Highlights
- A gigantic squid and other concepts are part of a fanfiction project called Minecraft: Titans from artist BBMRedditAcc, with the squid in particular being far more creepy and memorable than the official Minecraft design.
- The story of the fan’s project revolves around modern-day builders discovering ancient land with huge mobs and ancient builders.
- Teasers for future mobs include an Enderman Titan and Redstone Titans, with many of the ideas in the project inspired by fan theories about Minecraft lore.
MInecraft is full of quirky mobs and terrifying creatures as it is, but one fan is taking things a step further and reimagining some of them as titanic beasts, starting with the squid, which they gave a colossal makeover with their artwork. The art of the Minecraft mob depicts a giant, blocky squid with long, protruding tentacles and an elaborate elongated head resembling that of an octopus.
The “Squid Titan” is part of a series of concepts the artist is working on for a story called Minecraft: Titans, which is a fanfiction work of their own creation that reimagines some of the established concepts from the game. The artist seems to have a full-fledged storyline in the works, with multiple characters and a continuous plot based on their own interpretation of Minecraft‘s lore and history.

Minecraft Player Finds Item That Shouldn’t Exist
A Minecraft player finds a valuable item during their adventures, but they are surprised to realize that their find has a rather unusual detail.
Reddit user BBMRedditAcc, the original artist, shared an image to the r/Minecraft community that depicts the Squid Titan alongside several other concepts and in-game Minecraft assets used as inspiration for their work. The post is allegedly the first of many to come, as the creator of the series announced plans to continue the series with more concept art as they finish them, though currently it is unknown when that may occur.
Player-Made Art Makes Minecraft Squids Much Scarier
It was here that the artist also revealed their Minecraft: Titans fanfiction project as well and provided some detailed information about the story, characters, and lore. While the specific plot details are still vague as of now, the story will reportedly revolve around a group of modern-day Minecraft builders stumbling upon an ancient land once inhabited by massive titans and “Ancient Builders” who worked the land to ruins.
They also teased a series of concepts that they plan to reveal in the future, such as the Enderman Titan, Redstone Titans and various others based on some of Minecraft’s mobs, blocks and items. According to the artist’s comments on the original post, the story is inspired heavily by fan theories about Minecraft that have circulated online for years, which have attempted to explain its history and lore in various ways.
Some fans even suggested the idea be made into an official Minecraft mod, which could be feasible with the right developers, since story-based maps and Minecraft mods have existed for years. In any case, there is still seemingly much more to come from the Minecraft: Titans project, and though it remains to be seen just how far it may go, the concept alone is certainly an ambitious one.
