Octopus

The Octopus is the second boss of Astro Bot Rescue Mission. The octopus makes short appearances throughout world 2-4 indiana bot,mainly by altering the track around and making obstacles with its tentacles,although its head can briefly be seen during the massive jump above the lava pool halfway through the level.It reappears as the boss in world 2-5 hot date.

Appearance
The octopus appears as a big red octopus(although it swims around in lava and not water)with the titular 8 tentacles and massive head,The big difference being that the octopus has 2 big cartoonish eyes surrounded a metal eyeplate.There also appears to be a lot of markings on the octopus,which only appear when the octopus is mad(the markings light up when this happens).

Walkthrough
Upon rescuing enough bots to unlock and enter 2-5 hot date,it will start out with astro traversing some platforms above a massive lava lake and after reaching a big platform,the boss fight begins.

Boss Fight
The octopus raises out of the lava and roars starting the fight,The octopus has two attacks. 1:slamming its tentacles down and dragging all but some platforms under the lava,and 2:creating a array of platforms and spitting out babys as well as fire enemies appearing(Since you use the water gadget the whole fight you need to use it to kill the fire enemies while punching away the babys).After a bit the octopus will suck up a bunch of lava and spit a giant flaming boulder at the player,the player must spray the boulder with water gadget to cool it off or else it will bounce off the players visor and destroy the platforms temporarily(long enough to kill astro bot via lava)but if you extinguish the boulder in time it will drop to the platform and the octopus will get tired,allowing astro to pick up the boulder and throw it at the octopuses eye turning it pink.Repeat this 2 times more and the octopus will fall onto the platform,attach the water gadget to its mouth with a hose and continue to gush water into the octopus until eventually the hose disconnects and the octopus,in shock will cover up its mouth only to fly into the air and explode into fireworks,ending the fight.defeating the octopus will reward the player with the explosive data trophy.

Trivia
Like all other astro bot rescue mission bosses,the octopus an be refought in the challenge belt,however the level section of the fight is removed.

Also like the other bosses,The octopuses original level,hot date cannot be replayed once completed.

The octopus is one of the three astro bot rescue mission bosses to look more mechanical and biological,the other 2 are the gorilla and the shark.

The octopus like the other bosses will appear dazed and defeated on the world map once defeated for the first time.

For some reason the octopus make elephant noises,both while roaring and throughout the battle,even though octopi do not relate to elephants
