Quotes
"These mysterious enemies pursue Agent 8 relentlessly in Wave 2 of the #Splatoon3: Expansion Pass, Side Order. Are they lifeforms, or machines? Whatever they are, they seem to be gearing up for something…"

"This just in from SRL Oppo Research: some fishy foes are all over the Spire of Order. They look like animated fish bones—biological or mechanical, we have no idea. All of them seem to act in harmony toward the same goal, but alas, that goal is to relentlessly harass Agent 8."

Trivia

 * The enemies' appearance is similar to that of parrotfish, sea animals that can play a significant role in bioerosion including the destruction of coral.
 * The enemies of Side Order are the first enemy species in the SS undefined' story campaigns to not be Octarian or a variant (sanitized and fuzzy) of them.
 * However, they share similarities with Salmonids, as they attack the player continously instead of being stationary until provoked. The three sizes are also similar to the lesser Salmonids, namely Smallfry, Chums and Cohocks.
