Octorok

Octoroks are purple octopus-like enemies from the Legend of Zelda series. They appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as enemies in the Underground Maze in Adventure Mode, taking their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. They also appear during Versus Mode hidden in carrier items along with ReDeads, Goombas, and other creatures found in Adventure Mode, although this occurrence is rare. Octoroks return as enemies in the Smash Run gamemode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. They take their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Being one of the Zelda series' staple enemies, some Mario enemies have been based off of Octoroks. This includes Octolots and Octovaders from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Chuckoroks from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Squiglets, Squigs, Squogs, Squoinkers, and Dark Squiglets from Super Paper Mario, and King Kaliente and some Octoomba variants from Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

They make cameo appearances in The Legend of Zelda microgame from WarioWare: Twisted!, where they shoot at Link.
