Splatoon 2's Pearl was originally going to be an Octoling
Did you know? Pearl was going to be an Octoling at one point in the Splatoon 2 development. Marina and her were nearly matching back then. They really gave off some Squid Sister vibes, so I just had to paint 'em. pic.twitter.com/PZXzHizI2Y

The official Splatoon 2 artbook just keeps sneaking in super interesting details about the game. Turns out early on in development, Pearl was going to be an Octoling! Obviously Nintendo decided against that down the road, as Pearl ended up being an Inkling. Thanks to the artist ChrisSzczesiul, we can now get a look at what that might have been like!
