Splatoon 2s Salmon Run Is More Fun With Ridiculous Enemy Nicknames. Though the hype surrounding the sequel to everyones favorite squid fighting simulator has died down a bit, players are still flocking to the games ever changing horde mode. Salmon Run drops a team of four inkings onto a small map with a host of possible challenges. Water levels rise and fall, waves of fog creep in, and armies of murderous fish beasts slosh forth from the ocean to crack your skull with their handy frying pans. When players arent fleeing for their life from some mutant salmon demon, theyre frantically shoving golden eggs into the nearest depository. No David Attenborough documentary series has prepared you for this kind of natural phenomenon. While I was initially draw to Splatoon 2 by my love of the original game for Wii U, Salmon Run soon became my obsession. The fact that its not available for play round the clock makes it that much more special and mysterious. The true stars of this new mode are the aptly dubbed Boss Salmonids, terrifyingly silly creatures with distinct forms of attack and defense. The Salmon Run tutorial does a great job of introducing each boss and showing the best strategy for defeating it. But yelling, Here comes a Scrapper or Weve got a Flyfish over here just wasnt doing it for me. So my dedicated squad of squid friends and I crafted elegant and timeless nicknames for each Salmon Run boss. Allow me to introduce. Bomberman. Given Name Steelhead. Explanation Ok, Ill admit Im not exactly starting off with the most clever one. The Steelhead throws enormous paint bombs from his noggin. Bombs that must be shot as he pushes them slowly out of his grotesque neck if players want to burst his bubble. Without a powerful and well timed volley of ink the Steelhead can stay alive for far too long, tossing bombs willy nilly. Thus, he was bestowed the title of Bomberman, gamings most iconic bomb tosser. Elton John. Given Name Flyfish. Explanation The Flyfish has been known to turn the tide on even the best of teams. This hovering trash monster blasts rockets of ink from his side compartments and can only be properly blown to bits by some well placed splat bombs. Why Elton John Because hes a Rocket Man. ROCKET MAAAN. Burning out his fuel out there alone. And I think its going to be a long long time before touchdown brings you round again to find hes not the fish you think he is at home. Oh no, no, no. Hes a rocket man. The Kids Choice Awards. Given Name Steel Eel. Explanation Winning a prestigious award is great I assume, but winning an orange blimp thats secretly a kaleidoscope and getting doused in a shower of slime while Rosie ODonnell screams your name is an honor reserved for only the most perfect human beings. Now YOU can live the dream of every American child in the mid 9. The Steel Eel does just this as it cruises slowly towards each member of your unit. Radical The BiterGrandmaw. Watch The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Lion Free. Given Name Maws. Explanation The Maws can swim through any solid bit of environment while tracking its prey.

The Bizarro Episode trope as used in popular culture. Everything in the episode seems completely against continuity, the characters act like theyre on. WARNER BROS CARTOONS. Crazy characters and wacky situations were the trade mark of these cartoons. X400 19. 99 each. CRAZY CRUISE. 1942 classic Tex Avery Warner. Ben Mendelsohn Orson Krennic. B EN MENDELSOHN Director Krennic is a critically acclaimed and awardwinning actor who most recently was nominated as Best Supporting. No one is safe from its sneak attacks and tenacious jaws. The name Maws is already pretty clever, so Biter might be a bit of a downgrade in terms of official labels. Its just more fun to say. Though certainly not as enjoyable as Grandmaw. Aww, what happenedYou were the only one still alive. This Grandmaw came out of nowhere and ate meNo matter what sentence you use to describe your fate at the hands of a Grandmaw, youre sure to get a chuckle out of it. Long Island Iced Tea. Given Name Stinger. Explanation If youve ever seen or drank a long island iced tea you know that they are traditionally served in tall glasses. The Stingers towering body, topped with a straw like laser canon, gives it just enough of a resemblance to the fruity drink to make the nickname stick. And what happens when you have too many Long Island Iced Teas at once Thats right you get blasted. Rihanna. Given Name Drizzler. Explanation The Drizzler seen top left in the image above floats down from on high to launch its special ink storm clouds. Its main form of transportation and defense is its sturdy steel umbrella ella ella, eh, eh, eh. You see where this is going, right The Oven. Given Name Scrapper. Explanation The Scrappers only weakness is its unprotected backside. Teamwork is needed to distract it while someone sneaks around and lights up the poor schmuck from behind. Since this bumbling baddie looks like an increasingly hostile baking device it has acquired a moniker to match. So check on those biscuits and pump this sucker full of ink. Killa Grilla. Given Name Griller. Explanation The Griller is part of a special wave that is solely dedicated to these mindless and bloodthirsty backyard barbecues. The Griller has only one objective kill. With the help of its somehow even more annoying swarm of small fry salmon it slowly paints you into a corner. And then it paints the life right out of you. God help us all. Super Saiyan. Given Name Goldie. Explanation The Goldie are part of a few special occurrences in Salmon Run, the most notable simply known as a Rush. These freakishly aggressive and brightly glowing thugs will lead wave after wave of their minions to overwhelm your team while you shout obscenities at your television screen. Much like the legendary warrior race featured in the Dragon Ball series, they are a shining beacon of justice and terror. The number of Super Saiyen led salmon on screen during a Rush phase is easily over 9. Surely I cant be the only one who has nicknamed these suicidal salmon deviants.
