Trivia

• Almost all Boss Salmonids will drop three Golden Eggs when splatted. The exception to this is the Mothership, which deploys Chinooks that only drop one Golden Egg at a time. After Version 3.2.0, Goldies in Fog waves have a chance to drop either one, five, or ten Golden Eggs instead of three. After Version 4.0.0, Grillers will additionally drop five eggs instead of three. Golden Mudmouths will also drop five eggs once defeated.
• The Griller, Goldie, Mudmouths, and Mothership are the only Boss Salmonids that are exclusive to Known Occurrences.
• The only Boss Salmonid that cannot be splatted directly is the Mothership.
