'''Octoboos'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 28.</ref> are [[Boo]]s shaped like [[Octoomba]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They primarily move around by floating in a set area. Octoboos cannot be defeated, but they become transparent when the player uses a [[spin]] near them or from [[Yoshi]]'s tongue. Octoboos also make small Octoomba sounds if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is close to them. Unlike most members of the Octoomba family, they do not spit rocks.

Octoboos appear in [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]], [[Boo Moon Galaxy]], and [[Flash Black Galaxy]] as regular enemies. In [[A Glimmer of Bulb Berry]], they are the first enemies to be encountered. They can be found in groups while encircling a select area, behaving somewhat like [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]] or [[Peepa]]s in later games. In [[Haunting the Howling Tower]], [[Boo Mario]] has to avoid these enemies to progress through the area.
