Offical 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?
Trivia
- This was the first amiibo figure that is not available to purchase à la carte, as it is only available in the 3-Pack or the Splatoon bundle. However, it has always been available as a standalone in Japan, and Europe received some standalone figures.
