Appearance

The Skull Bandana is a large, dark gray bandana covering the wearer's face from the nose down. On the front is the lower half of a stylized skull with fangs similar to those of an Inkling, and below it, printed very small, is the Inkling text from the Forge logo in white. The bandana is tied in a knot on the back of the head, with some white patterns on and around the knot.

When displayed in a Locker in Splatoon 3, this gear is placed on a black mannequin head.
