Inkling (インクリング, Inkling) is the species of player characters from the Splatoon universe.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
Inklings are the basis for two paid downloadable content costumes. The female Inkling is also the basis of an upcoming trophy.
Costumes
The Inkling Outfit for Mii Gunners (with matching Inkling Wig headgear), and a standalone piece of headgear, the Inkling Squid Hat, will both be available as Downloadable Content. These outfits can be received via two different methods: a code for them is included in copies of Splatoon purchased from GameStop before June 13th, 2015. If the deadline is missed, the costumes can also be purchased from the eShop as DLC like other Mii Fighter costumes. The costumes are scheduled to be released on June 14th, 2015.
Origin
Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, and the species of players' avatars in Splatoon. Battles between teams of Inklings involve covering the map with their team's color of ink in humanoid form using a variety of weapons, which they can then swim in, while disrupting the other team's attempt to do the same.
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 cover), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling. These two designs are also the basis of the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl amiibo. The green Inkling Squid Hat, resembling an Inkling's squid form, appears to reference the design used for the Inkling Squid amiibo, which was also green and in squid form.
