What species is Shiver listed as?

Shiver is listed as an Octoling.

In Splatoon’s world, Octolings are humanoid octopuses who can switch between a person-like form and an octopus form. They are the octopus counterpart to Inklings, who are based on squids. Shiver’s blue hair, red eyes, and octopus-inspired design identify her as an Octoling, even though her role is that of a stylish performer and news host.

Shiver is one of Deep Cut, the idol trio introduced in Splatoon 3 alongside Frye and Big Man. The group hosts Anarchy Splatcast in Splatsville and also performs music during Splatfests. Shiver’s Japanese-influenced design includes shark-themed imagery because she comes from a family associated with shark taming.

A common mix-up is confusing Shiver with Frye, who is an Inkling. Big Man is neither: he is a manta ray. Shiver’s species also does not change in Splatoon Raiders, where the trio return as treasure hunters.
