Real World Marine Animals that Inspired Splatoon 2’s Deepsea Metro Characters

Splatoon and Splatoon 2 feature countless creative characters based on creatures that exist in the real world, but few are as bizarre as the Denizens of the Deep in Octo Expansion. As a former marine science researcher and educator, I am excited to share some fun facts about these amazing deep sea animals!
