Inkling Squid | Nintendo amiibo Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![Inkling Squid](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/inkling-squid.png "Inkling Squid")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/inkling-squid.png)Series: Splatoon
Release Date: July 2017
Presented by: Nintendo

In the Splatoon™ series, the main characters, Inklings, can instantly transform into squids!

We’re not sure what marvel of anatomy allows them to perform this majestic feat, but it sure is sweet. In squid form, Inklings can swim in any surface they’ve splattered with ink, even up walls! They can also hide from opponents by submerging in ink and keeping still. How cool is that?
