Belemnoids are an extinct group of marine cephalopod, very similar in many ways to the modern squid. Like them, the belemnoids possessed an ink sac, but, unlike the squid, they possessed ten arms of roughly equal length, and no tentacles. The name "belemnoid" comes from the Ancient Greek word βέλεμνον (bélemnon), meaning "dart, arrow", and είδος (eídos), meaning "form".
