The Octs are based on octopuses. They have a cylinder-shaped body with a round purple top, a thick yellow ring below it, and a gray lower section with another thick gray ring on the upper section which hides two cartoonish black eyes underneath a shade on the ring. Lastly. They each have two slightly downward-facing red cannons on the sides.
In gameplay, the Octs hover in mid-air and move sideway, occasionally pausing to fire downward energy balls. To best take out an Oct, the player has to use an aerial maneuver, such as the Spin Jump or Glide. Also, upon their destruction, they will release an Animal.
