Bisk

“	Hey, it's Bisk the spider crab! He's also the proud proprietor of Inkopolis Square's premier shoe shop, Shella Fresh. His many long limbs welcome customers one and all, and he exudes the type of laid-back cool you just can't teach.	”
— Squid Research Lab

Bisk is a character in Splatoon 2. He is a spider crab who operates Shella Fresh.

Appearance

Bisk appears to be a tall, yellow spider crab who wears tall, white boots with black laces that resemble a knee-high variant of the Punk Whites, a black tank top, a necklace that appears to have a crab claw, and a flannel shirt tied around his waist. On his other legs, he has shoes which appear to be slip-ons but in different colors. He wears thick, white, oval-rimmed sunglasses. The two limbs on his head are seemingly supposed to simulate long, flowing blonde hair.

Personality and traits

Bisk has a laid-back personality supported by his casual demeanor and frequent use of slang words. He likes shoes, crediting the fact that he wears many and that he owns Shella Fresh, the shoe shop of Inkopolis Square. He also appears to like freshness in others. Bisk also seems to have an amicable relationship with Crusty Sean. He is a musician and can play both the bass and electric guitars, and both came to Inkopolis Square and broke up with his girlfriend to pursue a career in music.
