The Flipper-Flopper is a Boss Salmonid that appears in Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3.
Description
The Flipper-Flopper is an armored Salmonid that resembles a dolphin. It attacks by first shooting a ring of enemy ink towards the player; after a short delay the Flipper-Flopper will belly-flop onto the circled area, splatting any player who cannot escape in time. However, if the circled area is covered in player ink before the belly flop, the Flipper-Flopper's armor will break upon hitting the ground and it will flop there, where it can be quickly splatted. The ring's area will be immediately filled by the players' ink after inking enough of it, similar to Splat Zones. If not splatted after losing its armor, the armor will presumably not return.
