A creature within this shimmering cloud of blue light must succeed at a DC 11 Fortitude save or be dazzled for as long as it remains in the cloud and for 1 round thereafter. The cloud persists for 1d4+1 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.

This eerie mollusk is covered in photophores, which it can use to create a defensive barrage of light when agitated.
A vampire squid can reach a total body length of up to 1 foot and weighs 1 pound.Creatures in "Familiar" CategorySource Pathfinder RPG Bestiary pg. 131
