Not to be confused with Squid (Boss).
The Octopus is a boss from Space Invaders Infinity Gene that appears in Stage 4-4 "Genotype". It becomes a recurring unexpected enemy later on in "Phenotype" and "Perikaryon" in the main stage levels.
Appearance[]
It resembles a 3D capsule with 4, flipper-ended legs. It spins mediocrely, and it flaps its arms alike to the octopus in real life. Unlike the Octopus Invader, which is based off from, Octopus is tall, vertical, and slender in appearance instead of having a flat horizontal body.
Attacks[]
- The octopus fires many expanding bullets.
- The octopus grabs the player and fires bullets at them.
- When Octopus grabs the player, this causes the ship to slow down significantly.
- It flies to the top of the screen and sends a flurry of bullets downwards. The bullets when Octopus spins is a surprise attack that will expand in size.
- Octopus also tends to fly about in different angles, going off screen and coming back, leaving a trail of expanding bullets. This is only seen in difficult versions of the game, and not normal mode.
Name[]
It is named after the Octopus invader.
