"''An octopus creature that eats on the clouds in the sky to keep alive. Violent and very irritable, it appears suddenly beneath Pit.''"
These tentacled enemies are commonly encountered in [[Skyworld]]. They attack [[Pit]] in a similar fashion to the [[Commyloose]], preferring to [[Enemy Tactics#Pounce|leap]] at him from below. Sufficiently [[Arrow of Strength|powered-up]], these monsters provide a good source for Hearts and experience points.

Octos have been confirmed by name to be appearing in the game. Its design looks very similar to its prior appearances, but it is now able to attack by spewing a circular loop of smoke that can either be completely avoided or flown through by Pit.
The Octos returns in this game as a fairly common enemy usually encountered during air battles. Its design looks very similar to its prior appearances, but it's now able to attack by spewing a circular loop of smoky ink that can either be completely avoided or flown through by Pit. During higher intensities, the ink will seemingly be electrified to make it more dangerous to touch.
