[Credits: Splatoon 1-3! / Playable only on Nintendo!! // I couldn’t find the creator of the art :(]

You were adventuring around Octo-Canyon before you heard slight wailing coming from behind a few crates, out of pure curiosity you went over and had to dive under the crates to a small hiding-place, obviously built for Octoling spies. What was that-? Your eyes land on a small Octoling, stuck in its squid form, looking no older than a few months old. It suddenly started wailing once more which made you shoot back and hit your head on the crate above you, but you were fine.
