Salmon is lore officianado here. Wanted to point out a few things you seemed to have missed or gotten wrong. Just want to spread more knowledge about these little goobers! -Fish Sticks are directly relate to Stingers. As stated in the Employee Manuel, they are Stingers in training, working to improve their lung capacity in order to operate the powerful face-mounted laser used by Stingers. -As far as we know, all Salmonid are the same species. Instances of specific species being referenced in Salmonid names don’t exist in the original Japanese version. Steelheads are just called “Bomb” and Chinooks are just called “Salmon ‘Copter”. Maws’ color is quite strange, though I doubt their Japanese name of “Mole” has anything to do with that. -We do have some information regarding Smallfry and their transformation into Hugefry, albeit mainly in Japanese sources. According to one of the Sunken Scroll’s Japanese text, Smallfry is a “keiji”, a phenomena which refers to smallfry that are separated from their schools during Big Runs. These keiji Salmonid have notorious hungers and are capable of turning into a Hugefry, for reason unclear. This is actually a reference to a real world phenomena regarding salmon. A keiji salmon refers to a baby salmon born in Russian waters that gets mixed up during migration and end up in Japanese waters. These keiji salmon are very rare and very expensive due to supposedly having fattier meat.
I meant to mention the first part!! As for the maws and steelhead situation, for at least the steelheads and big shots, they are both directly confirmed to be rainbow trout (note that their names in both languages have nothing to do with this) maws is also said somewhere to be an eel, but i dont think this is true as it pretty much resembles a salmon. Thanks for your input though!!
@@sove4503 Glad to help out, though I must ask you something. Where are Steelhead and Big Shots confirmed to be rainbow trout, aside from their English name? I assumed you were pulling from the fact that there is a rainbow trout in real life called a Steelhead, but now I'm genuinely curious.
@@chaoticdumbasspan5571 i actually made a mistake the English name does say it's a rainbow trout, but it's implied this is the case also due to big shots being designated a different species as well (the same as steelheads) and due to how salmonids work this wouldn't really make sense if they were normal salmon, my fault
@@sove4503 As far as I can tell the Salmonid Field Guide simply calls Steelhead and Big Shot "muscle-bound Salmonid". Is there something in the Japanese version I'm simply unaware of?
I'm not the best at researching, and I'm limited to the English side of research... But I have *never* seen or heard anything confirming them to be trout aside from the references in their English names. The idea that they have been "confirmed" as trout is probably something this person or a friend of theirs heard once and took it at face value.@@chaoticdumbasspan5571
That isn’t a bad idea. I’ve heard that Salmonids develop into large forms by surviving hardships. And the Splatlands are as harsh as it gets around Inkadia and nearby places. The only question is, when and how would a Salmonid stay there long enough for that when their territory is further away?
@@Alky64 they have weird names. On the Timpani is "The Valiant Green Flame Born in Jigokudani" The D.J. "The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon King Hizunamasu" (some translations say Emperor some say King. This is the reference to salmon kings I was referring to, as a true king implies false kings) And the Cellist and leader "The Firstborn Child of Alkyne, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas"
I don't think it's weird that only the salmon mutated since the other anthro aquatic animals we see in-universe can't even enter water, while the Salmonids literally live there, so I think it makes sense that genetic damage (or i guess enhancements in this case?) would only happen to the creatures who are always in the radioactive water
This makes me wonder if they have cities and stuff in all the polluted water! I wonder what they do when they're not doing Salmon Runs. Im also curious about their connections to the Octarian army, considering they do trading.
@@sove4503 At this point he's probably Just bear organ and bones covered in bear shaped Ooze, He literally had no flesh Or muscle Under the wounds smallfry causes during the bossfight.
@@cainhurst7546 Yeah they wouldn't, But Also, What i meant Is that pretty much Grizz Is Just a bear skeleton covered in ooze Probably, There's Even concept art of it!
I think that the king salmonids are the ones that hatch from golden eggs, that's why the salmonids care so much about them, but the ones that hatch from these eggs not always become Kings (as an example, there is a huge similarity with megalodontia and maws, this may prove that maws didn't have the training/life condition or are simply too young to become a king salmonid) Oh and the goldies probably do not serve any purpose to the battlefield, because they only come out during the night and most importantly, only in certain nights, when there is the fog (the goldie needs to give oxygen to the eggs she carries, and the fog is the safest enviorment given the low visibility, even other fish species do so, like the mudskipper) when there is the rush (they didn't have any training since their purpose is just laying eggs, they get lured out of the water from the glowflies) and during the sewer nights (when they just hide in the sewers, where they probably take care of their eggs, they also get defended by the lessers hidden in the sewers with them)
(you could probably could use some more SR gameplay if you have a capturecard) Another thing to note that the sunken scroll for our smallfry has a few things omitted from the japanese text. Being that sometimes in a school of 10,000 salmonids will have a rare 'rogue' smallfry that usually ends up separated from its school during a big run. As for Hugefry, irl salmons do go through metamorphosis during a salmon run and calamari inkantation is a weird song with mystical properties as we seen when agent 8 and Marina leave the octarians cause of it but otherwise, I'm not sure what exactly causes smallfry to evolve so to speak.
I actually do have a capture card! Making this video was a rush though because I had free adobe premiere from my school and it ran out the day I made this, I had about 2 hours lol Next time I make a Splatoon video I'll use real gameplay
There is another way: The capture button on the left Joy-con. Pressing it for 1s records the last 30s of gameplay to a video file - less time if the last clip was taken less than 30s ago. It's possible to just spam it every 20-ish seconds or so, then line up all those clips in order in an editor. There's a noticeable one or two frame cut between each clip most of the time when lined up this way but better than nothin
Yeah, the fact that lesser salmonids use pans and kitchen utensils to attack you ruined my headcannon that Inklings/Octings use ink-based weaponry because conventional weapons wouldn't affect them.
Well he was probably trying to simplify and make it easier to understand that Salmonids are more humane having their own cultures and complex thoughts rather than being animalistic or just pets
isnt it a thing that specials are powered by excitement, so isnt it reasonable that smallfry did they same, from sonme combination of being domesticated by an inkling or perhaps its natural for salmon as well

Finally, someone else who read the employee manual :D
Hold on ?
*Goes to read it*
I read the manual one time because I was bored as hell
I read it too! :D
nurds
Hey if i am gonna work here i better see more information about it :D
it's so interesting that salmonids have their own culture and tribes
I thought I knew a lot about the Salmonids but tbh I had no idea about their extreme ideology of "Eat or be eaten", a little morbid ngl
goldies also appear during fog waves in splatoon 3, sometimes but usually only once or twice a wave
Fun fact: Calamari Inkantation is Little Buddy's favorite song! Sometimes He even sings it while in the plaza
i actually didnt think salmonids wanted to be cooked and eaten 💀
Im just retack thus here: I like to think king salmonids are the result of salmonids living in the splatland's harsh landscape
That isn’t a bad idea. I’ve heard that Salmonids develop into large forms by surviving hardships. And the Splatlands are as harsh as it gets around Inkadia and nearby places.
The only question is, when and how would a Salmonid stay there long enough for that when their territory is further away?
The names of the salmon in omega - 3 hinted at the existence of multiple salmon kings as far back as splatoon 2
What’re the names?
@@Alky64 they have weird names.
On the Timpani is "The Valiant Green Flame Born in Jigokudani"
The D.J. "The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon King Hizunamasu" (some translations say Emperor some say King. This is the reference to salmon kings I was referring to, as a true king implies false kings)
And the Cellist and leader "The Firstborn Child of Alkyne, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas"

Real
This makes me wonder if they have cities and stuff in all the polluted water! I wonder what they do when they're not doing Salmon Runs.
Im also curious about their connections to the Octarian army, considering they do trading.
In the salmonid field guide in the fish stick section one of the notes states that some of them are promoted to become stingers 3:58
1:16 Grizz isn’t made of ink. He’s the last non-domestic mammal.
He made himself into the ooze, he is very clearly not a full bear anymore lol. Plus he can immerse himself into the ooze fully like an inkfish can
@@sove4503 At this point he's probably Just bear organ and bones covered in bear shaped Ooze, He literally had no flesh Or muscle Under the wounds smallfry causes during the bossfight.
@@urielgonzalez2882tbf would Nintendo really show muscle and tendons in a cartoon game
@@cainhurst7546 Yeah they wouldn't, But Also, What i meant Is that pretty much Grizz Is Just a bear skeleton covered in ooze Probably, There's Even concept art of it!
@@urielgonzalez2882 you said with organs, but yeah I think he’s just a bear with some ooze infecting his system and not a hallowed out shell
I think that the king salmonids are the ones that hatch from golden eggs, that's why the salmonids care so much about them, but the ones that hatch from these eggs not always become Kings (as an example, there is a huge similarity with megalodontia and maws, this may prove that maws didn't have the training/life condition or are simply too young to become a king salmonid)
Oh and the goldies probably do not serve any purpose to the battlefield, because they only come out during the night and most importantly, only in certain nights, when there is the fog (the goldie needs to give oxygen to the eggs she carries, and the fog is the safest enviorment given the low visibility, even other fish species do so, like the mudskipper) when there is the rush (they didn't have any training since their purpose is just laying eggs, they get lured out of the water from the glowflies) and during the sewer nights (when they just hide in the sewers, where they probably take care of their eggs, they also get defended by the lessers hidden in the sewers with them)
Btw this showed me a lot of new stuff about the salmonids that I dident know
this was a really well put together video :D i actually learned a lot of things i didnt know before :3c thank you
I personally think that hugefry isn’t actually a type of salmonid and that he’s mutating because he’s IN SPACE
well he is a salmonid he's just not a specific one
Truly amazing lore video, loved to watch stuff like this while playing salmon run
this was a great video and I learned so much!! thank you!!
AUGUGH thank u,,, comments like this make me wanna keep doing this lol
(you could probably could use some more SR gameplay if you have a capturecard)
Another thing to note that the sunken scroll for our smallfry has a few things omitted from the japanese text. Being that sometimes in a school of 10,000 salmonids will have a rare 'rogue' smallfry that usually ends up separated from its school during a big run.

you did good for having a two hour-ish limit, it was fun watch.

ACCCIIIID!!!
Thats splatoon lore of any kind. At least the official lore is.
As someone who loves/studies marine biology and studys salmons I have an urge to write out my findings from my studies that relate to salmon run xD
how is this both the most and least professional video i’ve ever seen
because I'm Him.
Wait, the Mudmouths are “lessers”? That has to be a mistake.
by technicality *no* they arent lessers but *yes* they are regular salmonids. they're slightly larger chums :)
So, how can you tell the difference between rainbow trout and salmon? Is it the green vs. orange hair! Where did you get this info?
this info comes from the grizzco manual! theyre described as "musclebound salmonids!"
Your description of the salmonids doesn’t exclude them for being animals, we for example clasify as animals
Well he was probably trying to simplify and make it easier to understand that Salmonids are more humane having their own cultures and complex thoughts rather than being animalistic or just pets
samin...
Thank you🙂
