“	The greatest hazards sometimes lead to the happiest of windfalls.	”
— Cipher explaining Risky Returns in Side Order

Cipher is a character in Splatoon 3: Side Order. It runs a stall located in the Order Sector called Cipher's Siftings where the player can purchase locker decorations, stickers, banners, and gear with Prlz. It seems to show interest in Agent 8 and is one of few residents in the Order Sector capable of communication. It will appear after completing Side Order.

Appearance

Cipher appears to be a prawn in the family Luciferidae. It has a translucent body and the lavender fades into a pink on its antennae, fingers, and feet. Its antennae curl around two small silver hoops and it has two eye stalks ending in two large eyes with blue oval pupils. It wears a white coat that is pink on the inside and has a silver belt.

Shop

Cipher sells multiple things, including locker decorations, stickers, banners, and gear. After a player purchases everything in its shop, Cipher will offer a service similar to the Shel-drone, delivering random rewards to the player's lobby terminal every day for 100 Prlz.
