Trivia

File:Octo Expansion Gender Selection.png

The player customization screen in Octo Expansion.

• There is a seperate player customization screen in Octo Expansion, having the playable Octolings floating naked in test tube with green liquid.
• In Octo Expansion it is possible to choose Agent 3's appearance, having the same options as the player customization in Splatoon.
• In Splatoon, when changing the player customization both Inklings would have the same skin tone and eye color as the recent Inkling the player had. If it's the first time picking a character, then the default Inklings would have the girl with the second lightest skin tone and orange eyes, and the boys would have the third lightest skin tone and blue eyes. Both of these are based on the main Inklings often featured in promos.
• In Splatoon 2, one of the Inklings and Octolings corresponds to the recent Inkling and Octoling the player had, while the remaining assume their default look. The default Inklings and Octolings have both girls in the middle skin tone and orange eyes, while boys have third lightest skin tone and blue eyes. The hairstyles and looks are also based on the main Inklings and Octolings featured in promos.
• In Splatoon 2, all character options will have different animations for each section of options, such as the character looking down for the legwear options or hunching over when picking an eye color.
