I like the Mr. Grizz quote in the "In General" folder of the King Salmonid section, and I thought it might be cool to include more Grizz quotes within each folder. I was thinking these (pretty much all of these either come from the tutorial or Mr. Grizz's lines at the start of a wave)):

(Either The Salmonids "In General" folder, or the " Chums, Smallfry, and Cohocks" folder) - Alright, rookie. Listen up, Vicious, unfeeling Salmonids will approach from the water. Your job is to splat 'em with ink to make them drop their Power Eggs.

(Snatchers) - That filthy Salmonid is stealing Golden Eggs! Looks like they came flying out of the ocean.

(Boss Salmonids "In General") - You've got a Boss Salmonid incoming. DO YOUR JOB!

OR

- The most important part of your job is to harvest Golden Eggs. Only Boss Salmonids have those.

(Steelheads) - This overgrown appetizer has armor all over its giant, slimy body. It also lobs giant, smelly bombs.

(Flyfish) - This glorified mosquito flies through the air in an ink-powered aircraft, launching missile barrages.

(Steel Eels) - This giant eel thing is actually a vehicle piloted by a tiny Salmonid. Don't let it touch you, or it's lights out.

(Drizzlers) - This scaly scuzznuzzler fires torpedoes that create clouds that rain ink. When it's under its umbrella, your attacks can't hurt it.

(Stingers) - This spineless sniper sits on top of a tower, taking dirty potshots at you from the shoreline.

(Scrappers) - This lily-livered coward covers its frail body in shields made of cookware and putters forward, making it a tough enemy to take out.

(Maws) - This bottom-feeding mouth breather follows its prey while submerged in ink, then suddenly leaps out and swallows them whole.

(Fish Sticks) - These screwy Salmonids plant a pillar in the ground, then fly in circles around the top and spray ink all over.

(Flipper-Floppers) - This one throws out an ink ring, then dives into it. Do NOT get caught inside the ring, or... Well, you'll see.

(Slammin' Lids) - OK, these ones ride on a flying machine that makes force fields. Walk under it, and it'll try to squash you!

(Big Shots) - This crafty cannoneer sets up a Big Shot launcher on the shore to fire cannonballs brought in from the sea. Just jump over the shock waves from the cannonballs.

(Goldies) There's the Goldie! This is your chance. Get your head in the game, and hurry after it!

(Mothership) A Mothership? Everyone, just go after it together. You'll be fine. Probably.

(Grillers) Here comes a Griller. Aim for its exposed tail. They say it's what's inside that matters, right? Same here.

(Glowflies) Glowflies. That explains why the Salmonids are restless. If you start glowing...well, good luck.

(Mudmouths) - There's an old saying about Mudmouths... "If you see one pop up from underground, throw a bomb in its mouth." Yes, it is a VERY specific saying.

(Cohozuna) - That is a Cohozuna. Now, don't get squished by it, or that's going in your file. Oh, and it'll splat you too.

(Horrorboros) - That's a Horrorboros. Do I even need to tell you to avoid the bombs that it periodically launches out of its mouth?

Do these seem like thye might be good additions to this page?

It was I who added that notice on the "General" folder, but declined to add the rest. I had initially contemplated adding the shift-failure quotes where he lectures the player on how to take out a certain Boss Salmonid, but felt that the opening quote should be reserved for the King Salmonid folder alone, since it's a more monumental event in-game.

There are a few changes I want to make to this page.

First, Snatchers' appearance in Splatoon 3 should be the first image shown in the folder, to further distinguish them from regular Chum. Second, all enemies exclusive to Known Occurrences should be placed under "Other", as they aren't part of the official ensemble of standard Boss Salmonids. Lastly (major Splatoon 3 spoiler), tropes related to Hugefry should go to New Agent 3's Smallfry, as they're the same character, whom you don't fight against, unlike the subjects of the rest of the page.

What do you think about these?

I'm planning on replacing the current Salmonid image in the General folder with the Salmon Run wallpaper you can get in Splatnet. It features a wide variety of Salmonids, compared to the current one that just shows Chum. Would anyone know where I could find a decent image of that wallpaper?
