Maws

Maws are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run in.

Description
Maws attack by leaping mouth-first out of the ink, splatting Inklings in their path. Maws move fast enough to keep up with swimming inklings, and their attack is an instant splat. They are also very persistent when compared to other Salmonids, and can also travel up and down walls. When it prepares to attack, a circular light gives away its position; if a bomb is thrown at that spot, it will eat the bomb and be instantly slain.

Tips and Strategies

 * Maws will select one player to target and will not switch targets until they leap out of the ink.
 * The Sting Ray is a very poor choice to kill maws, as it slows the user down so much that the maws can easily swim up and gobble up the player.

Trivia

 * Maws seem to have fishing gear with them.
 * When they are still in the ink, Maws have a fishing bobber poking out of the ink that gives away their location.
