Appearance

The Squinja Mask is an all-black shozoku headpiece with a metallic eye guard. The color of the eye guard changes to match the wearer's ink.

The Mk I variant only exposes the wearer's eyes and a small space between them, while the Mk II variant removes the lower face covering and the back part is larger.

In Splatoon 2, both variants are unnamed and the Mk I variant is applied for boys, while the Mk II variant is applied for girls. In Splatoon 3, both variants are available as separate pieces of gear and can be worn regardless of the wearer's style.
