An Inkling and Octoling both operating their Sea-cucumber phones.

Sea-Cucumber Phones are a piece of equipment the player has in Splatoon 3 - they are flip-phones with a rounded shell and rounded spines on the outside of their screens, resembling those of a sea cucumber. All players seem to have them, although they are not usually seen. They can be used to listen to the Anarchy Splatcast in the background as an alternative to watching it, and players can be seen in Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza using them. When using the Sea-Cucumber Phone to listen to the broadcast in the background, the dialog is shown at the top left of the screen, implying that the player is using their phone to listen to it. Players can obtain a Sea-Cucumber Phone for their locker by purchasing it from Hotlantis for 85,850 coins or via the Shell-Out Machine.

In Side Order (as stated in the 11th entry of Marina's Dev Diaries), Marina realizes that the Sea-Cucumber Phones, which she was planning to use as entrypoints into her virtual reality "Project Memverse", have a security flaw that could be exploited to pull anyone into it losing their free will in the real world.
