Scrapper

Scrappers are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run in Splatoon 2.

Description
Scrappers move slowly, but leave behind a large trail of ink. The only way to splat a Scrapper is to shoot its tail, which is located behind it. Shooting anywhere else will do no damage, but doing this enough will stun the Scrapper. Players should use this time to splat the Scrapper. If one player shoots the Scrapper, it will stop moving and face its shield against this player, making other players able to attack from behind.

If the player shoots the Scrapper but does not stun it, it will take around two seconds from the last shot before it starts moving again. If the player stuns it but does not splat it, it will take around five seconds before its shield is repaired and it starts moving again.
