History
Salmonids were recently been sighted along the irradiated waters outside Inkopolis, having participated on their Salmon Runs in every 70 years. They can swim freely in the water (which instead splats Inklings) and can walk on land. They are also known for collecting resources for their society.
Salmonids also tend to be aggressive and warlike. They also use frying pans as their weapons, likely passed down from humans.
