#splatoon salmonids

inspired somewhat by the tidbit of salmonid lore that says that the steelheads are the company commanders :))

hey do you think salmonids could learn how to speak inkling?

they probably know how to speak octarian because of the trade deal. (although the octarians might’ve just learned how to speak salmonid, the details are fuzzy)

how do you think a salmonid speaking inkling would sound like?

i’d like to hear your thoughts.

I’ve seen a lot of people say that Frye may secretly been a Salmonling, and I’d like to share my findings on this theory because I reallyyyyy like it.

So the biggest thing I noted is that Frye has highlights on her fingers and toes. Previously this was specific only to Octolings. It is possible that she is half inkling and half octoling, but I remember hearing somewhere that it was confirmed that inkling and octoling hybrids aren’t possible (I couldn’t find anything about this when I researched again recently however, so I may be wrong).

Salmonids however, do have a slight hue shift on their noses seen in the picture below.

Secondly; it was mentioned that her pendant/chain looks different than that of a squid.

I don’t entirely understand this one? It looks pretty squid-like to me, but the 4 holes and the 3 tentacles at the bottom do look slightly off, so I can entertain that theory. Although Salmonid flippers/fins don’t resemble those shapes either, so I don’t see how that really has anything to do with it.

Thirdly; it was mentioned that she has no visible suction cups on her “tentacles”.

I don’t know what this means realistically, but I really do like this point. If she is an Inkling/Octoling, it’s very possible that she was suction cups that just aren’t visible do to the way she’s styled her hair, but if she didn’t have any because salmonid’s don’t, that would also make a lot of sense.

Fourth; in Deep Cut’s song “Anarchy Rainbow”, there is a section that resembles the Grizzco jingle from salmon run. I think this is the biggest piece of evidence in support of this theory, but I could also be do to the increased focus on chaos in the overall story for Splatoon 3, and Salmonids are the greatest form of chaos currently known to Inkopolis.

The fifth point I have is actually in opposition of this theory, and it’s that Frye has incredibly sharp teeth, whereas salmonids have flat, rounded teeth.

A friend of mine pointed out that just because Inklings and Octolings can’t breed, it doesn’t mean that Inklings and Salmonlings can’t breed. Even though this doesn’t have much credence, I admittedly love this point.

So in conclusion to everything I’ve found, if Frye is anything other than an Inkling, it’s possible that she is a salmonling in disguise, or even a half inkling half salmonling.

What do you all thing? I really want to hear what your theories and things you’ve noticed are!

(Also please be nice lol, I’m new to theory crafting)
