Smallfry (species)

Smallfries are a type of Salmonid that appears in Salmon Run in Splatoon 2.

They charge at Inklings, leaving a thin trail of ink as they move. They have low health, but are fast and hard to hit due to their small size. Smallfries can badly hurt players if they are allowed to gang up on an unwary target. Smallfrys are easily dealt with using a roller. They are they only lesser Salmonoid appear during Griller.

Salmonid Field Guide
The following text is quoted from the Salmonid Field Guide.
 * Basic Information
 * They tend to appear in groups rather than alone.
 * Defeating them will earn you Power Eggs.
 * Attack Behavior
 * They use their sense of smell to locate and close in on targets who have entered their territory.
 * Once they close in on a target, they perform close-range attacks using frying pans or other cookware.
 * Elimination
 * Can be neutralised relatively easily with a direct hit of ink.
 * Supporting Information
 * They inhabit a restricted ocean zone, and any unauthorised contact with them is expressly forbidden by law.
 * The Smallfry might be weak, but they're very fast. They often ambush their targets from below.
 * On their own, they don't pose a significant threat, but ignore them and you may quickly find yourself surrounded.

Trivia

 * A Smallfry can be seen in the cockpit of a Flyfish.
