The Jelletons are enemies encountered within the Spire of Order's floors in Splatoon 3: Side Order. They are artificial constructs created by the Overlorder to drive intruders out of the Spire. They were originally designed by Marina to be staff for the Spire and looked "cuter" until Overlorder took over and changed their purpose.

Appearance

The Jelletons are mechanical-looking enemies that appear as skeletal sea creatures encased in transparent black gelatin save for their tails, as well as their fins in the case of the larger ones. They are entirely white and have red and white eyes popping out of their sockets.

These enemies attack by lunging directly at Agent 8. Swarming Languendos can manipulate their height via their gelatinous components.

Quotes

“ These mysterious enemies pursue Agent 8 relentlessly in Wave 2 of the #Splatoon3: Expansion Pass, Side Order. Are they lifeforms, or machines? Whatever they are, they seem to be gearing up for something… ”
— @NintendoEurope on Twitter[1]
“ This just in from SRL Oppo Research: some fishy foes are all over the Spire of Order. They look like animated fish bones—biological or mechanical, we have no idea. All of them seem to act in harmony toward the same goal, but alas, that goal is to relentlessly harass Agent 8. ”

Etymology

"Jelleton" is a portmanteau of "jelly" and "skeleton", as well as a play on "gelatin" and possibly "tone."

Most of the names for individual Jelletons come from Italian words or phrases commonly used in music. According to an interview in Famitsu, this was done to reflect noted musician Marina creating the world they inhabit.
