The Octoling uses Ink Armor, and folds their arms. The Octoling runs in place with the Baller, and it explodes. If it hits an enemy, they are knocked in front of the Octoling and repeatedly smashed before being knocked far away by one final hit. The Octoling fires a shot with a blaster, which is very similar to Explosive Flame but is not a multi-hit.Īn Ultra Stamp appears in the Octoling's hands, and they swing it once. Not as much vertical height as a Super Jump, but more offensive power. The Octoling jumps into the air and, after a moment, splashes down, dealing damage and knockback.

Similar to enemy Octolings, the end of their fingers are semi-sharp, but the playable Octolings do not have these ends being tinted in their ink color. Their ears are round and asymmetrical, with the right side being flat and the left side being indented, each respectively resembling the fin and siphon on an octopus. Their teeth are also different, having one sharp end tooth on their left side on the top, and another sharp tooth on the right side on the bottom. Octolings do not have their markings connect over the middle, having it separated compared to Inklings. The humanoid form has black markings around their eyes, with both genders having two sharp edges and a thicker underline, where the female Octoling has an added dash to their markings. The tip of their tentacles, as well as the head, have a ring pattern on them. The suction cups are located on the underside of their tentacles, as opposed to their humanoid form having suckers on the top side. Their octopus form is widely different to the Octarian ones, with two long tentacles in the middle that helps them move, two smaller ones in front that resembles a mustache, and four smaller ones on the underside, along with a pair of eyes that are separated and resemble an Inkling squid's eyes. Like Inklings, Octolings can switch between a humanoid form and an octopus form. This happened during the "Enter the Octobot King!" mission of the first game. Many (but not all) of them escaped to Inkling society in Inkopolis afterwards, hoping to start anew. The playable Octolings were once fighters in the Octarian military, brainwashed by the music of DJ Octavio, but when they heard the Calamari Inkantation, it nullified the brainwashing effect, freeing their souls from the oppression.
