Mr. Grizz

Mr. Grizz is a character in Splatoon 2.

Appearance
Mr. Grizz speaks through a fishing bear statue with a radio antenna attached to it. His true appearance remains unknown.

Description
Mr. Grizz is the owner of Grizzco. He has the responsibility of training, coaching, and supervising his employees.

When the player enters Salmon Run for the first time, he greets the player and gives them two tutorials before they can play the mode online, showcasing how to defeat each Boss Salmonid (excluding Griller and Mothership). However, if the player enters before reaching Level 4, Mr. Grizz will see that they're a newbie and won't let them play Salmon Run as they would be a "liability".

Mr. Grizz supplies the player with advice on how to handle each event when one occurs in game, along with congratulating the player after each round and how well (or not-so-well) the player has done at the end of a match.
