Launch Octopus, known in Japan as Launcher Octopuld (ランチャー・オクトパルド Ranchā Okutoparudo), is an octopus-type Reploid in the Mega Man X series. He is a former Maverick Hunter who joined Sigma's rebellion.
Characteristics[]
Launch Octopus is a bitter individual who has secretly always harbored contempt toward the humans he was tasked with protecting. In the Maverick Hunter X continuity, he also has a flamboyant and somewhat effeminate side, taking such great pride in his combat skills that he considers it an art form.
Launch Octopus was good friends with Volt Kraken during their time as Maverick Hunters. However, the two were separated when Octopus joined Sigma's rebellion while Kraken refused. When X helped fight the uprising he was forced to destroy Octopus, leading to a rift forming between X and Kraken.
