Commander Tartar is the antagonist of Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, released in 2018, where he first appears as a seemingly helpful telephone guiding Agent 8 through underground test chambers. The reveal that the polite telephone is actually a genocidal AI gives the ring a lasting dark-comedy edge, and clips of his calls have circulated among Splatoon fans on YouTube, TikTok and Discord ever since. Creators still reuse the sound because a few seconds of that familiar ring instantly signals a calm, sinister authority figure about to deliver bad news.

Commander Tartar's telephone sound from Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, a short ominous ring used in memes and edits for villain reveals and creepy call moments.
This is the brief telephone sound associated with Commander Tartar, the hidden antagonist of Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion. It plays like a sharp, old-fashioned phone ring cutting through silence, immediately signalling that something cold, calculated and far from friendly is on the other end of the line. Because Tartar speaks with calm, polite menace, the ring alone carries a sense of dread and dark humour, making listeners brace for a threat delivered in a pleasant tone. In short clips it works as an instant mood shift, turning an ordinary scene tense, suspicious or comically villainous in under four seconds.
