Appearance

The Tentacles Helmet is an American football helmet that changes color to match that of the wearer's ink. On the sides is a black and white squid logo and down the middle is a thick green stripe edged with white. The chinstrap is white, and the face mask is a darker version of the wearer's ink color. On the forehead is a white rectangle with some Inkling text in black.

Abilities

The Tentacles Helmet comes with Run Speed Up as the primary ability. As a 3-star item, the Tentacles Helmet comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. Since it is made by the Forge gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Duration Up and a lower chance of rolling Ink Saver (Sub) to fill its secondary ability slots.

Trivia

• The Tentacles Helmet is the most expensive piece of gear with Run Speed Up in Splatoon. It is tied with the Blue Sailor Suit and Gas Mask for most expensive Forge gear.
• The Tentacles Helmet, Octoling Armor and the Octoling Boots are the only pieces of gear from Splatoon to not return in Splatoon 2, excluding special promotion related gear, such as the SQUID GIRL Gear, the Traditional Gear, and the CoroCoro Gear.
  • Oddly, the Tentacles Helmet appeared in the March 8, 2018 Nintendo Direct, suggesting it would return in Version 3.0.0, but it did not.
  • Two similar helmets, the Deca Tackle Visor Helmet and the Octo Tackle Helmet Deco, which also were featured in the Direct, were released in Version 3.0.0, and one other similar helmet, the Hockey Helmet, was released from the start.
