Chums are a type of Lesser Salmonid found in Salmon Run in Splatoon 2 and Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3.

Description

Chums are the most common form of Salmonid, and use a frying pan to attack players. They are not very tough individually, but they can pose a threat in large numbers or against Inklings and Octolings that are not paying attention to their surroundings. During a Rush, Chums become very fast and deadly, and they come in huge numbers.

Quotes

The following text is quoted from the Salmonid Field Guide.

Basic Information
  • They tend to appear in groups rather than alone.
  • Defeating them will earn you Power Eggs.
Attack Behavior
  • They use their sense of smell to locate and close in on targets who have entered their territory.
  • Once they close in on a target, they perform close-range attacks using frying pans or other cookware.
Elimination
  • They can be neutralized relatively easily with a direct hit of ink.
Supporting Information
  • They inhabit a restricted ocean zone, and any unauthorized contact with them is expressly forbidden by law.
  • On their own, they don't pose a significant threat, but ignore them and you may quickly find yourself surrounded.

Trivia

  • Chums, along with other Lesser Salmonids, are able to jump to unlimited heights when they are chasing a player in an unreachable location.
    • When jumping, Lesser Salmonids flail their arms and tail fin around like a real salmon does when leaping out of the water.

Chum is a type of meat that fishers use to attract sharks, and is also a species of salmon.
