— Cipher explaining Risky Rewards 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,[1] appearing after the player clears the Spire of Order for the first time, and sells the player locker decorations, stickers, banners, and gear in exchange for Prlz.[2] It seems to show interest in Agent 8 and is one of few residents in the Order Sector capable of communication.[3]
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.
Personality and traits
Cipher is the only character among those living as nodes of the program who has begun to realize that the Order Sector is a virtual world. Its speech pattern is odd due to the blended thoughts from a shared consciousness. Though Cipher is knowledgeable, it possesses a childlike curiosity about everything.[4] It collects Prlz in hopes of learning more about the Memverse.[5]
Shop
- Main article: Side Order#Cipher's Siftings
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.

Etymology
"Cipher" refers to a numeric character or a cryptographic algorithm used to encrypt or decrypt information; it is also slang for a hip-hop jam session with multiple participants, befitting the musical name theming of Side Order as well as Cipher's identity as a kind of shared consciousness. Its name is also derived from the middle syllables of luciferidae, its species.
