InWelcome amiibo[edit]
InAnimal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, Inkwell's skill of "defending territory" is a reference toSplatoon gameplay, which typically involves capturing and defending territory in game modes such asTurf War andSplat Zones. His goal of "squid" is a reference to the two competing factions in the firstSplatoon game:Octolings, the antagonistic faction that can transform into octopuses, and Inklings, the more peaceful faction who can transform into squids. Inkwell's species as an octopus represents being an Octoling, and his goal of "squid" represents wanting to become an Inkling, as confirmed in hisRV description.
