I still wish we could have their hairstyle

[@uzidoorman_MD_lol]

[@darkscytheproductions2567]

I wish they were playable plus had their hairstyle

[@goat.cheese_]

Well, I think they do that to show the distinction between our octoling that we play as and the enemies but still I agree

[@SpicyInk]

Poor rival octolings suffered way too much. They failed to secure a powersource twice, some got sanitized and the ones who didn't leave the underground got taken by the fuzzy ooze

[@SkitLegoIdeaTheory]

And they don’t even get justice as playable characters

[@plutothetitanslayer1226]

@@SkitLegoIdeaTheorythe octarians like the non human formed octarians have been suffering more than ever before. They’re not even welcome on city but human like inklings and octolings for years 😢

[@princessozmaofoz5242]

I want these octolings so bad. They've always been my favourites, and never were playable.

[@jamess_0]

Same!

[@plutothetitanslayer1226]

It’s either because of music 🎶 and goggles or because DJ Octavio has no care of his minions but himself to become stronger yet he is old and losing his mind by cutting his tentacles 🐙

[@wolfegirl30ful]

Same here

[@Gunnergamingyt2]

Maybe in 4

[@Yu_nicorn]

They appear so much LESS in splatoon 3 and its very sad 😢 they even did not get a proper animation or something

[@gamindanny2773]

So true

[@ScreamingIntoThePixelVoid]

yeah, I wish they had their own intros like in the other campaigns

[@evanbao93]

Well that's what happens when nearly all the Octolings decided to move to Inkopolis and Splatsville instead of remaining with DJ Octavio.

[@jamess_0]

Yea :( I wish we got more of them

[@SkitLegoIdeaTheory]

Well, most of the octolings are probably
Either A: Sanitized
Or B: Living in society

[@donutsorokin8042]

Back in the day i used to think they looked really cool and beautyful (i still kinda do), and i talk for many when i say that when we said we wanted octolings to be playable, this is what we meant

Hopefully we will get the glasses of the mammalian octoling in a later season of Splatoon 3 or after splatoon 3 like Splatoon 2 did with the octo goggles

[@DorkyOctoling2468]

someone should add male enemy octolings

[@Gonig]

Is it me or do the octolings behave differently from Splatoon 1 to Splatoon 2? Like if the developers learnt how the players play on online battles during the Splat1 lifetime

[@tetraxis3011]

The OG AI was completely inept. Even nowdays their AI isn’t great(granted designing an AI for the style of combat in Splatoon is difficult.)

[@johannevalstedhansen3655]

I remember when the hostile octolings in Splat 1 wasn't very agressive back then.

[@donutsorokin8042]

Their AI was in the works

[@crazycanyon3028]

People joke about the awful ai in 2 and 3 but 1 was something else

[@hirahiro2331]

The Octos in Splat 1 seems easier to deal with. Hmmm.

[@johannevalstedhansen3655]

@@hirahiro2331Exactly I can say I almost never got splatted by them in Splat 1 but in OE and Splat 3 I've died to them so many times😅 their AI have really improved over the past years.
