The Calamari is an oversized green alien squid, whom can wield any kind of gun against its foes, despite its lack of hands. Calamari is from another planet and stowed away on board the Space Station (Story) in order to escape his oceanic planet. Outside of Story mode, however, he is often associated with the Chinese restaurant.

Calamari first appears in TimeSplitters 2, serving as a joke character. He appears in the Challenge Chinese Burns, where the Calamari is being used as part of a Chinese dish. Other than that, he only appears in the Scrapyard Bot Set. His gallery mentions that he hid in a cupboard when the TimeSplitters attacked the Space Station, though he does not feature in the Story mode of the game.

Calamari returns in TimeSplitters Future Perfect. Rather than acting as the political refugee he is mentioned as being in the previous game, he serves as a highly-contested delicacy, wanted by the Chinese Chef and Gaston Boucher in order to be cooked. He appears in one Arcade League match located at the Chinese restaurant, and officially appears in the Chinese Bot Set, as well as the Creatures bot set.
Story[]
2401, Space Station[]
Calamari, a member of an unknown squid-like race, was a political refugee of an oceanic planet who was on the Space Station. When the TimeSplitters attacked, he hid himself in a cupboard while the TimeSplitters invaded and killed the Troopers. It is unknown whether he ever managed to escape, but it is highly likely he perished along with the Station.
Trivia[]
- Calamari is a squid with ten tentacles, and is a popular delicacy in and around the Mediterranean. Although real calamari has ten legs, the Calamari in TS2 and TSFP has only two.

- In his gesture, he has a Cockney accent.
- He is the only alien in the series to appear in more than one game.
- His pain/death voice clips - and fire scream - are exclusive to him.
- He, Snowman and Med-Unit 6 have the same gesture, but all three of them use unique gesture dialogue.
- His internal name is octo despite him being a squid.
