Description:

This mod adds an Inkling from Splatoon as a playable character, the Inkling creates trails of creep when attacking and can dive into the creep to hide and avoid damage.

However explosions (aside from fetus shots), enemy lasers, enemy creep and enemy tears/projectiles will erase the creep and if the creep the Inkling is hiding in is erased the Inkling is forced out and can take damage.

The Inkling’s damage is a bit lower and can’t attack while swimming in creep, but you can charge attacks while swimming and you can utilize tear effects and familiars, as your familiars can still attack while you’re in the creep and tear effects you have can be applied to enemies that stand in the creep.
(freeze effect just slows enemies down instead of totally freezing them because that would be a bit overpowered due to how long the creep lasts but other effects do still work as you’d expect e.g. having dark matter makes the creep apply the fear effect)

The Inkling moves more quickly while swimming in the creep and there are plenty of tricks you can do, like being able to enter curse rooms for free by making a creep path to the door, swimming underneath spikes, or being able to swim under rocks if you have spectral tears.

The creep deals a small amount of damage to enemies but it does more damage as your damage stat increases, after generating a lot of creep the Inklings tear rate will become slowed and can be reset by diving into some creep, press the SWAP button to dive.
(SHIFT will also work on keyboard)

You can even change the Inklings color by using the Mod Config Menu or by opening the console (by pressing ~) and entering the command ‘changeinklingcolor COLOR’ or ‘changeplayer2inklingcolor COLOR’ / ‘changeplayer3inklingcolor COLOR’ / ‘changeplayer4inklingcolor COLOR’, there’s 8 colors to choose from, with 4 different hair styles:
Red and Orange (Hippie)
Yellow and Green (Slick)
Cyan and Blue (Topknot)
Purple and Pink (Haircut)

Should work with True Co-op although if multiple players are Inklings they will all be able to swim in any ink regardless of color, if you don’t like that you can make them all the same color.

You can also get a playable Octoling.
