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 is very similar to its predecessor. While active, the user constantly remains in squid form, can swim on top of enemy ink unobstructed, and inks 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.

Quotes

“ Behold - the Kraken Royale! Activate this special to transform into a giant squid or octopus with the power to splat and scatter enemies left and right. You can jump to trigger a wide-ranging spin move, or hold and release the Button to unleash a one-shot charge attack!

Notice a moment of vulnerability before and after transforming - contrasted with total invincibility while transformed! Still, attacks slow you down, so get slippery with jumps, charges, Squid Surges, and Squid Rolls to reach your target.

“ If you ever wanted to become a giant squid or octopus, this weapon is for you. While transformed, you can move around and repel enemy attacks. Jump and splat your enemies with powerful spin moves, or hold and then release to charge forward aggressively. ”
