Fish Stick
Template:InfoboxCharacter Fish Sticks are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3.
Description
When a Fish Stick spawns, a tall tower-like pillar is planted on the ground, carried by a group of flying Smallfry. While in the air, the Smallfry slowly rain ink to cover the surrounding ground. A Fish Stick can defeated by splatting the Smallfry above it. The pillar can be inked and then easily climbed using a Squid Surge. Once all Smallfry have been splatted, the Fish Stick will drop three Golden Eggs on top of the pillar. The pillar remains after defeating the Fish Stick until the end of the wave and can be used as high ground against other Salmonids.
Quotes
| “ | We have proudly classified an entirely new Boss Salmonid known as a "Fish Stick." As the name implies, flying Salmonids have been observed planting a large "stick" to gain a tactical advantage. Could it be exploited somehow? Our research continues. | ” |
