Description I tried to make the daiocta really fit with the waterocta from before, so they look like a family. I think the conch-y shell really suits it and makes it look more dangerous (best to justify touch-damage IMO). It can be hard fitting so many tentacles on a thick body, I can really see why the games often reduce them, so I just said the moustache ones can count as two more. It's so weird how the N64 octa had such odd, almost squiddy anatomy, but it helped kludging it with the one mistranslated as "octive" so that justifies the weirdly tall head. And while I made that one blue, I went ahead and went full purple here so it's clear and familiar. Plus I got to learn how to use the hue brush!
Octagon on the other hand is a very odd duck. What's with that siphon/radula combo? Does the hole at the top of the shell do anything?

I mean I didn't make it up XDĀ  and it's kinda weird since it doesn't even appear to be polygonal, they could easily have made the shell more geometric.

shelled otcopods is a little odd. maybe they're closer to abalone. or maybe hyrule just does that, which seems pretty likely for a setting with like-like.

no weirder than a nautilus or orthocones, right?
and fair enough when the bigocta first appeared in game, they took out its shell despite it being in the official art. It wasn't til Mujura's Mask that they put it back, just like young Link's baldric
