Splat (occurrence)
- This article is about the occurrence in the Splatoon series. For other things referred to as Splat, seeSplat (disambiguation).
Asplat is an event that occurs in theSplatoon series whenever the health points of a player,Octarian, orSalmonid reach zero.
Description
Upon being splatted, the player will explode in enemy ink while their ghost flies upward. Any player carrying clams inClam Blitz or theRainmaker inRainmaker will drop them upon being splatted. After being splatted, the player will be unable to perform any actions except looking at the map and using signals if playing online until they respawn. In the time before that, their camera will briefly linger on the spot where they were splatted before following the player who splatted them.
If a player is splatted, the player who splatted them will receive a notification and an icon will appear over the place where the player was splatted for a few seconds. InSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3, if a player assists the splatter (meaning that they dealt damage to the opponent but did not land the final shot) then they will get no notification and a different icon will appear above the place that their opponent was splatted. In the single-player modes andSalmon Run, Octarians andSalmonids will always give the player who splatted themPower Eggs. Along with dropping Power Eggs,Boss Salmonids will dropGolden Eggs and certain Octarians will dropkeys. Octarian bosses leaveZapfish behind when splatted, andDJ Octavio drops theGreat Zapfish.
InSplatoon 3, the message "WIPEOUT!" appears on the screen when all members of a team are splatted (or in the process of respawning) at the same time, with a different color and sound effect depending on whether the player's team or the enemy team is wiped out (with black text for the former and white text for the latter); this does not happen inTricolor Turf Wars. InSide Order, the message appears when theParallel Canon is defeated.

Trivia
- Octolings (includingenemy Octolings) andInklings have different ghosts from each other when they are splatted, with the latter using a squid-like ghost and the former using an octopus-like ghost. Additionally, theOcto Samurai fromOcto Canyon uses the same ghost as an Octoling during hisboss battle.
- In aSplatoon 2 anniversary Famitsu interview with the developers, it was revealed that ifAgent 8 is splatted during theescape phases of theOcto Expansion, they do not respawn. It is further explained that during multiplayer battles and the test stations, Agent 8 gets resurrected at thespawn points, but failing during the escape and choosing to continue playing just has the player "go back in time" to when Agent 8 still was alive.[1] This seems to imply that being splatted is lethal and that respawning is a form of resurrection.
