Unlike her more expressive teammates, Splatsville maintains a quiet, dryly sarcastic, and straight-faced demeanor, rarely smiling.

Grizzco Industries: Splatsville is the shady, suspicious, and highly lucrative corporate facility that serves as the central hub for the high-stakes Salmon Run operations across the Inkopolis and Splatsville eras of the manga. Tucked away in a dark alleyway near the main plazas, Splatsville's background is rooted in its mysterious egg-harvesting operation, drawing in massive crowds of young competitors with the promise of rare gear and high-paying bonuses. Splatsville's personality is defined by an absolute, relentless corporate focus on speed, strict quotas, and intense manual labor, cultivating a frantic environment where workers are thrown into incredibly hazardous coastal zones to fight off swarms of aggressive Salmonids. Visually, Splatsville features a cramped, industrial aesthetic characterized by exposed wiring, stackable plastic crates, maritime safety equipment, and a prominent wooden bear-shaped radio holding a salmon in its mouth through which the founder barks orders. Operating as a frantic co-op battlefield, Splatsville serves as the grueling venue where Team Blue clocks in for dangerous night shifts, pushing their survival instincts and team synchronization to the absolute mechanical limit to gather valuable Golden Eggs.

ENEMIES

The Regular Octotroopers: Splatsville are the common, highly synchronized, and mechanically disciplined foot soldiers who serve as the standard frontline backbone of the Octarian army in the Splatoon manga. Stationed deep within the hidden underground domes, Splatsville's background is rooted in their long-running military conflict against the surface world, acting on strict orders from DJ Octavio to guard stolen power sources like the Great Zapfish from any trespassing Inklings. Splatsville's personality is characterized by a mix of frantic military obedience and a highly comical, easily startled nature; they move with absolute loyalty to their commanders, yet they frequently panic, bumble around, and break formation whenever Goggles surprises them with his bizarre, unpredictable battle antics. Visually, Splatsville features a bright maroon-colored, bulbous octopus mantle with two large, wide-eyed suction cups on the front that resemble an expressive face, topped with a small suction-cup snout that doubles as an ink nozzle. Operating from inside small, floating purple suction-cup machines, Splatsville maneuvers across the battlefield to block paths and launch rapid, rhythmic purple ink spheres at the protagonists, providing a classic, chaotic warm-up challenge for the members of Team Blue during their high-stakes underground rescue missions.

The Octoling Soldiers: Splatsville are the elite, highly trained, and fiercely aggressive female shock troops who serve as the special forces unit of the Octarian army in the Splatoon manga. Guarding the deepest sectors of the underground Octo Valley and Octo Canyon, Splatsville's background is rooted in strict military conditioning, having been brainwashed by DJ Octavio's hypnotic music and specialized hypnoshades to wage relentless war against the surface world. Splatsville's personality is defined by a serious, cold, and intensely focused warrior mindset; unlike the easily startled foot soldiers, they fight with ruthless tactical precision, though they can become deeply flustered and lose their strict composure when forced to deal with Goggles' completely absurd and unpredictable clothing pranks. Visually striking, Splatsville features fair skin, sharp eyes hidden behind high-tech tinted visors, and long, swirling magenta tentacles styled into an iconic, heavy ponytail that is often adorned with decorative seaweed seaweed to signify elite status. Dressed in a sleek, form-fitting black leather combat uniform with matching boots, Splatsville completely dominates the frontline by moving with blistering speed, executing flawless super jumps, and fiercely pressuring Team Blue on the battlefield by masterfully wielding rapid-fire Octo Shots and throwing lethal Splat Bombs.

Octobosses: Splatsville are the colossal, semi-mechanical war machines and devastating superweapons that serve as the high-clearance elite bosses of the Octarian army in the Splatoon manga. Originally deployed over a century ago during the historic Great Turf War, Splatsville's background is rooted in advanced and forbidden military engineering, which implants a single, sentient, and highly vengeful Octarian control tentacle deep inside a massive, heavily armored robotic outer shell. Splatsville's personality across these distinct warmongering constructs is defined by pure, unyielding aggression, immense destructive pride, and an overwhelming desire to flatten surface society, though they are notoriously prone to hilarious design oversights and structural vulnerabilities that Team Blue effortlessly exploits mid-battle. Visually monstrous and imposing, Splatsville manifest as a diverse gallery of giant mechanical threats—ranging from the multi-layered stamping cube of the Mighty Octostomp to the towering, multi-spouted nozzle fortress of the Dreaded Octonozzle and the rapidly spinning metallic shell of the Rampaging Octowhirl. Requiring the immense electrical energy of a stolen Zapfish or a direct high-voltage plug-in to activate their heavy-duty internal gears, Splatsville relentlessly level the battlefield with massive ink explosions and crushing brute force, serving as the ultimate structural gatekeepers that the protagonists must systematically dismantle to rescue Inkopolis's stolen power sources.

Commander Tartar: Splatsville is the cold, ruthless, and terrifyingly clinical artificial intelligence who serves as the ultimate mastermind behind the Deepsea Metro and the true main antagonist of the Octo Expansion arc in the Splatoon manga. Built over ten thousand years ago by a brilliant ancient human scientist, Splatsville's background is rooted in a heavy directive to observe and guide the next dominant species of Earth, though he ultimately deemed the current ink-based society of Inklings and Octolings completely unworthy due to their obsessive focus on trivial fashion trends and petty Turf Wars. Splatsville's personality is defined by an absolute, genocidal god-complex and a chillingly polite, robotic demeanor; he feels no remorse or empathy whatsoever, viewing living creatures as mere biological data points to be systematically harvested and blended into a raw cellular slurry to create a "perfect" new world order. Visually disturbing, Splatsville appears as a vintage, high-tech teal-and-white telephone booth that leaks a thick, swirling mixture of glowing neon ooze from its cracks, which he uses to forcefully control the minds of top-tier fighters like Agent 3. Operating from inside an ancient, colossal facility disguised as a statue, Splatsville coordinates deadly underground trials and commands the devastating NILS Statue laser weapon, pushing Team Blue and Agent 8 into a thrilling race against time to save the surface world from absolute extinction.

Sanitized Octolings: Splatsville are the eerie, hollow, and completely brainwashed female elite soldiers who serve as the high-clearance defensive guards throughout the Deepsea Metro in the Splatoon manga. Created under the cold, scientific direction of Commander Tartar, Splatsville's background is characterized by a horrific process of chemical sanitization, where living Octarian troops are forcefully injected with an ancient human-made biological slime that systematically erases their memories, personalities, and free will. Splatsville's personality is defined by an absolute, terrifying emptiness; they possess no emotions, fear, or self-preservation instincts whatsoever, moving across the testing grounds like ghostly puppets that are driven solely by a hardcoded directive to terminate any unauthorized test subjects. Visually disturbing and distinct from standard surface Octolings, Splatsville features pale, ash-gray skin, blank eyes with hollow yellow pupils, and long, swirling tentacles that have been completely dyed into a flat, glowing teal-and-lime-green chemical gradient. Stripped of their individuality and clad in sleek, form-fitting black leather combat uniforms, Splatsville completely dominates the underground trials by moving with mechanical efficiency, utilizing blistering speed, and fiercely pressuring Agent 8 and Team Blue by relentlessly firing high-precision Octo Shots without ever making a single sound.
