Octopus (Sonic 3D Blast)

The Octopus is an enemy that appears in Sonic 3D Blast. It is a mass-produced, octopus-based Badnik created by Dr. Robotnik.

Appearance
The Octopuses resemble a yellow and purple variant of their real-life counterparts. They also each have a trompet-like mouth with orange lips and cartoonish eyes.

Overview
Octopuses are encountered exclusively in Gene Gadget Zone. In gameplay, they each occupy a fixed position on the floor in their Zone. They function essentially as rotating gun turrets, shuffling themselves around to follow Sonic's movement and bombard him with blue projectiles.

These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a well-aimed Spin Attack, Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
