I’ve had the question for a while, what do the inklings/octolings eat? Surely they just eat human food, right?

#

Looks the same to me

#

Besides the fruits in Kelp Dome (see the Art of Splatoon 1) and other Mollusc-era theming, it seems pretty much the same as our food.

#

they eat fruits, vegetables and seafood

#

They can eat basically what we eat except:

Meat
Dairy
Eggs

#

they do have fake dairy, though

#

they have faux-cheese (makomart and locker decoration) and implied faux-milk (monkey crab cereal commercial on tvs in inkopolis square in splat2)

#

Why not eggs? Birds still exist in the Splatoon universe.

#

There's a bowl of ramen in the Splatoon 3 Grizzco lobby, and Mako Mart also has tons of food.

#

There are vending machines littered throughout all of Splatoon as well.

I don’t think their eggs are edible

#

im surprised you guys didn't mention the fact they eat their unevolved counterparts

#

and salmonid

#

They eat eggs canonically

#

Just no products that come from mammals, so no dairy or mammal meat

rose belfry Dec 30, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

They drink squid milk

#

humans are the only every species to drink milk from other species

grim salmon Dec 30, 2022, 1:32 PM

#

rose belfry humans are the only every species to drink milk from other species

because we use tools and know to take advantage of our surroundings lol

#

animals only drink milk for nutrients

#

as babies

#

and from their parents who happen to be the same species

#

Ngl it feels dark saying that

#

and a bit depressing

not really but whatever

Also safe to assume they eat poultry, since birds still exist and “Fried Chicken” is an available title

tulip bay Dec 30, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

Yeah nogami has directly stated they eat birds

#

Maybe they domesticated and developed pidgeons to fill the void of the long extinct (?) red jungle fowl that became our chickens

#

But not so sure if domesticated chickens would still be a thing.

sinful elk Dec 31, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

Squiddymelons, junk food, meat, ect.

rose belfry Dec 31, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

surely the scientists took a male and female version of each animal for resources

#

like noah’s ark

grim salmon Dec 31, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

thats what the spaceship grizz was on for

gleaming crypt Dec 31, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

yeah that was part of the ark polaris' thing, they had animals in cold sleep, presumably to set up an ecosystem on whatever planet theyd find

#

but they all died during re-entry except for bear #03 who would go on to become mr grizz

#

They eat salmon

rose belfry Jan 1, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

they eat donuts

#

their watermelon comes in different colours

#

including blue and purple

#

many fruits like apples and bananas still exist

#

cereals as well

#

but… somehow they also have ice cream

#

all thanks to a trip to MakoMart there is a purple tentacle ice cream on a stick that can be found near spawn

#

potato chips and soda posters show that they are on special

#

you can also probably check arowana mall from s1 and s2 aswell

#

many sodas are drinkable

#

maybe they drink beer as well?

#

There are many references in many maps

#

that along with the fegular things that marigold and crusty sean sell

Don’t forget the ice cream box in Hotlantis.

ah yes- the ol 'what happens if I do this'

#

This just cam to me- im not sure if somebody already said this

#

But if they get little drinks in pouches, wouldn't part of that have to be water?

#

Like i get that they can hendle a LITTLE water but still

glossy cape Mar 12, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

Inklings and Octolings are fine with rain and consumption of water and stuff but if they’re like, fully or mostly submerged, then their skin goes through osmosis and isn’t able to keep their ink in, thus causing the “explosion” into ink when they fall into the water

#

Notably, irl squid ink is largely composed of mucus, which is also largely composed of water.

#

Considering Inklings and Octolings are mostly if not completely made of ink, water is essential to their very being.

Every Time Someone Asks How Turflings Can Drink, I Just Groan...

I'm Pretty Sure It's Common Knowledge That Water Is THE Requirement For Life

grim salmon Mar 12, 2024, 3:04 PM

same for saying their blood is made of ink
