Hardly means it 's a mollusk.

I think more likely it's a crustacean that evolved to have tendrils and produce oil.

Also, it's an exoskeleton, NOT a shell. It cannot just slip out of it.

I'd say the resemblance to a squid is completely by chance (in-universe wise) and an example of convergent evolution. It's clearly an arthropod.
