Template:InfoboxCharacter Chums are a type of Salmonid, the main antagonists of Salmon Run in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.

Chums are the most common form of Salmonid, and use a frying pan to attack players. They are not very tough individually, but they can pose a threat in large numbers or against Inklings and Octolings that are not paying attention to their surroundings. During a Rush, Chums become very fast and deadly, and they come in huge numbers.

Quotes

The following text is quoted from the Salmonid Field Guide.

Basic Information
  • They tend to appear in groups rather than alone.
  • Defeating them will earn you Power Eggs.
Attack Behavior
  • They use their sense of smell to locate and close in on targets who have entered their territory.
  • Once they close in on a target, they perform close-range attacks using frying pans or other cookware.
Elimination
  • Can be neutralized relatively easily with a direct hit of ink.
Supporting Information
  • They inhabit a restricted ocean zone, and any unauthorized contact with them is expressly forbidden by law.
  • On their own, they don't pose a significant threat, but ignore them and you may quickly find yourself surrounded.
