Pearl Drone is a form Pearl can freely change to and from within the Memverse in Side Order.

Appearance

The Pearl Drone is a small, pale pink flying robot with a round shape and a crown on top. Her eyes are rendered as a black LCD screen in the shape of an Inkling eye mask, with two white cross shapes representing her pupils. Above them are two pale yellow sliding buttons, functioning as eyebrows. The Pearl Drone also has a small hole below her right eye, representing Pearl's beauty mark, and two appendages on the sides that each have a pink gradient and a sucker-like white circle below, resembling tentacles. On the bottom are blades attached to a black opening.

Abilities

Similar to Smallfry in Return of the Mammalians, Pearl acts as a companion for Agent 8. Unlike Smallfry, she acts independently, by attacking enemies alongside the player. She can be upgraded by placing color chips inside a Palette, enhancing her abilities or adding sub weapons like Splat Bombs to her arsenal, which have to be charged before use, similarly to special weapons. She is also able to ink the ground like a Sprinkler, summon individual Killer Wail 5.1 speakers, and carry the player like a glider when being in the air for some time or pressing and holding after jumping.

Upgrades

The abilities of the Pearl drone can be upgraded with color chips and the arsenal of weapons expanded with Marina's Hacks, which have to be unlocked in exchange for Prlz.

Trivia

    • On the large rock to the left of Marina.
    • On the right side of the roof of the Spire of Order entrance
    • On top of the telephone pole on the left side of the Order Sector.
  • One of the Pearl Drone's blades has a small sticker with a visual warning for rotating machinery.
