  • With Splatoon 3 receiving DLC expansions through the form of Inkopolis and especially Side Order, now is the perfect time to introduce new playable species. We have gotten this before with Octolings back in Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion. However, there are a ton of specie ideas within the Splatoon world and community that would make perfect inclusions in the foreseeable future. Expect another Splatoon 3 video soon.

      @@DecadoPrime if you think about it, captain cuttlefish doesnt resemble inklings or octolings. he has ears drooping down, his eyes are quite different, etc. which could hint to him being a cuttleling. Marie and callie could also be cuttlelings. There’s dialogue of them where it hints to that, with marie telling callie “squids have bones, remember?” once. also, they look similar to those two idols with the white and grey hair.

    Cuttlelings I still have high hopes for. The only ones we have are idols called “Cuttlefish Idol” that never made a physical appearance outside some album art. I like the idea of Salmonlings, I’m not sure how they would fit in the lore, like why aren’t they present the whole time? I would LOVE to see Sharklings and having some resentment towards Shiver’s shark-taming family (Made an OC based on that idea)
    When I saw “Harelings,” I immediately thought of the Sea bunnies. I actually made an OC based on the Yellow Sea bunny.

    Ok, so for the salmonlings, I’ve cooked up an impromptu story that they could have-
    So, since it’s known that a Salmonoid’s life experience impacts how they grow (aka if they become a boss or not), what if some salmonoids just decide that the whole “Being eaten is our true purpose and falling in battle is the most honerable way to go” thing going on with the current Salmonoid community just doesn’t sit right with them and they leave and make a society of their own similar to what the inklings or octolings made? They could adapt to a more human like form to better build a living environment and they lose access to swim in water but gain the access to swim in ink?

    Cuttlings, they would probably be like the younger siblings of the squid and octopus. I mean c'mon they're SO COOL. They hypnotize they're prey with basically a light show, they can change their color drastically. And can change the way their tentacles(?) And body are shaped. If we got them in the actual game, their hair might be shaped like thick seaweed, and personality wise, they could be more aggressive then inklings or octolings. But apart of their culture could be how they're more likely to be idols considering their "light show" hypnotized ability, they could have the potential to start out as villains who hypnotized their race using their ability, and now they're trying to take over the inklings and octolings, and actually invade the city. And theres a big event where you get to play WITH ACTUAL PLAYERS together in a Giant turf war match in splatsville. Idk I got carried away

    I would love to see further expansion and diversity among cephalopods in Splatoon. We know that Octopi and Squids descended into humanoid forms, so of course logically Nautiluses and Cuttlefish would do the same. With the spooky sci-fi lore and this focus on bringing back the past with the villains of Octo Expansion and Splatoon 3, it would also be cool to see races based on extinct cephalopods like Ammonites or Belemnites
    Another way to increase diversity that I’ve wanted since Octo Expansion was some sort of Subrace feature, where you could play as Inklings or Octolings based on specific types of squid or octopus. Picture a Mimic, Blue-Ring, Giant, or Argonaut Octoling. Or a Firefly, Flying, Colossal, or Scaled Inkling. Even as just cosmetic options these would be so cool.

It looked like eels so I decided to make a concept of an eeling, though it’s not finished, we might get eelings or sharklings and more.

  • @octokraken6359

    It’s so cool to think about a new species for the series, I think the best bet for a new species is definitely either Cuttlings or a Hybrid of Inklings and Octolings. In the Side Order trailer there is a moment in the trailer we see an Octoling girl with Inkling ears and no suction cups on the hair, we also see in the trailer lots of hints to cloning, so potentially we could get half inkling and half octoling clones introduced in Side Order.

    The vampirplings are good, but there was a version by Owliminati that was just awesome. That said, Nintendo should make sub-species of the Inklings and Octolings. They could even add particular traits and abilities to them. For example, you, could have blue-ringed octolings that do poison damage, a mimic octoling that can camouflage themselves, or flying inklings that can jump higher and use a glide. Would defiantly change the game forever.

    To be honest... with the increasing number of signs pointing towards that Humans might have somehow survived, I'd like to see them somehow as a playable species.
    I know that sounds odd, but I'd like to explore the reason why things got so out of control and how they managed to survive by the skin of their teeth and become the only major mammal species left. I'd love to see how Humans and Inklings would interact given they share a LOT of things in them. It'd also be neat if they allowed Humans to swim in water since they have the ability to swim where everyone else doesn't.
    I think they could even be adapted into multiplayer with some sort of super high tech ball form. Starbound has this feature as a tech and maybe it could be a way to allow Humans to have their own form to shift into despite having bones.

    I’m not sure how salmonlings are generally considered the least likely to get added, when imo they feel like they would be number 1 on the list.
    The other species ideas are so good, don’t get me wrong, but they feel out of left field to me. None of these species have been hinted at, other than possible cuttlefish plushies in hagglefish
    Meanwhile salmonids are one of the core 3 species, salmon run has gotten a lot of attention in splat3 so far, the existence of little buddy, it makes the most sense thematically to add salmonlings.

    A bit late to the party, but I would love to see Ammonites added as a playable species. Ammolings would be like a failed experiment that tried to revive extinct animal, but instead created a new people that lived hidden in labs and abandonned places. You could even have a villain trying to dispose of them, and you (the protag) must stop them.

    maybe I’m just biased considering what real world culture they’re based on, but I love the idea of salmonlings and I’d absolutely love to play as one. I’d also just like to see an expansion focused on the salmonids in general. they could even preemptively introduce the concept of salmonlings by making them king salmonids in Salmon Run. but two potential problems with adding salmonlings as a playable species would be the ethics of playing as them in Salmon Run and the fact that salmonids can survive in water unlike inklings and octolings. I think they could probably make some sort of explanation for all that if they really wanted to though.

    these are good ideas! however:
    - cuttlefish are very similar to squid (considered squids in japan!) but, to be honest there might be inklings in splatoon lore that resemble cuttlefish
    - salmonids are actually another sentient species in splatoon, seperate to octolings and inklings... so it would most likely have to be an inkling-salmonid hybrid... which, uh... you know.
    - and some of the other species shown here, in real life, don't produce ink, but in that case, they would have to use advanced technology to allow these 'species' to play in turf wars, and other ink-based sports! so i guess some of these can happen!
