Li'l Devil Horns
The Li'l Devil Horns are headgear in the Splatoon series.
In Splatoon 2, they are a 3-star item produced by SquidForce and come with the primary ability Ink Saver (Sub).
They can be obtained by visiting the Splatoween news article on the Nintendo Switch news channel. They can also be purchased from SplatNet 2 Gear Shop for 
11,550.
In Splatoon 3, they are a 2-star item produced by SquidForce and come with the primary ability Ink Saver (Sub). They can be obtained by visiting the Splatoween news article on the Nintendo Switch news channel. They cannot be ordered from another player.
Appearance
The Li'l Devil Horns are a plastic headband with horns and a battery compartment behind the wearer's right ear and a smaller compartment between the two horns. The horns are lit up from the inside, making them glow in the dark.
The wearer will also have small gemstones on their face. In Splatoon 2, the placement and appearance of the gemstones change depending on gender: Inkling and Octoling girls have patches of many gems varying in size and color below both eyes, while boys wear two pairs of similarly sized blue gems, one pair below their left eye and the other above their left eyebrow. In Splatoon 3, instead, only the former option is applied to both styles.

Abilities
The Li'l Devil Horns come with Ink Saver (Sub) as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 2, they come with any other primary ability normally available to Headgear. As a 3-star item, the Li'l Devil Horns come with three additional slots for secondary abilities.

Trivia
- The Japanese name refers to sea slugs. As nudibranchs are suggested to exist in the world of Splatoon, Inklings and Octolings may wear the headband in reference to them instead of horned mammals, which are extinct.
- Based on their SplatNet 2 price, it can be deduced that the normal price of the Li'l Devil Horns would be
7,700 if they were purchasable from Headspace rather than obtained from the Nintendo Switch news channel.

Translation notes
- ↑ Referring to the horn-like rhinophores of sea slugs and other gastropods.
- ↑ Seems to have been confused with the translation of the Anglerfish Mask's name, probably due to both of them being released for the same event.
