I think it's about time Splatoon gets a nightmarish image to go along with the page. But there are so many to choose from. I have a few suggestions...

This picture right here features one of the most terrifying Salmonids I have ever faced. Maws.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/636361707843255394_splatoon2_scrn_salmonrun05.jpg

There some Sunken Scrolls that could be nightmarish.

Sunken Scroll 17

The description for this sunken scroll is great:

"When smoke rises from the seven rings, The [sic] pinkfish will emerge from the sea, devouring all the creatures of the land." -The Book of Madai, chapter 10, verse 10

Sunken Scroll 18

As for the first Splatoon, there's not image I could find except Sunken Scroll 26. But that is a bit of spoiler for those who haven't played...

Sunken Scroll 26

The Maws pic works. The caption idea for it makes it even better. [tup]

The suggestions are either far too busy or, in the case of the last one, a bit too humorous. Not a fan of any of them.

[up] Not sure what's so busy about the Sunken Scrolls. If it's the background, we can always crop it to feature just the picture.

But just in case:

A Maw Official Artwork

Maws from the Manuel

Steel Eel

Another Steel Eel

I still prefer the Maw or the Sunken Scroll with the apocalyptical verse.

The Maw pic from the OP or the first scroll pic work best for me.

Scroll 17 gets my vote. Not too busy and the description goes very well with it also. MAWS is a little messy thanks to the ink, and isn't really... scary.

So we have 4 for Maws, and 3 for the Sunken Scroll 17. And 1 for neither. A slight edge for Maws, but that can change.

[up] As for the ink problem, if someone can find a Maws eating an Inkling without as many ink particles, that would be nice.

BTW, should we have a crowner for this thread?

Scroll 17 is good due to how barbaric salmonids are although their hilarious appearance. It also is an interesting "SWITCH" from vibrant colors to a black and white, ominous painting on par with the noises from the first game. Also, I really can't help but chuckle at the Jaws reference that I don't think it'll work.

I think Scroll 17 is the best by a pretty good margin.

I'd go with Scroll 17.

So, it's been a month since this thread has been posted. Let's count the votes.

8 votes for Sunken Scroll 17. 1 vote against it.

6 votes for Maws. 3 votes against it.

Total score so far:

7-3 in Sunken Scroll 17's favor. Seems to me that Sunken Scroll 17 is a clear winner. Let's see what it looks like...

This one's looking clear. The version of the new pic in 17's up and tagged along with the caption; locking up.
