Judd (ジャッジくん, Mr. Judd) is a character in the Splatoon universe.
Origin[edit]
Judd is a cat who serves as the judge of online matches in the Splatoon series by signifying which team won by holding up a flag. He is notable for being the only land mammal alive in the Mollusc Era, and is revealed through various Sunken Scrolls to be over 10,000 years old, having survived the extinction of humanity thanks to his owner sealing him in a cryogenic capsule and injecting him with an immortality drug. Upon awakening, Judd began judging the Great Turf War and all subsequent Turf Wars.
In Splatoon 2, Li'l Judd was added to hold up the flag of the enemy team. It is revealed via Sunken Scroll that he was born from cloning technology included in Judd's capsule to prevent him from being alone. Various sources reveal that Li'l Judd seeks to usurp Judd's position as Turf War judge.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a background character[edit]
Judd appears in the background of Moray Towers, in which like in his home series he and Li'l Judd hold up flags based on who is currently winning. He and Li'l Judd dance when the Squid Sisters appear during the fight.
As a costume[edit]
Judd appears as the Judd Hat Headgear for the Mii Fighter as part of Round 11 of Ultimate.
In Judd's reveal trailer, the Mii representing Judd is shown jumping out of an oil drum on Wrecking Crew, referencing the blue crate Judd is often found sleeping on. The Mii is then shown fighting Incineroar on the Ω form of Tortimer Island, and punching away a blue Inkling while a green Inkling taunts on the Ω form of The Great Cave Offensive, referencing his role as the judge of Turf Wars. Finally, the Mii is shown lifting a Special Flag on Moray Towers, referencing the flags he uses.
Spirits[edit]
Judd also appears as a Legend-class support spirit.
Judd can be summoned using the cores of Judge, Meowth, one Neutral type, and one support type.
