Appearance

The Squid Clip-Ons are a pair of clip-on earrings worn on the bottom of both ears. The earrings resemble the "2" from the logo of Splatoon 2. The front layer of each earring is a bright pink color, while the back layer is a neon green color, both in a shiny texture, with a layer of white in between. The fasteners, which can be seen from the back, are a metallic gray.

In Splatoon 2 only, when worn by boys, there is only one earring, which is worn on the top of the left ear.

In Splatoon 3, when displayed in a locker, the two earrings are attached to a black arrow or squid-shaped plastic tag.

Abilities

The Squid Clip-Ons come with Opening Gambit as the primary ability, which, being exclusive to the main slot of Headgear, prevents the wearer from also having Comeback, Last-Ditch Effort, or Tenacity. As a 2-star item, the Squid Clip-Ons come with two additional slots for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail for each slot. Since they are made by the amiibo gear brand, they have equal chances to roll any secondary ability.
