who is devilfish?? (in floyd's stitch voicelines) is it lilia? i thought lilia was flapjack octopus??

You're absolutely correct, it is Lilia. Floyd says Mendako-chan (メンダコちゃん) in JP. I have a short answer and a long answer for you. Short Answer: Devilfish is what the EN game uses. Long Answer: The Japanese flapjack octopus has the scientific name Opisthoteuthis depressa. Not only is it called the "Japanese flapjack octopus," but it can also be called the "Japanese pancake devilfish." There are 14 total flapjack octopus species in the Opisthoteuthis genus which are apparently called "flapjack devilfishes" collectively. Lastly, it seems that devilfish may be an outdated term for octopus (which could also hint at Lilia's age). One thing to note is that "Flapjack Octopus" was the fan-translated version of Floyd's nickname for Lilia. While it isn't wrong, it's just not what the EN game decided to go with. And although some of EN's choices are... questionable, this one, at least, is still true to the original name. I'll also be trying to incorporate more "canon" terms into my translations (instead of being stubborn) from now on as well.

(o)raian chirpy chips has a really interesting design to me. not only are they a cirrate octopus- a subgenus of deep sea octopus that produce neither ink nor change color, but they don't really... look like the type of octopus they're supposed to be that much..?

(o)raian is an opisthoteuthis depressa, a species of flapjack octopus that has a common name in japanese but not in english, which is why it's usually just translated to flapjack octopus (at least in the context of raian). they're a bit more wrinkly looking than other flapjack octopsues, and from what i've seen their color ranges from red to orange, and, well. they can't change color.

while raian does have orange hands/feet and red tips of their tentacles, they're primarily green? that, along with the shape of their head and face, makes me think that their design was probably meant to resemble a classic green alien, which is really interesting when you consider the fact that the term octarian was originally supposed to be a portmanteau of octopus and alien, something that was kind of lost in localization when the r wasn't switched to an l.

do i think this means that raian is supposed to be an octarian? eh, not really. i think the most likely explanation for this is that raian's design was reused octarian concept art.

i do think the concept of them being an octarian/octoling is really interesting though, and so despite the fact that i don't think the intention is that they're an octoling in disguise, i like interpreting them that way, both because of the whole alien thing and for some other reasons relating to cirrate octopuses in splatoon concept art.

i'll probably make another post at some point about octopus species + how they influence my designs n how i think of it in an in-universe sense, but for now, this post is just about raian :)

now this info could be Wildly incorrect (the source given is in japanese, which i cannot read) but the splatoon wiki for ABXY says that the green pal is a flapjack octopus. this wouldnt have sent off alarms in my brain except a) wheres the suction cups and b) green???? nintendo explain

Yeah, technically Ryan’s a Opisthoteuthis depressa - Japanese Pancake Devilfish, specifically, but it’s the same genus as the flapjack octopus, Opisthoteuthis californiana. O. depressa is found only off the coast of Japan, so that’s a fun Japanese touch haha. Though O. californiana has a larger distribution which also includes Japanese waters

Ryan’s fine re: suction cups though ‘cause look

Suction cups aren’t visible from the topside really; you can see some on the parts where its leggies are curled up a bit but that kind of detail doesn’t belong on the splatband artstyle. If it’s the inconsistency with regular Octolings that bother you, well, Ryan is more correct so lmao thanks for your usual levels of consistency there splat devs

As for the Green... Well, Splatoon isn’t exactly accurate with any of its color choices haha

Overall Ryan ABXY isn’t anywhere near as cursed as some Certain Other Splatband characterS

#right yeah by the way his name is Ryan #once upon a time I did also yell at Ryan but I have discovered Stronger Enemies #Squid 2 the evolution of the squid #haikara walker info...#technicbones #asks
