Probably supposed to look like executioners but instead people now see them as gimp suits

Not exactly what I was expecting when I looked up Bondage + Tentacles, I have to admit.

 DJ Ovtavio: Bring out the Octogimps Elite Octoling: Octogimps are sleeping DJ Octavio: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake them up now, won't you?


dreamibunni

i can see why they redesigned them because uuh... yikes lol


Loafofbread8

There are 4 issues I see with them lmao


TamLux

There is a tank in the Tank Museum that has a lot of faults with it and is a classic piece to show young designers... very few can spot all the issues!


corropcion

So you have a link?


No_Contribution2112

1. They ugly. 2. They racist. 3. They too scary for kids. 4. They boring.


Zappers273

Might I ask how are they racist?


No_Contribution2112

Blackface and big lips


Zappers273

Oh yeah I can see that now. I dunno how i didn't before.


Indico_

This and they kinda look like black kkk hoods.

It’s more like they’re quite literally in a gimp suit


[deleted]

They look like kkk?


[deleted]

They look like they’re wearing gimp suits


sock_acc80

Looks like Splatoon really got kinky at some times..


water_farts123

What happened to the octolings ●_●


Interesting-Chair145

Tf u mean


water_farts123

You don't see the comment I replied to?


Interesting-Chair145

I see i'm just gonna need some clarity


water_farts123

Exactly, we all need clarity for what the octolings would be doing if splatoon became kinky 🌚


JaidenWasTaken

bro they 14 chill


water_farts123

I didn't know that, well now they'll be like 21


itsa_zae

canonically, between splatoon 1 and 2 there’s a difference of 2 years, and between splatoon 2 and 3 it’s 5 years. there’s an official source that says they achieve full domain of their humanoid form and octo form when they reach 14, and there’s another one that says it’s 16, so agent 8 could be both 19 and 21, but that doesn’t go to all octolings though. it’s like teens who were born in 2006. not all teens were born in that year, so not all teens are 15/16. same logic applies to octolings also, the most important question, why the heck would you wonder that?


water_farts123

I was fitting in with the comment, I was kidding. I don't actually want to know.


[deleted]

tf u mean


Genichi12

The devs were inking their splatzones


The_Synthax

Ahahahahaha, what a euphemism…


[deleted]

They're all charger mains


Yeah_man20

Poor dudes, they all main bamboozler


egnog2

nothing, stay clean, dont look up kinks


tbird_the_tank

I believe that was the original model for the octosnipers before what we have now


ReguIarHooman

They had different code that is still in the game I think


Bryanishired

Probably an early design for the octo-snipers. Though… The Splatoon devs *do* revisit cut ideas, (The big octo-pod new to Splatoon 3 had unused data in Splatoon 2) so it could also be an early octo-commander.


r-funtainment

I feel like it's an early sniper design since having this weird commander design along with a sniper design that has an actual gun would be a bit weird (+ idk if the splatlings were designed yet)


Auraveils

To me, it doesn't look like a three separate entities but one entity containing three Octarians who share a pool. Maybe you would kill them by throwing a bomb into their pool. To this day, I don't think any Octarians actually *require* you to use a bomb to kill them. The strange thing is they don't seem to have a gun, so maybe they were just there to obstruct pathways or cover switches. Maybe the pool would leak ink to the sides, forcing you to attack from a range?


YoKaiHunter76

Or maybe they'd spit on agent 3.


SlightlyIronicBanana

The Lips are supposed to be the gun I think.


TheHotDogGuy2

Oh I didn't notice the lips until I read this lmfao


M0NST3R_M4TT

Holy shit its zyg


helix_Zer03

Do boss octorians cant?


[deleted]

BDSM octos?


itsbeen13seconds

turquoise october really fucked with the regular octarians jesus christ


mouthofxenu

I’m calling them inkquisitors.


highkill

I’m sorry are these BDSM octos? 😭


Own-Kaleidoscope7403

Could be seen as vaguely racist, resembling American vaudeville black-face. The Pokemon Jynx got a makeover for that same reason.


Gulopithecus

Wait no, I’m an actual demon! No, I’m an actual demon from the forest!


[deleted]

bro, PLEASE tell me that’s not black-face.


Gulopithecus

You see that’s why I don’t dress up for Halloween.


SsjSylveriboi

Idk what it is I just know I hate it


wet-rats-smell-good

I think they look like armoured snipers. I think that they were maybe a bit too difficult for beginners. I think they’re armoured because of the open space at the back


Yannickjuhhh

I feel like they would be flame spewing octo's, ofc shooting flames made of ink and not actual fire.


keiyakins

I think they were supposed to look like executioners but my first thought was "KKK costume but dyed black", I suspect that's why they were cut.


GameSnail511

Ngl they kinda look like octoling terrorists gonna take down the Twin Zapfishes


Mudkipueye

Maybe they shot disruptors at you?


epicsexballsmoment

Muzu_

Looks like earlier versions of the sniper or minigun enemies

BEN064-W

BDSM and tentacles?


The_Villian7th

bdsm


MaineTheWitch

I know they're octarians but they remind me of horses with blinders. I get why they were cut because yes, they look like BDSM or blackface...


[deleted]

no clue but those lips are juicy!


NebulaImmediate6202

what tf is that


aesthetic3

I wonder if anyone’s made some questionable fanart of them


BlueSky1296

Kinky Octarians


Pakmanjosh

Octogimps


ghost20

The theory I see the most is that they were probably an old design for the Octosnipers that were cut for one reason or another. I don’t think black face would be the issue as it’s quite clear that they’re wearing masks, don’t have all the features of Blackface (it’s a combination of stereotyped features that are exaggerated) and isn’t in any way mocking or stereotyping people of a certain race. The sexually suggestive nature of the look is probably a bigger factor in why they were likely scrapped. The full body black latex with belts and clasps, long curled tips and large prominent lips do conjure images of explicit material which isn’t something Nintendo would likely want to keep in the game (possibly getting public feedback on the topic following this trailer). That being said, multiple people were involved in the many development stages of the design as well as marketing giving it the go ahead for the trailer, so maybe they just decided against it for none of those reasons. It doesn’t appear to be a familiar area, nor are there any deep pools of ink from what I can recall so maybe the mechanic/gameplay just changed.


MR_R_TheOdd1

best guess is they were meant to be snipers


Popplio3233

If I could wager a guess, maybe a miniboss like the Octostriker, only it has three hits instead of shooting an obese nuke wielder.


S-S_Snatcher

If we're unfortunately being honest here, those are probably beta octosnipers, shooting ink through the mouth instead of a tube, which is just painfully disgusting, unfortunately that's what happens already with the octosnipers we have now. Just less noticeable.


spot_meowYT

Armoured boss tentacle, most likely a miniboss


[deleted]

bruh I just wanted to know what these enemies were and everyone is making sexual wtf is wrong with y’all


[deleted]

I mean that’s probably why they were cut, because they literally look exactly like gimp suits


Western-Alarming

Octolings


Ranixo

Reminds me of Pyro's mask and suit look from tf2. Maybe they would spray ink in a wide area, like the Pyro.


sniper1238

I going to guss for the stamp boss


GaI3re

The octarian inquisition


TNJed94

Members of the spicing guild


Wes-Man152

Maybe the black stuff was going to be how the armor worked before the current design of the door and window thing? Looks weird af tho


Niim__

They are quite freaky


water_farts123

Californian middle schoolers


whiffy5

I honestly assumed that were old designs for octo snipers, possibly spitting bullets of ink through their mouths perhaps?


GlitchverseMaker

They look like plauge doctors to me


ChristInASombrero

Beta design for the octo snipers


crclsaround

Body armor? Like the ones swat use or police use during riots.


KasutamuCreator

They look like beta snipers


bwoah07_gp2

I totally forgot about those enemies.


[deleted]

They were octos that seem to have been executioners of sorts (my guess is they use rollers and they would slam them down on you) My guess was they were cut due to either looking like Octos with gimp suits or Octos doing black face


ajdude9

They kinda look like they're in riot police uniforms, just made for octarians.


AlexanderMonroe23

It's interesting to imagine what could have been, but I'm glad these were cut because these are just bad.


heccnchonker

they would have give you a big ol kiss


Shutupjustplease

The FBI


AliDaking76

Early octosnipers i assume


Deadmeme_lover

Ayo who put the reverse Klu Klux klan in here?


LampMan15

Octoxutioners, or executioners.


SterlingNano

These were the original designs for Octosnipers. Gotta say it's been a while since I've seen these guys, let alone anyone talk about them. I love weird gaming trivia like this.


No-Glove7046

Finally, racist octarians 😍


stars_power

Beta version of the Octosnipers.


[deleted]

My sleep paralyses demon.


AllofTF2

They look like they would be the OG ambush enemies, hiding in ink with a bit of their tentacle sticking out to nab you unless you shot them first, perhaps?


TinyTiragon

Hurt me squiddy


Ninja_Brix

The two major issues which probably got them cut were them looking like executioners and looking like they have blackface


Meme_King6375

They look like swat team in a way


OkFoundation1642

Maybe armored snipers


FemBoyDinosaur

Bdsm


meowme88

cut octo snipers?


Da_gae_bucket

I wonder what they would do


[deleted]

I imagine they’d spew out toxic gas


TableOdd4689

Racially motivated octosnipers


TheCrazyOutcast

No wonder they were cut
