Appearance

The Squidfin Hook Cans are a pair of black headphones that wrap around the ears and are connected around the back of the head. The earpieces themselves are a darker version of the wearer's ink color, with rims in a brighter color that glow in the dark. On each earpiece is Forge's name in white Inkling letters. The connecting band in the back has Forge's name again, but with the gun symbol from the logo in place of the "F".

Abilities

The Squidfin Hook Cans come with Ink Resistance Up 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 2-star item, the Squidfin Hook Cans 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 Forge gear brand, they have a higher chance of rolling Special Power Up and a lower chance of rolling Ink Saver (Sub) to fill their secondary ability slots.
