In this form, they are largely incompetent outside of their ink, but when swimming in it, they can completely submerge into it and swim at speeds far greater than the humanoid form's running speed. The undersides of their enlarged tentacle heads are always white, regardless of what color the rest of them is, and they have a single large sucker on each. It has a short mantle with relatively large fins, and two upward-facing, human-like gray eyes. They have some small arms in the middle of their bodies, with two large tentacles on either side, resembling the hair of their humanoid form. The squid form resembles a small, cartoony, monochromatic squid. However, some Inklings can control both forms at much younger ages. By the age of 14, Inklings gain complete control over both these forms and can change between humanoid and squid form at will.

The original Turf Wars were overseen by Judd, who was cryogenically frozen by his human owner before the Earth was flooded. The lack of space forced the Inklings to fight for whatever territory they could find, and the Turf War as a concept was established. Circa 2000 years before the events of Splatoon, the Inklings crawled up to what little habitable land there was left on the planet. Inklings are evolved species of squid that came to be after rising sea levels sunk human civilization.
