Torpedo

The Torpedo is a sub weapon in Splatoon 2. It is a Bomb-type weapon which, when thrown near an enemy, changes shape and targets the foe, exploding on impact and splatting ink everywhere. Torpedoes thrown by opponents can be shot down with your attack.

Appearance
The Torpedo is a clear plastic ink canister with a resealable nozzle. When activated by flying near an enemy, it stops in midair and begins expanding into a fish shape while targetting the enemy. After fully expanding it will slowly launch forward, ultimately exploding when touching the enemy or a wall or floor.

The expanded Torpedo is designed after single-use soy sauce packets shaped like fish, popularized by Kikkoman. The weapon's front is shaped like the resealable nozzle of these packets, and its body has fish scales, fins, and eyes. The bottom of the pre-expansion projectile has a black circle which transforms into a propeller when the weapon activates.

Trivia

 * The Torpedo resembles the small, plastic, fish-shaped soy sauce containers often given out at sushi restaurants.
 * Additionally, the weapon bears a resemblance to the torpedoes launched by Drizzlers. Both can be shot down in mid-air, and both stop in mid-air and change in appearance before they unleash their attack.
 * After the initial explosion, the torpedo bursts into approximately 8 miniature exploding Paint-balls, based off real world paint-ball ammunition.
