“ The egg basket is ready and waiting. Now go get me some Golden Eggs! ”
— Dialogue at the start of a wave of Salmon Run

Mr. Grizz, originally named Bear #3, is a character introduced in Splatoon 2 that returns in Splatoon 3. He is the CEO of Grizzco Industries. Unseen during Grizzco shifts, he delivers (likely pre-recorded) instructions to players via a bear statue.

Appearance

In Salmon Run and Salmon Run Next Wave, Mr. Grizz speaks through a wooden fishing bear statue with a radio antenna attached to it. Upon completing Return of the Mammalians, the statue in the latter mode is changed to a large fish eating a small bear.

Return of the Mammalians mode reveals his true appearance, a brown grizzly bear. Towards the end of said mode, he grows to enormous proportions by taking Fuzzy Ooze into his own body, with his eyes glowing white, then eventually red.

Description

Mr. Grizz is the owner of Grizzco. He has the responsibility of training, coaching, and supervising his employees.

When the player enters Salmon Run for the first time, he greets the player and gives them two tutorials before they can play the mode online, showcasing how to defeat each Boss Salmonid (excluding the Griller and Mothership). However, if the player enters before reaching Level 4, Mr. Grizz will see that they are a newbie and will not let them play Salmon Run as they would be a "liability".

Mr. Grizz supplies the player with advice on how to handle each event when one occurs in-game, and sometimes his own rare weapons, the Grizzco Blaster, Grizzco Brella, Grizzco Charger, and Grizzco Slosher, along with congratulating the player after each round and how well (or not-so-well) the player has done at the end of a match.

In Splatoon 3, Mr. Grizz is the primary antagonist of the single-player campaign, Return of the Mammalians, where he builds a large rocket intent on covering the planet in Fuzzy Ooze. He is not seen until the end of the campaign, where he is seen as an oversized bear with glowing (white or red) eyes and an emotionless facial expression.

History

Before Splatoon

Many years before the events of Splatoon, almost all mammal life on Earth was brought to extinction. Mr. Grizz (known as Bear #03), along with many of Earth's species, were placed into a cold sleep and launched into space aboard the Ark Polaris in an effort to find another hospitable planet. The Ark Polaris was eventually damaged and crashed back to Earth, with Bear #03 being the sole survivor, and the only mammal on Earth.

After experimenting on the crystals that gave the marine creatures human-like intelligence, he was able to create a new substance that turned any living creature into a mammal. This substance was stockpiled onto Alterna's rocket, although to create more, he would need Golden Eggs, and so he founded Grizzco Industries.

Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2, Mr. Grizz oversees Grizzco Industries, supplying his workers with weapons and gear in exchange for the Golden Eggs they obtain from Salmonids.

Splatoon 3

In Splatoon 3, Mr. Grizz is revealed the primary antagonist of the single-player campaign, Return of the Mammalians, where he kidnaps Cuttlefish and steals the Great Zapfish, all while spreading the Fuzzy Ooze with the intention of restoring balance to the world. He claims that he requires "the spirit, the vessel, and the wisdom of ages", and dehydrates Cuttlefish to this end before boarding the Fuzzy Ooze filled rocket.

After being defeated by Agent 3 and Smallfry, the rocket explodes, ending the threat of the Fuzzy Ooze and seemingly killing Mr. Grizz. Mr. Grizz's voice still guides Grizzco employees, although the statue used to represent Mr. Grizz is changed to a large fish eating a small bear.

During results, after clearing all three waves but failing to defeat the King Salmonid during an Xtrawave:

Trivia

  • According to an interview with the developers, Mr. Grizz may not even be observing the workplace and may be using an automatic speech program.[1]
    • This is confirmed as of Splatoon 3, with Mr. Grizz's voice still being present to give orders to employees despite the events of Return of the Mammalians, even after the radio was switched out.
    • Alternatively, Lil Judd starts wearing a radio headset after Return of the Mammalians, which has caused some players to speculate that he has claimed Mr. Grizz's identity for himself.
  • Mr. Grizz's appearance is based on the kibori kuma, being a wood-carved bear with a fish in its mouth.
  • When playing Salmon Run in The Shoal, Mr. Grizz's icon will be darkened and will be known as "Raspy Voice".
  • In the Splatoon manga, the character Bamboo Hat is shown carving out the bear statue.
  • According to the Dutch version, Mr. Grizz states that it is not allowed, according to the law, to resume a shift when the crew did not reach the quota after time ran out.
    • Mr. Grizz states that he has insurance which might or might not cover crew wipes, according to the Dutch version.
  • When first starting at Grizzco, he asks the player if they want to join something "bigger than themselves", which is similar to something Commander Tartar says in the Octo Expansion. This is not present in the Japanese version, so this is likely a coincidence.
  • When entering Grizzco for the first time, Mr. Grizz refers to the player as a squid in some languages. After the release of the Octo Expansion, the Latin American Spanish localization changes this so that he refers to the player as a cephalopod. Other languages that have this trait, including the original Japanese version, did not make this change.
  • Mr. Grizz was neutral for the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest, as he cares little for the shallow affairs of Inkopolis compared to the depth of the seven seas.[2]
New Year 2020 greeting image
  • The New Year greeting for 2020 was published as a message from Mr. Grizz, wishing people who did and did not have a vacation and saying Grizzco Industries will continue to offer part-time work during the new year.
    • The reflection of the number "2020" in the image, partially hidden by the lifesaver, spells out "SOS". Furthermore, the waves around the bottom each letter spell out "Save Our Salmons". This has sparked speculation among fans about future content in the series being centered around Salmonids.
      • This has been proven true with Splatoon 3 with the appearance of Smallfry and Mr. Grizz's appearance as an antagonist.
  • Mr. Grizz's title, "The Ursine Anomaly - #03" and Frye's quote "Go back to Ursa WHINER!" are both references to Ursa Minor, a constellation that means "Little Bear" in Latin.
  • While not explicitly stated, the form of a hulking bear with a teddy bear-like face and the globs of Fuzzy Ooze around his body seem to be the result of self experimentation with the Fuzzy Ooze, as Log.exe shows pictures of a regular bear.
    • This is further supported by the second phase of the final battle, with Mr. Grizz covered in even more Fuzzy Ooze than before, resulting in him growing to gigantic proportions.
