Shelly and Donny are the weapons dealers for Ammo Knights in Inkopolis Plaza and Inkopolis Square in Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass.

When Wave 1 of Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass was released, Shelly and Donny ran the Ammo Knights in Inkopolis Plaza together. Following the release of Side Order, regardless of whether the player has completed it or not, Donny has moved to the Ammo Knights of Inkopolis Square, leaving Shelly to run the Inkopolis Plaza branch alone.

Appearance

Shelly and Donny resemble Sheldon, but are noticeably smaller and more infantile-looking. Notably, their shells are partially translucent, and as Triops, their tails are forked. They have large, round, conjoined eyes, and wear yellow scout uniforms.

Personality and traits

Shelly and Donny are said to look up to Sheldon and seem to behave rather similarly to him, with the majority of Shelly's dialogue being direct or near-direct quotes of Sheldon's dialogue. Both of them seem to have some degree of speech impediments, with Shelly occasionally struggling to pronounce words, and Donny consistently speaking with rhotacism and lambdacism (meaning a difficulty pronouncing "R" and "L" sounds, respectively). These speech impediments are likely due to the fact that they are young children. Shelly is the more talkative of the two, being the one to deliver most of their shop dialogue, with Donny only chiming in occasionally after Shelly says something.

While their shop dialogue in English is mostly the same as or derivative of Sheldon's, Shelly does have unique dialogue as an opponent in the Tableturf Battle Dojo, showing a cheerful and somewhat excitable personality. Donny does not speak in the Tableturf Battle Dojo, but does stand next to Shelly, apparently watching the game.

Shelly and Donny are similar to Timmy and Tommy from the Animal Crossing series, both being duos of visually identical children who are shopkeepers and apprentices of an older shopkeeper character that they resemble. Shelly and Donny's names are also based on Timmy and Tommy's names.

When a player below level 2 enters the shop:	Shelly: "Hello, he— Oh my. Is that truly the only weapon in your puzz-ess-shun? I would love to talk your tentacles off about the stuff I've got in stock. But I'm not sure you can handle the sheer fire...firepower at lowly level 1. Listen. I've got a plan. And it will work. Go to the lobby and play some Regular Battles. Get to...let's say... level 2. Then come back and see me!"	Donny: "Good wuck!"
When a player of level 2 or above enters the shop for the first time:	Shelly: "Hello, hello! Let me guess—you're looking for some new weapons? You've come to...to the right place! Our weapons come in sets— a main weapon on , a sub weapon on , and...oh yeah! A special weapon! Sound...com-pluh-kay-ted? Don't fret! You can always press to try out our products before buying. You can get our store's weapons in... in exchange for Sheldon Licenses! You can get Sheldon Licenses by battling and...leveling up! Or by using a weapon a lot!"	Donny: "Get wicenses."
When a player of level 2 or above with data from Splatoon 2 transferred enters the shop for the first time:	Shelly: "Hello, hello! Let me guess—you're looking for some new weapons? You've come to...to the right place! Wuh-woh... What is THAT?! I didn't know you were a collector of vint-uj weapons! It's fas-sin-nate-ing, but you'll need something far fresher. Of...of course, before you walk out of here with something shiny and new, you'll, uh...you'll need the correct Sheldon License, yes? And you can get Sheldon Licenses by battling and...and leveling up. Or even just developing your skills by using a part-ick-yular weapon a lot. AH! You surprised me yet again. You already have at least one...one Gold Sheldon License?! You ARE a true collector! In that case, I'm pleased to inform you that...that you can unlock a larger selection than usual. Right off the bat. Con-gratoo-lashuns!"	Donny: "Unwock dem."
When entering the shop without an internet connection:	Shelly: "Hello, he— Oh... You seem to be offline. Come back when you're cuh-neck-ted to the internet. You can get connected by...by visiting the lobby!"	Donny: "The wobby!"

When selecting a weapon at or below a player's level:	Shelly: "Get this one?"
When selecting a weapon at or below a player's level with Golden Sheldon Licenses:	Shelly: "Oh, this is un-for-tuna. You don't have any Sheldon Licenses right now. You do have 1 Gold Sheldon License. And I can accept that. But... It seems like it would be a waste. Are you sure you want to use your Gold Sheldon License on that?"
When hovering over a weapon above a player's level:	Shelly: "Price: 1 @ Lv. <number>"

After a weapon is bought:	Shelly: "Equip it?"
After the player is offered to equip the weapon:	Shelly: "Thank you! I know you'll give it a good home. Remember. You can equip new weapons in the Equip menu."	Donny: "Tank you!"
When the weapon was bought with Golden Sheldon Licenses:	Shelly: "Wondering how many Gold Sheldon Licenses you still have? Let me just look it up... Ah! You have <number> left."	Donny: "Dat many weft."

When purchasing last weapon available:	Shelly: "Wow! You've man-a...man-idge... You got all the weapons! Congratulations, fellow artillery en-thooos-ist!

When deciding to test a weapon:	Shelly: "Give it a whirl?"
When entering the shop after the release of Side Order:	Shelly: "Huh? You wanna know where Donny went? Don's gone. He's running another lo...lo-cay-shun somewhere else. But don't worry! I can take care of whatever you need aaall by myself!"

When a player below level 2 enters the shop:	Krabbie: "Hallo, ha... O, jee. Is... Is dat echt het enige wapen dat u heeft? Ik wil u heel graag alles vertellen over al de leuke dingetjes die hier in de winkel liggen, maar, eh... ik weet niet of u dat wel snapt, op niveau 1... Maar wat ik u wel kan vertellen: ga naar de lobby en speel wat standaardgevechten. Tot u op niveau 2 zit! Gelukkig duurt dat meestal niet zo lang!" (Hello, he... Oh, gee. Is... Is that really the only weapon you have? I'd love to tell you all about all the fun little things that are here in the store, but, um... I don't know if you'll get it, on level 1...

Maar voor u zo'n mooi, nieuw wapen mag meenemen, moet u wel de juiste Krabbert-vergunnie hebben, oké? U krijgt Krabbert-vergunnie... nings... door te vechten en uw niveau te verbeteren. Of door zo vaak met een wapen te vechten dat u daar heel goed mee bent. Oho! Sorry, dat had ik niet gezien! U heeft al een heuse gouden Krabbert-vergunnie op zak! U bent een echte kenner! In dat geval heeft u meteen veel meer keuze! Kijk eens hoeveel wapens we u dan kunnen laten zien! Gefele... feliesie... Goed hoor!" (Hello, hello! Oh! You must be looking for something.

But before you are allowed to take such a beautiful, new weapon with you, you must have the right Sheldon Licensie, okay? You will get Sheldon Licensie... censes... by battling and improving your level. Or by battling using a weapon so often that you become very good with it. Oho! Sorry, I hadn't seen that!

After the player is offered to equip the weapon:	Krabbie: "Geweldig! Wees er lief voor, oké! Vergeet niet om het te kiezen in het menu UITRUSTING, anders kunt u het niet gebruiken." (Awesome! Be kind to it, okay! Remember to choose it in the menu GEAR, otherwise you won't be able to use it.)	Bertje: "Gewelwig!" (Awesome!)

When selecting an already-owned weapon:	Krabbie: "Dat wapen is leuk, hé? Maar het is zo leuk, dat u er al eentje van heeft, geloof ik?" (That weapon is nice, eh? But it's so nice, you already have one of those, I believe?)	Bertje: "Hewt u al." (You aweady have.)
When attempting to buy a weapon without Sheldon Licences:	Krabbie: "Maar u heeft helemaal niet van die mooie Krabbert-vergunnie... ningens! Krabbert werkt heel hard aan zijn spullen, hoor! Die mogen we niet zomaar weggeven!" (But you don't have any of those beautiful Sheldon Licensie... censies at all! Sheldon works very hard on his stuff, mind you! We aren't allowed to just give them away!)	Bertje: "Sowwy..." (Sowwy...)
When purchasing last weapon available:	Krabbie: "Wauw, u heeft de hele col... collec.. U heeft alle wapens! Gefeliciteerd, mede-wapen-enthoe... eh... fanaat!

Congratulations, co-weapon-enthu... uh... fanatic! If, like me, you have far too many Sheldon Licencies, you can exchange them for Shell-Out Tokies at the Shell-Out Machine in the lobby!)

But don't you worry! I can help you very well without Donny too!)
