Rinklings

Rinklings are a species that first appeared in Permafrost.

Their most notable trait is that their ink is freezing cold, though it is not be noticed when others are splatted with it.

History
The Rinklings' main war was a territory dispute with the Pyrolings and Skylings. The Skylings and Pyrolings were starting to win, but an ice spirit named Misty took pity on the Rinklings and created the Nitro Weapons for them to gain an advantage. The weapons worked extremely well on the Skylings, and took out nearly half their army. The Skylings fled (with a few joining the kingdoms' sides) and left the war, though many of their fallen comrades' wings were displayed as trophies in the Hall of Wings (in the Ice Kingdom's castle).

After a few more years of fighting, the Sprinklings got tired of the Rinklings and Pyrolings constantly changing the temperature of their water home, as well as having projectiles and foreign materials dropped in. They sent out a giant tidal wave to nearly flood both kingdoms, then got each side to stop fighting and return back to their original home. The Rinklings and Pyrolings never formed a truce, but they remained dormant until the events of Permafrost, where King Chion sent the Frost Army to capture areas under Fire Kingdom control.

Evolution
Rinklings evolved from glacial squids squids (yes those are a real thing) that decided to home near colder waters. Over time, they migrated to colder and colder areas until they eventually got to be tolerant to cold Once they evolved onto land, they sought out areas with the same kind of temperature. Eventually, the cold changed their ink and bodies (so they wouldn't hurt themselves), and their ink became colder.

Appearance
Most Rinklings have an ice pattern on their ink, and are easily noticeable. The ice patterns are similar to the ones on the frozen objects from object mayhem. Their ink is still able to change color however, and can do so without problems.

They tend to emit a cold aura whenever they are around an area.
