- Inkwell

Inkwell is a jock octopus villager from the, first appearing in. Inkwell references Splatoon, and is one of several villagers introduced in the update that references other Nintendo franchises. Inkwell can be brought into the player's campground and invited to join the village by scanning any Inkling Girl, Boy or Squid amiibo.

His name refers to the ink that octopuses produce, a major gameplay element in Splatoon. Likewise, his Japanese name contains sumi, "ink".

Appearance
Inkwell's design is based on an Inkling squid from Splatoon and may also be a reference to the Octolings of Splatoon 2, which had yet to be released at the time of the update. He is an orange octopus with dark orange stripes on the back of his head and tentacles. The bottom of his tentacles are white. His eyes are right next to each other, almost making him appear as having one large eye with two pupils. He has a large brow and the underside of his eyes has a thick, dark outline.

Personality
Inkwell is a jock villager, which means that he will enjoy sports and exercising. He will get along with peppy, sisterly, cranky and other jock villagers, but will conflict with lazy villagers' laid-back lifestyle. He also may have trouble getting along with snooty villagers as well.

House
Inkwell's house is Splatoon-themed, including a Splatoon tower and Splatoon spawn point, four squid bumpers, and a modern table on which he has a Super Sea Snail and a Splattershot. He also has the ink-splattered wall and floor.

Trivia
