
19       out fluid in a separate compartment, as in a hydrostatic skeleton.

59
60       -friction number
61               Coefficient of friction.  0.0 - 0.1.  Default: 0.02.
62
63       -pulse | -no-pulse
64               Whether the squid should pulse. Default true.
