If a species doesn’t have any visible nasal passage, where would a NG tube go?
Into the mouth and held by tape near the lip
Into a deep hole near the head (NOT invading into the brain. Maybe.)
Into the beak (Pretty painful and might require surgical intervention.)
Other (Please share your thoughts, I desperately need them)
Example: NG Tube Placement in Humans
This is for a future project that I will not reveal just yet. In the Splatoon universe, though. The second option is probably the most painful, but may work for the horror setting. And add additional complications, of course. Which might work. Especially if the first option is chosen.

Acclimating to having to supervise ng feedings every 3 hours for 30 minutes (which actually usually stretches into more of a 60 minute ordeal) is a challenge. It’s certainly different, that’s for sure. I take time to adjust to different. Right now it feels as if I have no time for anything, even when I manage to get an hour to myself, time feels short.
it's literally been like four years since i had a nasogastric tube i freaking hated mine i'm so glad i don't have one anymore (◡‿◡✿)
IM SO FUCKING AWAKE I HATE EVERHTHING
my fucking ng tube connecter thing fell out fucking twice in the middle of the night and I woke up in a pile of this gross ass formula. that was at 1:30. it's now 4:10ish and I've been drifting all night only to wake up violently every other minute because I'm terrified the fucking thing fell out again. this sucks and I'm sticky and smell like formula :((( and I thought school might actually be a plausible thing today. ha.
Practiced doing an NG tube today on practice models! Really interesting and easy to do on the models, but hearing horror stories about my prof being puked on makes me less stoked for the real thing.
Feeding tubes.
So I saw my doctor this week or was it last week. Effing memory problems. But anyway I did see him. And we spent awhile talking about what to do if I ever come close to needing a feeding tube again like I almost did this fall. I am so glad he respected my choices. I've had a nasogastric tube before and my autistic reflexes almost made me rip the thing out. I managed to get through that autistic sensory issues are more than just "nobody likes nasogastric tubes". So despite possible complications we decided it would be feeding by PICC line until a j-tube or something similar could be put in. And... I hate to even have this conversation, it makes me very nervous. But I kind of feel more comfortable having had it. I'd hate to have them shoving an NG tube in without even discussing it with me, or having it be up to some idiot straight out of his residency who wouldn't care about safety. My DPA made it quite clear if they did an NG tube they'd have to sedate me into near unconsciousness to keep me from ripping it out without even wanting to.
