Splatoon

The Octo Shower appears to be an enormous robot, vaguely shaped like a brass-and-copper shower head. The structure of it is rather simple, consisting of a number of metal protrusions hanging from the bottom of a slanted, blue ring that tops the machination, shaped somewhat like a shower cap, with the most prominent features of its chassis being its two enormous, circular optics on the front of it, covered by grates, that constantly glow red. Above the Octo Shower's 'eyes' are two small square vents that also glow red, partially obscured by its cap. Steam will blow out of these during certain actions, such as preparing an attack or recovering from being knocked to the ground. Resting on the Octo Shower's cap is a single, small, yellow rubber duck named Quackers.
On both the top and bottom of the Octo Shower are prominent circular holes. The bottom one serves as a bay that hides the Octo Shower's arms - two-segmented robotic appendages with blue rubber gloves for hands - as well as a variety of upscaled weapons that it holds using them, including a Charger, a crank gun, and a Sting Ray. The top one serves as an access for the control tentacle inside the machine; a large amount of magenta octo-ink can be seen within. Usually, this top hole is covered by a large, metal drain plug, with a number of chains connected to it. Octocopters with special yellow helmets constantly hold onto these, which, when using several at once, allow the Octo Shower to fly and, thus, move - without them, the Octo Shower is completely immobile and its control tentacle, exposed.

Splatoon

Order’s original form is a black cloud comprised of glitches and noise, with a cartoonish octopus face that glitches in and out of focus and tendrils coming from the bottom of it resembling tentacles. The proportions of the face change rapidly as it glitches.
In its “Overlorder” form, it is a gigantic octopus with eyes made from red 8-balls and a white bone-like structure, though it is covered in the same ink as the Jelletons . After it is defeated for the first time, it becomes “Smollusk”, a much smaller version of its octopus form with black tips at the end of its tendrils and a white color, with natural eyes, though retaining its eight-shaped pupils.

As Order was designed by Marina initially to be an AI within her realm of “Side Order” and a neutral representation of the desires and hopes of all who want stability, Order is somewhat robotic and dislikes chaos, only wanting to approach things in a mathematically sound and orderly way, but as such is unable to truly understand feelings such as happiness and wants to stop change permanently, seeing it as disorderly. Although it is for the most part emotionless it can be found growing angry, lashing out and assuming that all feelings and connections must be chaotic, and harming others without any qualms to do so, only caring for Marina, its creator, and as such lashing out again when Marina denounces its plan.
Order is young however, and once defeated shows a more youthful persona, being a somewhat clingy young troublemaker octopus who likes the idea of order and speaks in a baby voice, becoming much less of a threat. When later defeated he called himself weak while Pearl said he was strong and deiced to look away while you reformat the palette. When you beat him with 8's palette he hopes to battle you more.

Sanitized Octarians usually resemble tentacles rather than full octopi. They are blue & teal colored, with their suckers present on the teal side of their bodies, googly teal and black eyes, neon green lips, and tiny legs in black boots. They come in a variety of forms, and the line is often blurry when it comes to what is an Octarian and what is mechanical, suggesting they may use some manner of biotechnology. Their voices sound more digital and compressed and when splatted they briefly leave glowing blue pixels and glitch-like squares. Instead of the glitter-like effect that ink has in Octo Canyon, the Sanitized Octarians' ink looks more like soapy water or dish soap.

Agnès described her as utterly subservient to Backbeard's will, unable to escape his thrall, [3] however she was just partly right: Adél believes in her destiny as much as she loves her sister, thus since they were little girls she pushed herself to serve Backbeard and improve her powers to gain enough leverage to sacrifice herself in Agnés' stead, suffering in silence and she was unable to tell her about her ideas. [4]
Only when her ill-concocted, desperate plan fails her "true" personality surfaces, as a meek, motherly figure ready to do anything for her little sister, including giving away her life and pride. [2]

Having witnessed in the past her mother sacrifice herself to Backbeard, Agnès started fearing being close to people, pushing away Mana and explaining her that since everyone close to her is bound to suffer or die because of her circumstances, she's willing to suffer alone knowing that everyone else will be safer.
Despite that, she can be reckless enough to be far less stealthy than the Japanese yōkai, and still values friendship enough to risk everything for a friend in need. [3]
