** This is answered in ''VideoGame/Splatoon3''. The liquid crystals that kickstarted Inkling/Octoling evolution were imbued with human desires to return to the surface, giving the sea creatures these same instincts to migrate onto land, practicality be dammed.

* If all vertebrate terrestrial life is gone in the ''Splatoon'' world, why are there seagulls flying over Saltspray Rig, and how can there be a "Team Dog"? (For that matter, "Team Cat" can't simply be dedicated solely to Judd.)
** Perhaps non-Judd cats and dogs in Splatoon are like dinosaurs in the real world - they're extinct, but there's still interest in them.
** As for the seagulls, maybe some fish species evolved the ability to transform into birds, like the Inklings can transform into humans.
*** Or the water didn't cover everything and gulls were able to migrate to those places, which were too small to support humanity.
** Also, WordOfGod is that the Inklings are still receiving ancient human signals that were beamed out into space before bouncing off other planets back towards Earth, so they know a decent amount about what the world was like before the Mollusc Era.
* All damaging weaponry in ''Splatoon'' have one thing in common: they involve drenching enemies with ink until they explode (arguably, even the Kraken)... except one: The Killer Wail. Why do enemies hit by the Killer Wail explode in the shooter's ink color instead of their own, assuming the excuse is that the sound waves make it difficult for them to keep their body together? (Note: In the Japanese version, Killer Wail is called Megaphone Laser, but for now, I'm just assuming "Laser" to them is a generic term for a weapon that fires in a straight line that isn't a bullet, and they still consider it a sound attack.)
