'''Octoroks''' | '''Octoroks''' are common enemies in the ''Legend of Zelda'' series, appearing in most games. To attack, they spit out rocks, which can usually be deflected by a [[shield]], and sometimes even a [[sword]] swing. | ||

A prototype screenshot showed them more like they appeared previously, in a variety of sizes, and all red. The final game also has a miniboss version called [[Big Octo]].

Their rocks can be stopped with a shield or a sword swing, although unlike the nuts of [[Business Scrub]]s, they do not bounce back as a projectile. There is also a special '''Golden Octorok''' that appears after a [[Kinstone]] fusion that drops many Rupees. A boss called [[Big Octorok]] appears as well in the [[Temple of Droplet]]s, though it is actually a normal-sized Octorok with a plant on its back being encountered by a shrunk Link. When Link first meets [[Ezlo]], he is being harassed by a group of Octoroks. At the end of the game, after [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] makes her wish with Ezlo's magic cap, the Octoroks are shown vanishing one by one from Minish Woods. | |||

They have numerous varieties in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild]]'', based off their various past behaviors. All Octoroks have a very long range that they can spit their rocks, which they do in a large arc. Once again, Shield Bashing is necessary to bounce the rocks back to the Octorok. They typically hide under some type of object with the aide of a sucker over their mantles, and will poke their heads out into the open if the object is destroyed or disturbed. Some have similar behavior to the ground-based ones in ''Skyward Sword'', with plant-hiding ones called '''Forest Octoroks''' being green and rock-hiding ones called '''Rock Octoroks''' being gray, with the latter type being able to use their mouths as a powerful vacuum. This vacuuming sucks up rocks for them to spit in a fiery blast, but can also suck up equipment, which can actually be used to replace rusty weapons with better ones or blow the Octorok up with a bomb. A blue variant of the grass-hiding type called '''Snow Octorok''' lives in snow and is able to tunnel through it to approach Link. Blue grass-hiding ones can also be found in the water, where they are called '''Water Octoroks'''. Water Octoroks cannot move through the water, and will inflate and float above the surface if it rains, resembling the octoballoon from ''A Link to the Past''. There is also a rare golden type called a '''Treasure Octorok''' that disguises itself as a buried treasure chest, and dashes around erratically if approached. They can be told apart from real buried treasure chests in that theirs do not react to [[Magnesis]]. When defeated, Octoroks typically give a fish (regardless of location) along with body parts that include eyes, arms (erroneously called tentacles), or their inflatable sac, itself called an [[Octo Balloon]]. Treasure Octoroks give varying amounts of Rupees, being among the few enemies in the game to do so. | |||
In the first DLC pack, [[The Master Trials]], mauve | In the first DLC pack, [[The Master Trials]], mauve '''Sky Octoroks''' are added, resembling a cross between the octoballoon and the sky-based Octoroks in ''Skyward Sword''. They do not carry anything on their heads, although they have a sucker to. They cannot attack nor do they give recoverable materials, but instead have platforms tied to the arms of groups of around three or four Sky Octoroks. These platforms can contain enemies and treasure chests. They typically float around [[Sheikah Tower]]s, and can respawn without the aide of the [[Blood Moon]]. | ||

The rock can be deflected via shielding, which can hit the Octorok if it is above ground. The player can also defeat it by approaching it before it hides underground. This is the same attack pattern used by [[Deku Scrub]]s, except the player can occupy the same space if it is underground. | |||
