Rolonium is a mechanic in Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, and Shifty Station in Splatoon 2. It is used by Octohurlers, Agent 4, and Agent 8.
Description
Rolonium resembles five inflatable tubes held together in a bundle. In single-player modes, they are tinted with the color of enemy Octarian ink, while in multiplayer, they are the neutral color of the current battle.
Use
Octohurlers spit out Rolonium bundles, which can be deflected by shooting at them. Rolonium can be aimed high or low and be launched at different angles, depending on the directions that it is shot at. They are also found on the ground and can be used to splat any enemies in its path, but can only be used once. However, in some places, there are Rolonium generators which refill once the player uses it, so the player can use the Rolonium as many times as they want.

Trivia
- As is seen in The Chronicles of Rolonium, the ink path created by Rolonium does not count for the player's point total during a Turf War match, but the burst of ink it creates once it hits a wall does. However, ink turfed by Rolonium does not count towards the player's special gauge under any circumstance.
- Rolonium can only be used against the Octo Shower when the player uses a short-ranged weapon (everything except the Hero Charger and Hero Splatling).
- In the Octo expansion, Pearl misheard Rolonium as “Baloney-Yum”.
