inklike
Dark and fluid
Inklike means resembling ink in appearance or quality—dark, fluid, or capable of staining.
The word typically describes liquids or shadows: an inklike darkness spread across the water, the squid released an inklike cloud.
Sometimes used for anything that leaves marks like ink would.
