“	That's a Horrorboros. Do I even need to tell you to avoid the bombs that it periodically launches out of its mouth?	”
— Mr. Grizz

Horrorboros is a King Salmonid that appears in Salmon Run Next Wave during an Xtrawave. It is the second type of King Salmonid to debut in Splatoon 3.

Description

Horrorboros is a large, dragon-like Salmonid. It has a large mouth with a weapon device similar to that of the Steelhead's bomb. It spawns at the water's edge, slowly rises into the air, and slowly moves around the map, floating in a dragon-like manner. It uses an attack similar to the Booyah Bomb weapon as its main attack (albeit larger), charging it up using the contraption in its mouth and launching it down towards the players. Players can attack Horrorboros' body directly, or attack the bomb from its mouth to deal massive damage.

Horrorboros' health, like Cohozuna, depends on the hazard level. When facing a team of Eggsecutive VPs, it will have a maximum of 64,000 HP.

Tips

• In a similar manner to the Steelhead, the bomb Horrorboros charges up can be attacked. If destroyed, this will deal a huge amount of damage to Horrorboros and cancel its Booyah Bomb attack.
• Horrorboros' large size and floating nature allows the team to deal damage to it virtually anywhere on the map.

Quotes

“	We're probably legally required to inform you that a new type of King Salmonid may begin appearing in March. It's a giant, terrifying serpent called Horrorboros, and did we mention that it flies? But... you'll probably be fine. Remember - you can earn a sticker!	”

“	A new King Salmonid has been sighted snaking through the skies in #Splatoon3! Witnesses are referring to it as 'Horrorboros'...	”
