The Splatypunk is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Splatypunks are bizarre beasts with yellowish-orange fur, a long fluffy tail like that of a monkey, and brown Mohawks on their heads. They attack by spitting out globs of saliva at their enemies, which gives them their names, or slash with their sharp claws. In some games, they have also gained an affinity for explosive magic.
