Skull is the final member of the S4, and is the leader of the Purple Team. He made his debut in the manga in Volume 2 Chapter 5.

## Appearance

Skull is a pale skinned inkling with the standard inkling boy haircut, the topknot. He wears the standard Inkling boy shorts with a purple stripe to represent his ink color. His tentacles are noted to stand upwards instead of downwards like other Inkling boys, however the remarkable feature that stands out about him is that he has no eyebrows. Skull stated himself that he was just born without them, however. His eyes have spiral like patterns in them, and his eyes rest in a somewhat agitated look, as he looks upset, unless he shows the expression of surprise. His emotion is also hard to tell, as his bandana covers both his nose and mouth. Although his ink color is purple to match his team's motif, he can change his color at will.

## Personality

Skull is shown to have a quiet and reserved personality. He doesn’t speak much around the other S4 members, or anyone else, and usually ends with “...” when replying to others or stating something. He speaks very monotonous, and is polite, unless he is insulting someone. He used to consider everyone below him as weaklings until he was defeated by Blue Team. Skull is also not a sore loser unlike some of his teammates in the S4, as he doesn’t insult others or get upset about losing; instead he trains more and says he has another opponent he would like to face again at a later time.

After being defeated by Team Blue, he seems to be getting careless as well, constantly getting lost, falling in the water, finding himself on top of high buildings looking for the weapon shop, but he has his intelligent moments as well. In the Inkling Almanac, he is told to have a major sweet tooth, implying he loves anything sweet\*. ( \*In the bonus chapter in Volume 3, he had a huge sundae with him and wanted no one to bother him while he ate it, but everyone else, so Goggles declared an eating contest, but 3 hours later, everyone was fat ( Team Blue, the S4 and Rider) and looked like bowling balls.) he also tends to forget that he already ate his ice cream or pudding by thinking someone else ate it.
