Octobots are robotic cephalopod-like aliens, created by Giygas, appearing as enemies in Mother 2/EarthBound and Mother 3/EarthBound 2. Unlike most of Giygas' minions however, they have the unique ability to steal items from party members in the game series.
Appearance[]
Octobots are feature of a metal sphere for a head which has been bolted together and, despite their name, have four tentacle-like limbs instead of eight. They have a visor and a nose-like cone in the center of their face.
Variants[]
- Marauder Octobot: An enemy in Mother 2/EarthBound. It appears in southern Scaraba in the desert. Its attacks include firing a beam, stealing an item, or coiling around a party member which immobilizes the target. It is vulnerable to PSI Fire and PSI Freeze (to a lesser extent), and is resistant to many other PSI attacks, including PSI Flash or Hypnosis.
- Military Octobot: A stronger version of the original Octobot. They are blue and they appear in the Stonehenge Base.
- Mechanical Octobot: An improved version of the Military Octobot. They are yellow and they appear in Onett after defeating Ness's Nightmare.
- Ultimate Octobot: The most powerful Octobot in Mother 2/Earthbound. They are pink and they are encountered in the Cave of the Past.
- Return of Octobot: The only type of Octobot from Mother 3/EarthBound 2, these Octobots are not minions of Giygas but were instead created by the Pigmask Army to emulate Ultimate Octobots. Their left sides are silver while their right sides are bronze. Two of their tentacle-like parts are sliver while the other two are bronze. They are found in the Laboratory Level in the Empire Porky Building.
