While they knew of each other, Shiver and Frye did not become acquained until middle school, when hey began singing together. They later approached Big Man and asked him to join, as they heard he could play the piano.[1]

Return of the Mammalians[]

Deep Cut appears as antagonists for most of Splatoon 3's story mode, appearing as a trio of looters in Alterna. They compete against Agent 3 and the New Squidbeak Splatoon team to retrieve the different treasures to be found in the world. They appear as the bosses of world 2, 4, and 6, with Frye, Shiver, and Big Man being the respective bosses.

In the last section of the story mode, the New Squidbeak Splatoon uses the treasures they collected to remove the fuzzy ooze surrounding the rocket. After this, Deep Cut appears once again and demands the treasure, only to be surprised when Marie hands it over without a fight. Honored by her kindness, the trio declares that Marie is their new boss and subsquently assist the team to rescue Cap'n Cuttlefish.
