Smallfry (character)

The "little buddy" is a Smallfry that accompanies the player in Splatoon 3. They can be customized with different hairstyles and assist the player in Hero Mode. They are unaffected by Fuzzy Ooze and can even eat and clean it up.

Trivia

 * It is unknown how or why the bond between the player's Inkling or Octoling and this Smallfry was formed - this is unusual due to the normal aggression Salmonids show towards Inklings and Octolings.
 * This Smallfry's nose matches its gray color, whereas the Smallfry encountered in Salmon Run have red noses.
 * Little Buddy sometimes rides in the player's ink tank in the Hero Mode.
