Mr. Grizz

"The egg basket is ready and waiting. Now go get me some Golden Eggs!"

- Dialogue at the start of a wave of Salmon Run

Mr. Grizz is a character in Splatoon 2.

Appearance
Mr. Grizz speaks through a wooden 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 the Griller and Mothership). However, if the player enters before reaching Level 4, Mr. Grizz will see that they are a newbie and will not 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, and sometimes his own rare weapons, the Grizzco Blaster, Grizzco Brella, Grizzco Charger, and Grizzco Slosher, 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.

Entering Grizzco while being under level 4:
 * "Welcome to Grizzco Industries. And congrats on taking the first step towards financial securi— Oh, you're a newb. Look, I'd hire ya, but it ain't legal. Besides, you'd just be a liability. Come back once you've hit Orange S2, and I'll give ya a job."

When entering Training 1 - The Basic Basics:
 * ''"Lesson One: On-the-Job Basics"
 * ''"All right, rookie. Listen up, Vicious, unfeeling Orange S2 will approach from the water."
 * ''"Your job is to splat 'em with ink to make them drop their Orange S2."
 * ''"As a Grizzco Industries employee, you are contractually obligated to collect as many Orange S2 as possible."
 * ''"Let's begin. Find those Orange S2!"

After splatting your first Salmonid
 * ''"You just got some Orange S2 for splatting that Salmonid. I'm counting on you to collect as many of those as you can."
 * ''"BACK TO WORK! Go harvest some more Orange S2 eggs."

After splatting some more Salmonids
 * ''"Hmm... Nice work, kid. You have middle management written all over you."
 * ''"Now, here's the thing-the most important part of your job is to harvest Orange S2. Only Orange S2 have those."

Boss Salmonid Alert!
 * ''"Ah, right on cue! A Orange S2 just appeared. Go hunt it down."

After collecting a Golden Egg.
 * ''"Mmm... Yes. The Boss Salmonid dropped its perfect Orange S2. Touch one to pick it up."
 * ''"Grizzco is a results-based organization. If you don't hit the Golden Egg Orange S2 each round, you're finished."
 * ''"OK. Grab that Golden Egg."
 * ''"Ooh. You've already got one strapped to your back. A self-starter. You'll do fine here, kid."
 * ''"All Golden Eggs should be taken straight to the Orange S2."

After delivering a Golden Egg to the basket.
 * ''"All right - That's one egg down. Your quota is three, so you need to get two more."
 * ''"Just head back and grab the other two egg-HUH?!"

Snatcher scene
 * ''"That filthy Salmonid is stealing the Golden Eggs you harvested!"


 * ''"THAT SLIMY THIEF JUST STOLE MY EGGS! Next time that happens, splat it before it gets back to the water!"
 * ''"GRRRRRR... Go find me another Golden Egg."

This way! signal
 * ''"Huh? It sounds like one of your coworkers is calling you. Go see what they want."

Collecting Golden Egg and Booyah signal from coworker
 * ''"Mmm... Yes. Another sweet little egg. Communicating with your coworkers is an essential part of egg collection."

Help! signal
 * ''"Ooh. Looks like another one of your coworkers is down. Spray her with ink to revive her."

after reviving coworker
 * ''"Always help your coworkers when they're in need. If your Orange S2, you're finished."
 * ''"Press up on to Orange S2 or Orange S2."
 * ''"Now, take the Golden Egg back to the egg basket."

After delivery
 * ''"You've collected two Golden Eggs. Just one more to fulfill your quota."
 * ''"You're always on the clock, so make sure to hit your quota before Orange S2."
 * ''"Let's find one more Golden Egg, and then I'll let you clock out."

After collecting Golden Egg
 * ''"Take the Golden Egg to the basket."

After delivery
 * ''"Three Golden Eggs. You've met your quota. Nice work."


 * ''"Now, just stay alive until the end of your shift. Or you can collect more Golden Eggs to surpass your quota if you want a bonus."

At the 30 seconds left mark
 * ''"Oh, yeah-I've also supplied you with two Orange S2 that you can use while you work. Try not to waste them."

Clock continues
 * ''"Now, just stay alive until the end of your shift. Or you can collect more Golden Eggs to surpass your quota if you want a bonus."

Time runs out - Wave 1 clear!
 * ''"OK, that's enough training for now. Let's get you back to the boat."

Back in Grizzco
 * ''"Welcome back, kid."
 * ''"Nice work out there. You have a bright future here at Grizzco."
 * ''"I'm pretty sure you're ready for action, but I gotta put you through one more training course. Labor laws and all that."

 * "If you get swarmed by Glowflies, good luck staying alive. Once they're on you, every Salmonid around will be trying to splat you."

 * "Salmonids tend to group up and come at ya from one direction. That direction is liable to change over time, though."
 * "Hiding from Salmonids in your own ink won't work. They've got a wicked sense of smell and can sniff out Inklings from a distance."

"Now that's the kind of work I've been looking for! A true Profreshional!"

"It may be hard to forget that the stinger was even there so make sure to knock them out first."

"Let's see how many eggs everyone collected. (Insert number of golden eggs) Not too bad." }}

Etymology
Grizz comes from 'grizzly', as in 'grizzly bear', also present in Grizzco.

Trivia

 * According to an interview with the developers, Mr. Grizz may not even be observing the workplace and may be using an automatic speech program.
 * Mr. Grizz's appearance is based on the kibori kuma, being a wood-carved bear with a fish in its mouth.
 * When playing Salmon Run in The Shoal, Mr. Grizz's icon will be darkened and will be known as "Raspy Voice".
 * In the Splatoon manga, the character Bamboo Hat is shown carving out the bear statue, implying that she may be behind Mr Grizz's voicing and the industry itself.
 * According to the Dutch version, Mr. Grizz states that it is not allowed, according to the law, to resume a shift when the crew did not reach the quota after time ran out.
 * Mr. Grizz states that he has insurance which might or might not cover crew wipes, according to the Dutch version.
 * When first starting at Grizzco, he asks the player if they want to join something "bigger than themselves", which is similar to something Commander Tartar says in the Octo Expansion. This isn't present in the Japanese version.
 * Mr. Grizz was neutral for the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest, as he cares little for the shallow affairs of Inkopolis compared to the depth of the seven seas.




 * The New Year greeting for 2020 was published as a message from Mr. Grizz, wishing people who did and did not have a vacation and saying Grizzco Industries will continue to offer part-time work during the new year.
 * The reflection of the number "2020" in the image, partially hidden by the lifesaver, spells out "SOS". Furthermore, the waves around the bottom each letter spell out "Save Our Salmons". This has sparked speculation among fans about future content in the series being centered around Salmonids.
 * This has partially been proved true with Splatoon 3 trailers and the reveal of Little buddy.
