After fleeing for some time, they will eventually tire themselves out and be forced to catch their breath for a short while, giving more time for the player to defeat them. Octoguys resemble Octoombas, but they are magenta, have a chubbier face, and a calmer default expression. Their antennae have a unique shape, with a large and a small bulb at the end. Their tripod feet are smaller and flatter, and have orange soles and visible suckers like those of an octopus.
