Balloon Fish

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
A Balloon Fish.

Balloon Fish, written as balloon fish in Splatoon 3, are a gameplay mechanic in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, Return of the Mammalians, and Side Order.

Description

The Balloon Fish are white balloons modeled after pufferfish. They have a round appearance, small fins, and ability to expand, much like real pufferfish. They have a small splatter of the player's current ink color on the top and a small, similarly colored Ammo Knights logo on the bottom. Two tiny white dots in the ink above the balloon's tie give the impression of eyes and a mouth.

Balloon Fish are found anchored in place on surfaces and can only be popped by ink matching the color painted on top of them. Upon being hit, the balloon will expand and explode in the player's ink, heavily damaging anything within range. They quickly and infinitely regenerate for repeated use.
