Ammoses Shellendorf

Ammoses Shellendorf❌, or Ammoni Shellendorf, is a minor character in. He is Sheldon's grandfather, or "grandpappy," as Sheldon calls him.

His status and location are unknown, as he has never been seen in person in-game.

History
Ammoses Shellendorf served in the Great Turf War as part of a division called the Squidbeak Splatoon alongside Cap'n Cuttlefish, Judd, and two unidentified Inkling soldiers.

At some point, Booyah Base was built around Sheldon's home and weapons shop. However, it was not him, but Ammoses Shellendorf who owned the land at the time. This suggests that Ammoses Shellendorf may still be alive, as Sheldon appears young enough that these events could have happened fairly recently. He also hid a treasure atop of Mount Nantai in the manga.

Weapons
Ammoses Shellendorf designed many anti-Octarian weapons, ten of which are known:



They are unlocked by collecting Sunken Scrolls in boss missions.

Etymology
Ammoses is derived from ammonite, a type of mollusk, or ammo, a clipping of the word ammunition. The latter definition references his career as a weapon engineer. Shellendorf is derived from shell.
