The octorok, or most common variety of octo, is an octopus-creature with sunken glowing eyes and a tubular mouth. They can be almost any color, but are most often violet, red, or blue. An octorok has between four and eight tentacle-like legs which are surprisingly functional both on land and in water, enabling octoroks to be truly amphibious. They are known to occupy almost any habitat, even volcanoes and deserts, but are most abundant near coastlines.
     Natural Snipers. Infamous among travelers, an octorok is usually first noticed when a rock or pellet it spat hits you in the face or back. Indeed, most octoroks hide in water or shrubbery to attack with this unusual spat rock. Sometimes this is the monster's means of predation, while other times it is a scare tactic to protect its territory or ward off predators. A typical octorok hunts in isolation using such stealthy tactics, but occasionally groups of as many as eight openly roam across beaches and plains.
     Environment: Arctic, Caves, Coastal, Desert, Forest, Grassland, Hills, Lake, Sea, Urban, Volcanic
