Mudmouth
| “ | There's an old saying about Mudmouths... "If you see one pop up from underground, throw a bomb in its mouth." Yes, it is a VERY specific saying. | ” |
- For the Known Occurrence, see Mudmouth Eruption.
Mudmouths are Boss Salmonids that appear in Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3 during some special waves.
Description
Mudmouths are tall, stationary Salmonids that emerge from Gushers on the ground during special waves called Mudmouth Eruptions. Their body seems to be made of slime or ectoplasm of some sort. They have large mouths that extend all the way down to the ground and an orange, mohawk-like dorsal fin similar to that of Chums and Cohocks. Their eyes and inside of their mouths emit a green-blue light.
Mudmouths spawn Chums from their mouths at a rapid rate and cannot be damaged by normal weapons. Throwing a Splat Bomb into a Mudmouth's mouth will damage it and cause it to spit out a Golden Egg. As the Mudmouth takes more damage, its expression will become more pained, its body will begin to melt, and its dorsal fin will fray. Once enough damage is dealt, the Mudmouth will explode, leaving behind three more golden eggs.
Golden Mudmouths
| “ | Hey, I thought I saw a Golden Mudmouth out there! Also, what's with the Cohocks on parade? Weird. | ” |
During a Mudmouth wave, occasionally a Golden Mudmouth will spawn instead. Golden Mudmouths have a golden sheen to their bodies and the light shining inside them is yellow. They spawn Cohocks instead of Chums and drop significantly more Golden Eggs than the standard Mudmouths.
