Great Zapfish

The Great Zapfish is a character that plays a somewhat-major role in Splatoon, especially being the main objective of Hero Mode.

Description

The Great Zapfish is, according to the Sunken Scroll entry on it, 100 years old, and powers the entirety of Inkopolis. However, when the player enters the city's plaza for the first time, a news report turns on stating that the Great Zapfish has been stolen, and is believed to be linked to the UFO that crashed earlier outside of the city. However, when the player goes to Octo Valley for the first time, Cap'n Cuttlefish, a veteran of the Great Turf War, tells the player that the Great Zapfish has been stolen by the Octarians as an act of revenge for losing the war. Cuttlefish teams up with the player so they can take back the Zapfish, but first the player must take back every regular Zapfish before obtaining the Great Zapfish.

After collecting all regular Zapfish, the player finds the Great Zapfish in the hands of DJ Octavio, leader of the Octarians, who baits the player into saving it before sucking it up into his weapon. After defeating Octavio with the help of Agent 1 and Agent 2, the Great Zapfish is saved, and can be found resting on Inkopolis Tower for the rest of the game.

Appearance

Unlike other Zapfish, the Zapfish is a lot larger and is more reminiscent of an electric catfish. The Great Zapfish has yellow curled whiskers which give off electricity, an orange mouth, peach face, a dark blue body, and a small dark blue tail which features lime green along the edges. The fins are also the same colours as the tail.

Trivia
