Li'l Judd

"Breaking news! We’ve confirmed the identity of the furry creature seen previously in both video footage and the recent Testfire event! Ready for it? Everyone, meet Li’l Judd!

is a cat in Splatoon 2 that resembles a smaller version of Judd. He also referees Multiplayer matches with Judd.

Appearance
Li'l Judd resembles Judd to the point where his tuxedo-like fur patterns directly match up with Judd's fur. However, Li'l Judd's is more faded than Judd's. He also seems to have a happier personality than Judd, as he's often seen smiling.

Splatoon 2
Li'l Judd acts as the referee along with Judd for Turf War and Ranked Battle matches. He represents the Bad Guys (opposing team), and depending on which team wins, Li'l Judd will falls down in defeat when the Good Guys (player's team) win, while the Judd brandishes a flag of their team's color and vice versa. According to the post made by The Squid Research Lab, he wants to take over Judd's job as judge cat.
