Further separating them from the common Octolings are their darker hair and two long strands of seaweed attached to their heads. While normal Octolings have red hair and are fairly easy to defeat, later missions feature Elite Octolings instead, which are faster, more resilient, and deal more damage. Their hairstyle is also not available for playable Octolings. Compared to playable Octolings, they have a different octopus form, which has curlier tentacles of the same length and Octarian eyes. Like Inklings, Octolings have an octopus form, which they can use to swim or hide in ink, but can sometimes be seen using it on dry land. Octoling hair color seems unrelated to their ink, as they have their pre-set hair color regardless of the color set for the mission.Īs shown in art of the Octolings in The Art of Splatoon, their eye markings are the same as their playable counterparts, but with a purple tinge at the edge of their 'eyelashes', and they have green eyes, like the other Octarians (even in octopus form, as opposed to the Inklings' eyes, which are grey in squid form, despite the player's chosen eye color). These Octolings are considered elites compared to the playable Octolings, of which there are also male versions, and not every female Octoling can become a full-fledged soldier. All enemy Octolings encountered are female, their body features seem slightly more mature than female Inklings', though this is a result of their clothing, as the in-game model is the same. Like Inklings, they can walk on land in humanoid form as well as swim through their own Ink in octopus form, making up a somewhat small but dangerous portion of Octarian forces. ![]() Unlike Inklings, they have thicker and curlier hair, with four tentacles instead of six (added with their arms and legs this gives them eight "limbs", as opposed to Inklings' ten), have their suckers above their hair than underneath, beige undersides of their hair, small round ears, purple circled eyes with a dash on the end, pointed fingers, and no spots at the ends of their hair. Otosupasu comes from 落とす ( otosu, to take someone down), "octopus", and possibly 脅す ( odosu, to threaten, which may relate to its evolution method of Clobbopus needing to learn Taunt).Octolings are the Octarian equivalents of Inklings. Grapploct comes from the words "grapple", "locked", and "octopus". It may also reference Octopus Wrestling, a practice in which a diver wrestles an octopus and tries to bring it to the surface. Its Fighting type connection may have also been made due to octopuses ability to "punch" prey with their tentacles during hunts, usually as a form of stunning small prey such as fish. Concerning the cross-examinations of species, while Octillery emphasizes on an octopus's ability to fire ink, Grapploct appears to focus on how an octopus grabs its prey or predators with their tentacles and are able to snare themselves around prey and foes with their elasticity. Its species name also indicates it may be based on the fighting style of jujitsu. Grapploct appears to be based on an octopus and a luchador or boxer.
