King Salmonids are enormous Salmonids that appear as bosses in the Xtrawave of Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3.

Description

One King Salmonid appears in an Xtrawave after the shift finishes, depending on how full the team's Salmometers are. The crew will need to defeat the King Salmonid within the time limit while fighting other Boss Salmonids. It can be defeated by using the player's main, sub, and special weapons. Additionally, an egg cannon is supplied to all players during an Xtrawave, and with it, Golden Eggs can be thrown at the King Salmonid to deal massive damage to it.

Types of King Salmonids

Triumvirate

Main article: Triumvirate
The Triumvirate's introduction screen on Inkblot Art Academy

The Sizzle Season 2024 announcement trailer[1] revealed the Triumvirate, a special Xtrawave occurrence where all three King Salmonids are fought at once.

The Triumvirate debuted in BIG Big Run, as the sole King Salmonid available during the event. Considerably more difficult to defeat than a regular King Salmonid, each of the three King Salmonids has its own health bar; the Triumvirate will only be defeated once all three King Salmonids are splatted. Megalodontia may damage its fellow King Salmonids similar to how it may damage Boss Salmonids. Upon defeating an individual King Salmonid, an announcement message is displayed to all players in shaky letters, e.g. "Horrorboros down!"

Fighting the Triumvirate offered a three times increase in fish scale output. Defeating the Triumvirate rewarded a badge immediately after exiting that Salmon Run Next Wave lobby. Defeating a Triumvirate at Hazard Level MAX rewarded the Grizzco helicopter locker decoration after dialogue with Mr. Grizz's statue in the Grizzco lobby.

Salmometer

Each player has a Salmometer (called "smell" in the game's files) that increases by 1 after every shift without encountering a King Salmonid, no matter the outcome of the shift (win or loss at any wave). This meter can be seen in the top right of the screen while in the Grizzco building. It starts out empty until it becomes full after 5 shifts, or when an encounter happens, resetting it back to zero.

The sum of every team member's Salmometer gives the probability of a King Salmonid appearing at the end of wave 3. When all four meters are full, the encounter is guaranteed.

Note that the visual representation below is only for easier readability, not the exact meters needed. For example, four meters at 1 would be equal to one meter at 4.

The second table shows a simplified version for 4-person teams playing together with their meters synced — mainly, if a King is encountered and the team keeps playing together afterwards.

Quotes

“ Squid Research Lab is excited and more than a little scared to reveal the existence of a King Salmonid. This unfathomably terrifying creature can be scientifically described as "ginormous." We hope to release more details soon. ”
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter[3]
“ Sadly, it's not all break rooms and promotions in the working world. Sometimes you have a tough day at the office and get attacked by a King Salmonid. HR recommends fighting it off with an egg cannon (you could earn bonus fish scales) and then taking a personal day. ”
