'''Inkling''' ({{ja|インクリング|Inkuringu}}, ''Inkling'') is the species of player characters from the {{uv|Splatoon}} universe. | |||
==Species description== | |||
[[File:GreenInklingSquid.png|thumb|left|150px|A green team Inkling in squid form in ''Splatoon''.]] | |||
Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, which act as the players' avatars in ''Splatoon'' and ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'' (the latter of which also allows players to choose {{iw|inkipedia|Octoling|playable}}s if they have purchased and completed the {{s|inkipedia|Octo Expansion}} DLC). {{s|inkipedia|Turf War}} battles between teams of Inklings involve using a variety of weapons to cover the map with their team's colored ink - which they can swim in while in squid form - while disrupting the other team's attempt to do the same within the time limit of three minutes. Inklings are also very fashionable, as they can be seen wearing different outfits as well as sporting different hairstyles (though hairstyle options are only available in ''Splatoon 2''). Inklings are also colored based on ink battle teams from classic ''Splatoon''. | |||
The Inkling Outfit/Wig being orange for female Mii Gunners and blue for male Mii Gunners is a reference to the two most prominent Inklings in promotional art (including ''Splatoon''{{'}}s [[inkipedia:File:Boxart.jpg|cover]]), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling. These two designs are also the basis of the original Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl {{s|inkipedia|amiibo}} designs. The pose used for the Inkling trophy in ''SSB4'' also matches the Inkling Girl amiibo. The Inkling Squid Hat, resembling an Inkling's squid form, appears to reference the design used for the original Inkling Squid amiibo, which is also green and in squid form. | |||
[[File: | |||
Inklings | As stated before, Inklings can transform into a squid during certain scenarios. In ''Ultimate'', some of the Inklings' moveset and actions allow them to change into their squid form, including their dash, grab, and [[Super Jump]]. Squids most often use their squid legs to produce ink, as using Super Jump inks opponents. Inklings value their ink so much because they [[Inkling (SSBU)|dissolve in water]], a trait that is also carried over into ''Ultimate''. if [[Kirby]] swallows inkling, he'll gain inkling ink, but in the color of the classical girl variant of inkling. | ||

The Inklings, in female and male variations, are playable as unlockable newcomers in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. The initial teaser trailer for ''Ultimate'', before its title was revealed, featured the default female and male Inklings in their designs from the original ''Splatoon'', though they were not explicitly confirmed to be playable until Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation. | |||
