Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, which act as the players' avatars in ''Splatoon'' and ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'' (the latter of which also allows players to choose {{iw|inkipedia|Octoling|playable}}s if they have purchased and completed the {{s|inkipedia|Octo Expansion}} DLC). {{s|inkipedia|Turf War}} battles between teams of Inklings involve using a variety of weapons from multiple weapon classifications to cover the map with their team's colored ink - which they can swim in while in squid form - while disrupting the other team's attempt to do the same within the time limit of three minutes. Inklings are also very fashionable, as they can be seen wearing different outfits as well as sporting different hairstyles (though hairstyle options are only available in ''Splatoon 2''). Inklings are also colored based on ink battle teams from classic ''Splatoon''. | Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, which act as the players' avatars in ''Splatoon'' and ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'' (the latter of which also allows players to choose {{iw|inkipedia|Octoling|playable}}s if they have purchased and completed the {{s|inkipedia|Octo Expansion}} DLC). Newborn Inklings initially only have their squid form and slowly go through a metamorphosis into their humanoid form, reaching maturity after about fourteen years.<ref>[https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/File:Concept_Art_-_Aging_Process.png Inkling aging process]</ref> {{s|inkipedia|Turf War}} battles between teams of Inklings involve using a variety of weapons from multiple weapon classifications to cover the map with their team's colored ink - which they can swim in while in squid form - while disrupting the other team's attempt to do the same within the time limit of three minutes.

The Inkling Outfit/Wig being orange for female Mii Gunners and blue for male Mii Gunners is a reference to the two most prominent Inklings in promotional art (including ''Splatoon''{{'}}s [[inkipedia:File:Boxart.jpg|cover]]), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling. These two designs are also the basis of the original Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl {{s|inkipedia|amiibo}} designs. The pose used for the Inkling trophy in ''SSB4'' also matches the Inkling Girl amiibo. The Inkling Squid Hat, resembling an Inkling's squid form, appears to reference the design used for the original Inkling Squid amiibo, which is also green and in squid form. | The Inkling Outfit/Wig being orange for female Mii Gunners and blue for male Mii Gunners is a reference to the two most prominent Inklings in promotional art (including ''Splatoon''{{'}}s [[inkipedia:File:Boxart.jpg|cover]]), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling.
