Description
It can jump high into the air and land on teammates to attack, splatting them instantly if they are underneath it and dealing heavy damage if they are relatively close to its point of impact. This attack is similar, if not identical to the Splashdown, as the Splashdown landing marks appear before it lands. It can additionally fall onto its front, crushing those before it.
It can be attacked by shooting ink directly, but launching Golden Eggs at it with Egg Cannons deals more damage than regular attacks. Despite being an easy target due to its size, it has an extremely large amount of health and will require a full team concentrating their fire and launching multiple Golden Eggs to have a decent chance of defeating it within the given time limit. The player is rewarded fish scales by dealing damage to the Cohozuna.
