Octoling: Difference between revisions
(forgot to clarify console of origin) |
(Added console origin of playable Octolings (Nintendo Switch) and clarified that their Splatoon 2 appearance applies to both enemy and playable Octolings. For their homeworld, linked to Octarian domes since it encompasses both Octo Valley (Sploon 1) and Octo Canyon (2) and Agent 8 (from Sploon 2: Octo Expansion DLC) was kidnapped into Deepsea Metro rather than originating from it.) |

Octoling (enemy: タコゾネス, Takozones[1]; playable: タコ, Octopus) is an enemy and species of player character in the Splatoon universe.
Origin
Octolings are the Octarian equivalent to Inklings.
Some female Octolings serve the Octarian army as elite soldiers. Those soldiers are encountered as enemies in single-player modes of Splatoon and Splatoon 2.
The Octo Expansion DLC of Splatoon 2 introduces playable Octolings who look significantly different from the Octarian soldier ones and could be unlocked for multiplayer upon beating the DLC. However, despite the player controlling an Octoling in the DLC, Octarian soldier Octolings still appear as enemies, albeit "sanitized" (brainwashed by the Kamabo Corporation). Octolings were also temporarily playable in multiplayer without the DLC for players who chose Team Octopus in the Squid vs. Octopus Splatfest.
Though this cannot happen in-game, lore-wise a Splatoon 2 Anniversary Famitsu interview reveals that only several female playable Octolings can become the aforementioned elite Octarian soldiers.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As a costume
Octoling appears as a Mii Fighter hat as part of Round 11 of Ultimate. The design is based on the enemy Octolings encountered in the single-player campaigns.
