@sixstibnite@319Cheng that and it seems the models of pearl and marina are smaller when actually put next to the player character in game. this is what i meant when i said there was some height fuckery afoot
ok update: there seems to be some height fuckery afoot and liberties taken in scaling during cutscenes and in amiibo mode. so i think pearl and marina's models might give a more accurate sense of scale
a cursed idea crossed my mind: how tall would cap'n cuttlefish be if he wasn't hunched over?
its not perfect, but i think it gets the idea across... and maybe could serve as an example of how tall a younger adult inkling male might look?

Barret is quiet by nature and only utters simple sentences, but this barreleye loves to bang on his drums at any opportunity he can get. He didn't really care what direction the band went in, he was just there for the ride. He's still an active drummer to this day.
also this passage from the first artbook is what has led people to reasonably believe octolings to be born from cuttings, as well as this image from haikara walker, but this could just be a concept (its a misaligned soldier that transformed out of loneliness)
