NPC Octolings are a bit jarring because they don't act like players, though I find between your increased durability in single player and their poor reactions, rushing them usually works.

Apparently, Marina is 18 and Pearl is 21. Whoa, dwarf squid. At least this means they can get married.

She's tiny because her height was stunted by jellyfish shocks.

Do Inklings and Octolings have similar lifespans and aging as humans?

I'm asking because I'm pretty sure there's actually an answer to this because this game has surprisingly detailed lore

Bold assumption that they can die. Agent 8�s failures didn�t stop them

At the very least, we know that they mature at roughly equal rates to humans - most of our squidkids and octo-kids are mid-teens, and S1 mentioned that most start Turf Warring at 14.

Full lifespan hasn't been revealed, but we do know they can live for freakin' ages. Both Cuttlefish and Octavio are more than a century old, and while Cuttlefish is looking a bit decrepit, Octavio is still the octo equivalent of ripped as gently caress for a dude over a century.

And yep, Pearl is actually an adult Inkling. She's older than the Squid Sisters, even. It's a bit unclear if the shocks explanation isn't kind of tongue-in-cheek, though. :v:

Pearl is a pygmy squid actually.

So I can guess why Octolings aren�t on the surface but what about all the other species in the Underground? Do they choose to live down there or do the squids force them down there too?

Wrist Watch: Apr 19, 2011; What?

I�ve only been playing this game since January but this is the first splatfest where I feel like I have an emotional stake in this. You pulp drinkers are loving weirdos and I can�t wait to send you underground with all the other fishy freaks where you belong. :commissar:

Not sure, but the artbook from 1 says that Cuttlefish extended his lifespan by sundrying himself. Though it came at the cost of weakening him physically and left him unable to produce much ink. So he's basically a raisin. No explanation on how Octavio accomplished a similar feat.

You can get chocolate milk with chocolate chips in but, speaking as a chocolate milk enthusiast, it�s total overkill and makes it way gross.

Are the bebop-y and Western-y songs I�m hearing in matches now Octo music? Never heard them before but I also didn�t play for months before the DLC came out so I don�t know if they were added earlier. I loving love them (if anyone has YouTube links they would be appreciated!)

Several new pieces of music got added in 2.0.0. (Bottom Feeders and Ink Theory are the fictional bands making that music) 2 more tracks made by Chirpy Chips (A band from the first game) got added in 3.0.0.
