Chum
Template:InfoboxCharacter Chums[Citation needed] 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.
