Fred Crumbs
Template:InfoboxCharacter Fred Crumbs is the shoes dealer for Shrimp Kicks in Inkopolis in Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass. His design is based on Aji Fry, which is a deep-fried Japanese horse mackerel dish.
Appearance
Similar to Crusty Sean, Fred Crumbs gives the impression of a humanoid deep-fried food. He has two fins, with his right holding a slice of lemon. His lips are a bluish-purple and his eyes have black strokes that are angled, giving the impression of squinted eyes. He wears a piercing on his tail, which is located on the top of his body, and his shoes can alternate between a pair of Silver Hi-Horses, a pair of white Tenya Octos, a pair of red, white, and yellow Squidkid Vs, and a pair of yellow, orange and green Mako Bucket Hi-Tops.
Quotes
| “ | And here we have Fred Crumbs. He's newly filleted and deep-fried, as the job posting at Shrimp Kicks called for someone with "extra crispy" fashion sense. Despite this misunderstanding, Fred knows his shoes and is reportedly pleased that he can now wear both a left and a right. | ” |
