Whirling Accelerandos are Jelleton enemies in Splatoon 3: Side Order. When it sees the player, it charges up, and rotates violently towards their direction.

Appearance

The Whirling Accelerando somewhat resembles a spinning top. They could be based off wheel animalcules, judging by their mouthparts and association with spinning.

Strategy

• Whirling Accelerandos can only be damaged when their weak spot, the head, sticks out. It is invulnerable while it is spinning.
• After defeating one, it leaves behind a top that the player can walk into to propel it forwards. This then inks the ground and deals damage to enemies.

Habitat: Walled-off areas

(1)	Their heads are their weak spot. Wait until it pokes out before you shoot. Until then, while they're spinning around...hope you're light on your feet.
(30)	When you defeat one, it leaves the shell behind. They make great weapons! Just touch one, and it'll slam into enemies and ink a path for you as it goes!
(150)	So we can splat 'em to turn the tables, huh? You know what to do, Eight. Take these out, and make its friends regret it ever showed its sorry face!
Conclusion Primo targets to use as weapons!
