Sea-Cucumber Phone

Sea-Cucumber Phones are a piece of equipment the player has in Splatoon 3 - they are flip-phones with a rounded shell and rounded spines on the outside of their screens, resembling those of a sea cucumber. All players seem to have them, although they are not usually seen. They can be used to listen to the Anarchy Splatcast in the background as an alternative to watching it, and players can be seen in the plaza using them. When using the Sea-Cucumber Phone to listen to the broadcast in the background, the dialog is shown at the top left of the screen, implying that the player is using their phone to listen to it. Players can obtain a Sea-Cucumber Phone for their locker by purchasing it from Hotlantis for 85,850 coins or via the Shell-Out Machine.

Trivia

 * This phone replaced those from the previous games, which were smartphones shaped like squids or octopi, though a squid-shaped phone is still visible on a table in Splatoon 3's iteration of The Shoal and on display in a shop in Splatsville.
