'''Octoboos''' are an undead variant of [[Octoomba]]s appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear in the [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]] and [[Boo Moon Galaxy]] as regular enemies. In the first level "A Glimmer of Bulb Berry", they are the first enemies to be encountered and they can be found in groups while encircling a select area. In the second level "Sneaking Down the Creepy Corridor", [[Boo Mario]] has to avoid these enemies in order to progress through the area. Octoboos resemble white, legless Octoombas with ghostly tails. They primarily move around by floating in a set area and they can also become transparent when the player uses a [[Star Spin]] on them, thus avoiding any attack.
