The Mighty Octostomp (タコツボックス Takotsubokkusu?, lit. Octopus Pot-Box) is one of the Great Octoweapons and the first boss of Splatoon's Hero Mode and the third boss of Splatoon 2's Hero Mode. He is one of two known bosses to appear both multiple times and in multiple games, the other being DJ Octavio.
Appearance[]
The Mighty Octostomp is a large cube, with four different layers to its face being the main base, another square which comes out slightly more, the main face area which sticks out more than the second layer, and the eyes and mouth which both stick out of the face. When on the ground face-first, the Octostomp’s face will flatten, but during combat it will have all four layers stick out; each more than the last.
It is mostly metal with a grey body. The Octostomp’s face is covered in purple ink, with its lips being a slightly darker purple and its eyes being green.
The Octostomp has two amusingly small legs with black socks, which are somehow able to make the massive body jump, although they aren't very useful for getting back onto its feet. Underneath it also has some hanging wires.
On the back of the Octostomp is a small circle filled with ink, where a tentacle can enrage. It can use this to steal Zapfish, but unfortunately also works as it's weak point which the inklings use to destroy it.
The Octostomp's sides and top are comprised of 9 different panels each, which the inkling can use to get onto its back once the Octostomp is stuck on its face. However, as the battle continues the amount of panels will decrease, leaving empty gaps with electric currents coming out of them.
