'''Octos''' are dangerous flying mollusks of the [[Underworld]]. Their body shape resembles that of a [[Monoeye]] or [[Mick]], yet they attack much differently from them. | '''Octos''' are dangerous flying mollusks of the [[Underworld]].

The Octos are creatures that are said to be quite vicious in nature. They resemble octopi that are able to swim through the sky using their numerous tentacles. However, they are often found hopping along the ground rather than flying, with their tentacles also giving them incredible jumping ability. Despite their ferocious nature, Octos do not actually feed on other living creatures to survive. Instead, they live off of the moist clouds and mist in the sky, literally classifying them as aquavores. In addition, they can also combine the water particles they eat with chemicals in their bodies to produce a toxic gas, which the creatures store within pouches in their cheeks. Octos can in turn use the circular shape of their mouths to launch this toxic formula as a loop of smoke to ward off their enemies. | The Octos are creatures that are said to be quite vicious in nature.

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. | Octos have been confirmed by name to be appearing in the game.
