Salmonid

Salmonid is the race that appear in Salmon Run(Splatoon2) and Salmon Run NEXTWAVE in (Splatoon3).

Although they are based on real-life salmonids, most Salmonids can walk on land, like Inklings and Octolings.

Their eyes are large and protrude from their face, giving them an appearance that is difficult to describe as an ordinary salmon.

They move around in groups for resources, and Grizzco Industries is recruiting workers to defeat them and obtain eggs.

Detail

Salmonid crafts a weapon from the junk that fell into the ocean and attacks the Inklings.

They are generally belligerent and not afraid of death.

Their sense of smell is highly developed and they can pinpoint where we are hiding.

Salmonids have a trade treaty with the Octarians, and receive advanced Octarian's technology in exchange for their eggs but they are'nt give the Golden egg.

(This is why Octarians drop orange eggs in hero mode)

Salmonid Types

There are three main types of Salmonid troops;

Lesser Salmonid,which exists in large numbers in the army and only drops orange eggs when defeated

Boss Salmonid, which is stronger than Lesser Salmonid and drops Golden Eggs in addition to orange eggs when defeated

King Salmonid,a huge enemy so powerful that defeating it becomes a Wave in itself

These three types can be further divided into multiple types.

Lesser Salmonid

Basic Information
They tend to appear in groups rather than alone. Defeating them will earn you Power eggs.
Attack Behavior
They use their sense of smell to locate a nd close in on targets who have entered their territory. Once they close in on a target, they perform close-range attacks using frying pans or other cookware.
Elimination
Can be neutralized relatively easy with a direct hit of ink.
Supporting Information
They inhabit a restricted ocean zone, and any unauthorized contact with them is expressly forbidden by law. The Smallfry might be weak, but they're very fast. They often ambush their targets from below. The larger Cohock moves slowly but packs a real punch with direct, strong attacks. On their own, they don't pose a significant threat, but ignore them and you may quickly find yourself surrounded.

They are low-class soldiers, and as explained, they only drop small Power Eggs when defeated, but since there are a lot of them, if you leave them alone, you will be unable to deal with them and it will be easy to Splat, so it is best to defeat them without ignoring them.
