== Overview ==
Octolings are similar to Inklings being in a humanoid shape, but can transform into a octopus and swim through ink. They use weapons to cover opponents in ink. It's normal for all Inklings and Octolings to compete in Turf War and splat each other. Every so often they'll debate in Splatfests about stuff and will party. While they used to be at war with the Inklings they have resolved the it, well some of them.
===The Ink Meter===
Octoling has a limit to their attacks that consume ink. They each consume different amounts of ink. To replenish ink Octoling must be KO'd or by pressing shield and the special button Octoling will transform into an octopus and will regenerate ink fast. Ink also regenerates overtime.
===How to Unlock===
*Complete Classic Mode with Inkling.
*Play 50 VS Matches.
