Griller

Grillers are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run in.

Description
Giant barbeque grill-like Salmonids covered in armor, they move along a path while ink falls beneath their slim bodies (similar to Flooders). It chases after a randomly chosen Inkling, designated by a laser pointer on its underside. The Griller will relentlessly pursue the inkling the tracking laser is pointed at. They are frequently accompanied by Smallfry swarms.

In order to destroy a Griller, players must first hit its the exposed tail back to stun it, then attack the three other tails which appear while it's stunned. Anywhere else, and the overgrown fish takes no damage. If an Inkling runs into its ink, it's an instant splat. Grillers are fast and unpredictable, so players have to be careful and wary of both the Salmonid as well as its Smallfry escorts.

Grillers only show up in certain special wave. If Mr Grizz talks about Grillers in the dialogue box instead of boss salmonids, that means the players are in the special wave. This wave consists of only Grillers and small groups of smallfry. Grillers only show up one at a time due to how bothersome they are to kill, but later on in the wave, they show up in pairs of two. Mr. Grizz will warn the players when the Grillers start spawning in pairs.

What Happens

 * Armored vehicles called Grillers spawn one after another. Grillers lock their sights on to a target and will pursue it relentlessly.
 * Smallfry are know for hitching a ride on the Griller and interfering with its targeting.

How to Get Golden Eggs

 * Attack the weak spot on the back of the Griller to stun it.
 * Stunning Grillers will reveal further weak points. Attacking these weak points is the key to taking down Grillers and getting Golden Eggs.

Advice from Mr. Grizz

 * If the Griller has you in its sights, you're better off running away and letting your friends handle it.

Supplementary Information

 * Operating costs for a single Griller would be enough to deploy 100 regular Salmonid fighters.
