Spreaders are a mechanic in Octo Valley in Splatoon, and Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, and Shifty Station in Splatoon 2.

Description

Spreaders cover the area around them in Octarian ink as they rotate or move horizontally across a surface. They never run out and cannot be destroyed, but their tops can be inked and stood on by the player. The missions Spreader Splatfest and Spinning Spreaders make heavy use of Spreaders, some of which are ridden by Octarians or have Balloon Fishes on them.

There is no way to take damage from Spreaders. Spreaders behave like Pinwheels, but Spreaders leave an ink trail behind them, while Pinwheels do not.
