    Are you a Kid or are you a Squid? The question has plagued the gaming community since... well okay not that long ago, but it was SPLATOON’s main marketing slogan! And in truth, Inklings are fascinating: bipedal childlike creatures one moment, blooper-like ink swimming cephalopods the next. But is it possible to ever truly know if Inklings are more Squid-like or more Kid-like? YES. Yes it is. And today I will prove to you that Inklings are ABSOLUTELY more one than the other!

      @@elscruffo2264 In my opinion, the canon lore is way more fun and easy to understand!
      Sunken scrolls state inklings have a full skeletal structure made of flexible cartilage and very good adapted eye sight after hundreds (because of RNA) of years of evolution.
      Octolings are the same, but reproductive systems are different, where as inkings have sexual intercourse, while octolings cut of tentacles from their head and grow it.
      The reason they evolved into bipeds that can switch between forms was because a nuclear bomb was launched at a base in Antarctic during WWV (World War 5), melting all of the ice there, causing tsunamis and flooding. The acidity of sea water was now that of tomato juice, so cephalopods decided to NOT die and evolved to live on land, giving them a natural weakness to water.

    The actual lore is explained in the "The Art of Splatoon: The book with splattitude" shows that on page 313 it says the world ended due to somebody launching a nuclear missile at the South Pole, as seen here "During the last war, someone from somewhere launched a nuclear warhead into the South Pole." The reasoning behind that is because there were 3 more world wars and on the fifth one is when humanity went extinct as shown earlier on the same page. Quote "Mankind's violent nature resulted in many civil wars and five great world wars."

The official word to describe the plural of octopus is just "octopuses". Also, "octopi" is basically the same thing as "octopodes"; it's not technically correct.
