'''Octoguys''' are enemies appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble fat, dark pink [[Octoomba]]s with lighter pink spots. They are different from other [[Octoomba]]s because they can spit rocks and will attempt to run away at times. They resemble female Octoombas.

Octoguys[1] are recurring enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are different from the other Octoombas as they shoot rocks in an arc and both pursue or flee from the player while attacking rather than sidling back-and-forth a short area. 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.
