Official Description[]
In the game Splatoon, the main characters, Inklings, can instantly transform into squids! We’re not sure what marvel of anatomy allows them to perform this majestic feat, but it sure is sweet. In squid form, Inklings can swim in any surface they’ve splattered with ink, even up walls! They can also hide from opponents by submerging in ink and keeping still. How cool is that?
Compatibility[]
The Splatoon series Inkling Squid amiibo figure is supported in games which are compatible with all amiibo. However, only the games listed here have functionality specific to this amiibo. As Inkling Squid is a variant of Inkling, games listed that don't have specific functionality for this character will instead recognise this amiibo as a Inkling amiibo.
