Judd

Judd (Japanese: ジャッジくん Jajji-kun) is a cat in Splatoon. Unlike other characters, he seems to play a bigger role in Splatoon's story that remains a mystery. In multiplayer, he plays the role of referee in Online multiplayer battles. When he's done judging, he can be found sleeping on a trash bin in the Inkopolis Plaza.

Personality and traits
Judd was born with the incredible ability to judge turf area at a glance to separate the winners from the losers. It may look like he’s wearing a snazzy cat tuxedo, but that’s actually just the naturally occurring pattern of his fur. He is also a bit lazy just like most cats.

Trivia

 * Judd's name is likely derived from the word "judge," as he is the referee for Splatoon's multiplayer modes.
 * Judd is in the original cover art for Splatoon, but ended up being covered by the logo. He can now just about be seen between the 'S' and the 'p'.
