Octopus

The Octopus is a tier 8 animal.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

Tier 7 animals evolve into octopuses (player-determined).
- 36,000 XP is required for any of those animals to evolve into an octopus.
Octopuses evolve into Humboldt Squids and Mantis Shrimp.
- 42,000 XP is required for an octopus to evolve into a humboldt squid or a mantis shrimp.
Octopuses drop meat upon death.
As an octopus, friendly fire is turned off for other octopus meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

Clicking causes you to leave behind a cloud of ink when you boost.
- If any animals other than octopus enter the ink cloud, they will be temporarily blinded.
Clicking while walking causes you to ground attack.
Charging boost while walking causes you to jump.
Charge your boost when disguising as an animal to remove the disguise without costing a boost.

The suitable biomes for the octopus are the ocean, arctic, and the deeeep.
- If an octopus enters the ocean surface, it will lose oxygen.
- If an octopus enters the arctic surface, it will lose oxygen and temperature.
- If an octopus enters the swamp, it will lose salinity.
- If an octopus enters the swamp surface, it will lose oxygen and it will not regenerate salinity.

This is a complete list of food that octopuses can eat.

Name	Can be eaten by	XP	Description
Barb	All except for the stonefish who spawned it	0	Spawns behind a stonefish using their active ability. Deals damage upon eating it (7% of max life). Poisons anyone who eats it with a base DPS of 10% that lasts 5 seconds (except poison-immune animals). Despawns after 4 seconds.
Bird Poop	All except for lamprey and seagull	10	Affected by gravity. Automatically spawns below any seagull every 10 seconds.
Plankton	All	250	Spawns in the ocean.

Volcano Food	All except lamprey	125	Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of volcanoes, which can be hidden in and are located in the arctic and the deeeep. When eaten as an animal that is not suited to the arctic, it will replenish some of your temperature.
Flappy Duck	Ray to tier 10	675	Spawns in a horizontal line just below the height limit.
Meat	All	1000	Spawns where an animal dies (tier 2 to tier 10 animals only). The amount of meat that spawns depends on what animal it was.
