Hold W to use your 'Disguise' ability!
(Hint: wait for prey to bite you- they get stunned!)
The Octopus is the eleventh Ocean Animal in mope.io, and is the ocean equivalent of the Crocodile and Polar Bear.
Technical
The octopus:
- Upgrades from the Bear, Swordfish or Walrus at 54k XP.
- Upgrades to the Shark, Rhino or Wolverine at 105k XP.
- Can hide in Whirlpools and large hiding holes.
- Can eat all types of food and animals below it to Squid.
- Is immune to ink.
- Has the ability to disguise into one of the following items:
- Will ink any animal that touches it while disguised.
Appearance
The octopus is rounded (having most of its body parts circular) and orange in color. Similar to Squids and Krakens, an octopus's tail is located on its head, albeit rounded and not pointed. It has four pairs of tentacles appearing on each side appearing as small circles. Around its "tail", few designs are apparent mimicking an octopus's texture in reality.
Due to their ability, octopuses can change their appearance, from seaweeds and kelps, to snails and whirlpools which can be used for both tricking prey and escaping predators.
Strategy
The Octopus' disguise ability is very useful for catching prey, and it's ink immunity makes it very useful against Squids. (Although going after squids is not recommended because of their low XP)
The most important tip with the octopus is to make sure that your prey bites you. If you let your disguise wear off too soon, you won't benefit from the ink that is sprayed when a prey bites a disguised octopus. The ink can slow down an animal, which can potentially allow you to make a successful kill.
As any disguise, you can move around while disguised. However, if you truly want to deceive players, make sure to stay as stationary as possible, as entities such as seaweeds and kelps do not normally move on their own. You can, however, move to either relocate or with the Snail disguise. Octopuses in the Snail Disguise, however, are larger than normal, and both predators and prey can be suspicious and are not easily deceived. Make sure to move slowly and mimic other snails with their movement in order to accomplish trickery.
Your ability also allows you to both hide, and escape predators, as your ink can slow them down if they bite you. Avoid animals with immunities to ink, namely Dragons, Krakens, and Black Dragons, as your ability may fool them, the ink you will spray will still be useless and ineffective.
