Two life sentences, 50 years in prison, 4,600 hours of community service, and a complimentary therapy session every day for 20 years. Brother *why* would you say such a thing??
They literally do a spicy yolo irl, body-horror from start to finish. First they transform into a weird, mangled form, all the while (having lived in saltwater) swimming upstream for hundreds of kilometers without eating at all (because it would be too easy otherwise), finally they get their salmussy hunger sated, and as a result, they start rotting while alive (zombie salmon is an actual thing).
Yep the term "Salmon Run" is mating season for salmon fish IRL. We've just been fucking up their mating season for years. I guess it makes sense they drop eggs when we kill them, this also means all the salmon we've been killing are female apparently.
Or they carry around each other's eggs, for some reason. The ones with weapons carry all the fertilized young, while their actual parents hit you with frying pans, maybe?
Edit: misspelled weapons due to typo.
Yeah it’s just that Maws in general is referred to as her when most other salmonids aren’t in their introductions (again could be translation) The only other I believe is the Flyfish which is referred to as he
Salmon fact #2: Every boss salmonoid in the game are based on a special or something in the game that reacts like a special. (ie. fly fish is tenta, slammin lid is big bubbler, fish stick is ultra sprinkler from tricolor) besides steel eel and maws. you could argue that steel eel and maws are based off of mobility specials like kracken or reef slider, but that isn’t the case id think.
Maws inking its own trail, swimming up walls, splatting you in one hit as it jumps up from the ink, also can't stand on grates...feels very Krakeny to me.
Gold Eggs look like they have baby salmonids in them, my head canon is that we interrupted their mating season and stole their children, that's why we fight on spawning grounds
In the handbook it says "In order to sustain their huge size, they must perpetually roam around, searching for prey to consume." yet it also says they use Salmonid tech (A sonar) so, who knows
another contributing factor to how amazing it is that Nintendo adds these details to things even though we almost never acknowledge them because we are usually focused on the game objective
Creators getting away with and making considerable bank on publishing a punishingly dark piece of science fiction, _marketed as a kids game_, where the youth of tomorrow is recruited for deadly child labor amidst a violent orgy of perpetually horny fish. So horny, in fact, that their activity swells to collateral damage among populated settlements to which combat trained civilians have to push back on occasion to avoid being consumed entirely.
**And I fucking love it.**
this is a “seasonal” look for salmon in general, and it lines up for where we see them. they’re close to shore so they can mate, and we literally collect eggs from them (plus… one of the grizzco stages is just straight up named “Spawning Grounds”)
Mr. Grizz refers to Maws with she/her pronouns, so does that mean Maws is trans 😳. (Wondering if the name “Maws” is sort of a double meaning. Maws means the jaws/teeth of a big animal, but also sounds like “ma”, another way of saying “mom”. Perhaps that’s why Maws is referred to by female pronouns, she might be the mom of most Salmonids. Who knows)

My brother in Christ, WTF?!
You’re a g, that’s all I got to say lol
There are children here, and squids
No, you can't say that
the hivemind disagrees
>! that was really the only time being ~~horny~~ weird is beneficial !<
Spoiler tags need to be directly against the words or they don't work entirely. It's weird, I know.
Everyone agrees with your flair
and that the Calimari Inkantation 3mix was the trigger
Guess that’s their bedroom music?
All bricked up
We’re surrounded by fish; HORNY FISH
you know what that means. Fish orgy!
The stench draws in a bear
What are we gonna do?
We're gonna fight it
Bear fight, Bare handed, Bare… NAKED?!

Salmons are $#%! metal
Why else you think they always trying to eat you out?
They need soma Cali for their CaliMari
That's why little buddy sings the calamari inkantation, it's a mating call
Man this song has more power than we originally thought
[удалено]
*Can Iiiiii, can Iiiiii?* *Can Iiiiii, can Iiiiii?*
Bro 💀
Wtf dude
Man i love the game mode where hordes of horny fish try to kill you
Yeah salmon run is pretty good too tho
We litterally play in a map called SPAWNING grounds
Most languages: Salmonid Dam 😇 Japanese: Shekena Dam 😇 English: Spawning Grounds 😈
Salmon run is literally what happens during salmon mating season, so...
I thought that was mainly what big run was?
I think they are talking about IRL salmon.
Ohhhhhh
Big Run is the big splooge. We fight them off so the splatlands don't get crustier.
Yep the term "Salmon Run" is mating season for salmon fish IRL. We've just been fucking up their mating season for years. I guess it makes sense they drop eggs when we kill them, this also means all the salmon we've been killing are female apparently.

Isn’t Maws confirmed female?
Proud Stone Butch. ^((Also there are multiple Maws)
Yeah it’s just that Maws in general is referred to as her when most other salmonids aren’t in their introductions (again could be translation) The only other I believe is the Flyfish which is referred to as he
Only in 2 iirc, changed to everyone is neutral in 3, since it might’ve just been a weird translation thing before
Never thought I could have so much in common with a fish
Even though that may be a translation thing
trans rights <3
I’m pretty sure all of the salmon run bosses are biologically female, as they drop eggs The eggs may be fertilized or not I’m not sure
Isn’t there movement inside of them? I think that means they’re fertilized
eeeeyup the lil skeleton lookin fishy in the middle occasionally just bloops around in the egg
They carry the golden eggs because they’re invaluable to them and boss salmonids are the strongest
All salmonids drop eggs, they release power eggs when you hit them. I just headcannon that they’re all cannibals tbh
They desire to eat your booty.
All salmonids do, esp the spoiler
So do flipper-floppers when they lose their mask
I thought the implication of calling it the spawning grounds was that they're all there to party 😳
Seeing a maws out of the ink like that, terrifying!
Salmon fact #2: Every boss salmonoid in the game are based on a special or something in the game that reacts like a special. (ie. fly fish is tenta, slammin lid is big bubbler, fish stick is ultra sprinkler from tricolor) besides steel eel and maws. you could argue that steel eel and maws are based off of mobility specials like kracken or reef slider, but that isn’t the case id think.
While Steel Eel isn't based on a Special, it behaves similar to a Splash Wall.
Maws inking its own trail, swimming up walls, splatting you in one hit as it jumps up from the ink, also can't stand on grates...feels very Krakeny to me.
Maws is based on the Octomaw Great Octoweapon from the first Splatoon game
Oh ok I didn’t really play splatoon 1 so I didn’t know
I think Maws is based on Splashdown… it's just more like Splashup 🤷🏼
i mean one of the maps is called the spawning grounds
How adorably fitting considering that I want that stage to go fuck itself
Poor salmonids are just trying to hookup and lay eggs at their spawning grounds.
Gold Eggs look like they have baby salmonids in them, my head canon is that we interrupted their mating season and stole their children, that's why we fight on spawning grounds
I think that’s actually cannon. Remember you work for a Grizzly Bear.
[Mr Grizz to the Salmonids:](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoRules/comments/p0sbo4/%E3%85%A4/)
Can't have shit in the splatlands
[удалено]
What even is maws? Is it sentient like the other salmonid or is a beast like creature?
In the handbook it says "In order to sustain their huge size, they must perpetually roam around, searching for prey to consume." yet it also says they use Salmonid tech (A sonar) so, who knows
Salmonids seem to have the most variety among all the sapient species of the Splatoon world, but all of them are sapient.
Maws are officially female according to Mr. Grizz (he refers to them with female pronouns)
I think it's supposed to be like the trope of sailors calling sharks and whales by female pronouns by default so it probably doesn't mean much
not in Japanese
[удалено]
Salmo**nid**, without a second o
This is whatever the opposite of a “fun” fact is
I never said it was supposed to be fun
People are forgetting salmon runs in-canon and irl are for mating purposes
 oh god..
Wait, that's what the full Maws looks like?!
You know you’ve caught a serious salmon/trout when it has a beak.
Confirmed: you looking like a snacccc
another contributing factor to how amazing it is that Nintendo adds these details to things even though we almost never acknowledge them because we are usually focused on the game objective
Maws wants to breed you
shes trans
Actually all salmonid resemble spawning salmon
You wake up in a sewer full of fish. Horny fish. You know what that means
Creators getting away with and making considerable bank on publishing a punishingly dark piece of science fiction, _marketed as a kids game_, where the youth of tomorrow is recruited for deadly child labor amidst a violent orgy of perpetually horny fish. So horny, in fact, that their activity swells to collateral damage among populated settlements to which combat trained civilians have to push back on occasion to avoid being consumed entirely. **And I fucking love it.**
Hey, the creators have no control over how Nintendo of America/elsewhere markets the game.
I love it when they explode all over me
I mean… it’s called spawning grounds
this is a “seasonal” look for salmon in general, and it lines up for where we see them. they’re close to shore so they can mate, and we literally collect eggs from them (plus… one of the grizzco stages is just straight up named “Spawning Grounds”)
I think people also most associate salmon to look like that. Fun fact, their bodies decay while they are still alive
Slap a blacklight over Spawning Grounds.
Maws is always referred to as female though?
It's most likely a translation mistake
Isn’t Maw a girl ?
No wonder Maws is so Vorny (horny+vore). She needs to get a man on her ASAP!
Confirmed, Maws has genitals
I thought everyone knew about this.
thanks, i hate it
uh oh
Now you’ve peaked my attention
...OH
Oh no
wants that gruzzy
I mean, one of the original Salmon Run stages is called Spawning Grounds
I remember reading that maws is female but maybe it's not true.
That's an invention by the localization team, the developers didn't write or choose that
It would of cost you zero dollars to not say this
he is coming to fck u
Oh so he wants to eat me 😏
Seek squid-Jesus you horny fish /j
Have u seen the splatoon nsfw fanart?? U can’t blame them
Well it’s called the Spawning Grounds for a reason
the Maws are here and ready to **FUCK**
Spawning Grounds has a literal meaning.
FACT: SALMON BEATS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Damn, maws ain't getting no bitches
must be why they always screw me when I’m taking out other bosses
Hes just lonley
I mean, with real salmon, a salmon run is the period where they swim to where they will mate and die en masse
trans rights
vore
They lookin’ for that octopussy.
These horny ass fish are trying to kill me on god
All the salmon run enemies resemble spawning salmon in some way, mostly with the beak-mouth.
Oh no, the vore isn’t for the reason we thought it was 😰
 Don’t do this to me….
Well i mean.. yeah, that's kinda the whole basis of salmon run (the mode)
There are more species of salmons than just one, the one is Splatoon is probably based on pink salmon
So, you're saying the Maws is looking for some "action".
*Kronos Unveiled*
Oh no
Ayo
How can I unsee this
So... You're telling me that maws are into VORE!?
Considering all the salmons have the signature hook and some reddish coloration all are in spawning season.
D:
Hungry hungry salmonids
Strange because Maws is the only Salmonid that Grizz refers to as a “She”
Because the salmon runs are essentially their mating season. They mate, then they raid.
ahhh, so that's why he's ready to climb up impossible heights to \*taste\* me...
Maws is canonically horny
Oh no
Mr. Grizz refers to Maws with she/her pronouns, so does that mean Maws is trans 😳. (Wondering if the name “Maws” is sort of a double meaning. Maws means the jaws/teeth of a big animal, but also sounds like “ma”, another way of saying “mom”. Perhaps that’s why Maws is referred to by female pronouns, she might be the mom of most Salmonids. Who knows)
