Jellyfish

A Jellyfish in Inkopolis Plaza.

Jellyfish are creatures found in Splatoon. They can be observed walking around Inkopolis, wearing various articles of clothing. They are the second-most common creature in the city, but most do not speak Inkling and cannot be interacted with.

Description

Unlike Inklings, jellyfish look fairly similar to their aquatic counterparts, with the most significant change being that their bodies have taken on a more humanoid shape. They have large, round heads, with their only facial features being a pair of very close-set eyes with square-shaped pupils and no visible irises. They have a pair of upper tentacles that serve as their arms, and a ring of eight lower tentacles that serve as legs. A jellyfish can stretch its "arm" tentacles to several times its body length at will.

Being quite gelatinous, jellyfish noticeably jiggle when they move. Through their translucent skin, squishy innards can be seen. Greenish-blue skin seems to be uniform across the species, with the exception of Jelonzo, whose skin is pure blue with a slight purple tinge in some areas. Though jellyfish have been shown to wear a variety of clothing, most only wear a t-shirt. Many of their shirts are just smaller versions of Inkling shirts, such as the Pirate-Stripe Tee and the Black Squideye. During a Splatfest, all jellyfish in Inkopolis Plaza wear a Splatfest Tee in support of their chosen team. However, their version of the shirt lacks the wristband, as they have no wrist to wear it on.

While most jellyfish have never been heard speaking, Jelonzo's voice has been heard. It is somewhat high, being very close in pitch to Annie's, but louder and clearer. It is possible that other jellyfish have a similar voice.

• Some, if not all, graffiti in Inkopolis Plaza is implied to be made by jellyfish; as stated in a developers' interview, jellyfish are known to create a large amount of graffiti.
