The Kraken Royale is a special weapon in Splatoon 3. It transforms the user into a nearly invincible giant squid/octopus that is capable of jump attacks and charge attacks.
Appearance
The Kraken Royale transforms the user into a huge squid or octopus. Its tentacles are longer and its head is larger. Its body is slightly darker than the user's ink color, with lighter patterns at the end of its tentacles and head. Unlike its Splatoon counterpart, Octolings can use the special as well, transforming them into the octopus equivalent, which also has longer tentacles and a much bigger head.
Splatoon 3
The Kraken Royale was first added to Splatoon 3 in Fresh Season 2023 (Version 3.0.0).
The Kraken Royale is very similar to its predecessor. While active, the user constantly remains in swim form, can swim on top of enemy ink unobstructed, and inks the ground by moving over it, although they cannot submerge in ink. By jumping, the user performs a spinning attack that can splat a foe in two hits. The Kraken Royale is also invincible to enemy fire, although it can be knocked back.
A new ability of the Kraken Royale is a charge attack, similar to a horizontal Squid Surge. After holding for a brief period, the user can move forward at a greatly improved speed, inking the ground and instantly splatting any foe in the way (similar to a Reefslider without the explosion). This ability also helps greatly reduce knockback.
Notably, the Kraken Royale leaves the player briefly vulnerable before and after transforming, far more so than its predecessor.
This special is one of the nine available specials in Salmon Run Next Wave. It was added to Salmon Run along with the Triple Splashdown special in Version 6.0.0. It is able to pierce through armored enemies such as Drizzlers, Steelheads, and Flyfish with its jump and charge attacks.
