Splatoon urchin underpass4/20/2023 His single eye might reference the fact that some studies show some urchins entire body can act as a compound eye and his eye color might reflect the few venomous species of sea urchins. That makes sense because Urchins eat a lot of the soft bodied sea life on the sea floor. He also has a screwdriver next to him as well as empty Super Sea Snail Shells and a few living ones that quiver in his presence. Obviously his name is a reference to an urchin's spiny exterior, but whats more interesting is he is literally a Street Urchin. Sheldon: Shell as well as possibly Shield and Weap on or just the common name 'Sheldon.'.Octoballs: Without a doubt these lil guys are inspired by Takoyaki,.Mint Tea? Or it could be an honestly not intended. Mint Tee: This mint colored t-Shirt is definitely Minty.Kraken- A legendary sea monster most likely inspired by the giant squid carcasses found at sea.It is also a reference to a ' Wail' which is a loud screeching sound.

Echolocator: a mix of 'Echolocation' and 'locator.' Some sea life uses echolocation to "see" the environment based off how long and where sound is echoing from.Shrimps and prawns are one of the most common things served in Tempura. Crusty Sean: Crustacean, A group within the phylum for Anthropods which includes the likes of shrimps, lobsters, and even pill bugs (you may know them as Rollie Pollies or wood lice.) His design is definitely a nod to Tempura which is Japanese dish of battered veggies and meats that are fried.In Japanese their Band name is based on the words for 'Squid Stew' and the English word for 'color' and the sisters themselves are both named after species of squid. The Squid Sisters Callie & Marie: Calamari, which is a fried squid or octopi dish.Booyah Base could reference bouillabaisse, which is a fish stew, Shi buya, the shopping district that the Inkopolis Plaza draws inspiration from, as well as Booyah which is both slang and again another type of stew that is made in a kettle (Kettles play a big part in the hub world for the single player campaign.).Annie & Moe: Sea Anemone, stinging sea life that, as most of us know, clown fish aren't affected by and like to live among.Ammo Knights- Ammonite: This group of extinct tentacled creature was housed within a spiral shell (Think of the Nautilus, but a little different.)
