Some female Octolings serve the Octarian army as elite soldiers. Those soldiers are encountered as enemies in single-player modes of ''Splatoon'' and ''Splatoon 2''.

The ''Octo Expansion'' DLC of ''Splatoon 2'' introduces playable Octolings who look significantly different from the Octarian soldier ones and could be unlocked for multiplayer upon beating the DLC. However, despite the player controlling an Octoling in the DLC, Octarian soldier Octolings still appear as enemies, albeit [[inkipedia:Sanitized Octarian|"sanitized"]] (brainwashed by the {{iw|inkipedia|Kamabo Corporation}}). Octolings were also temporarily playable in multiplayer without the DLC for players who chose Team Octopus in the [[inkipedia:Squid vs. Octopus (2018)|Squid vs. Octopus Splatfest]].
