Template:Species-infobox Octoombas (called Electrogoombas in Prima's Official Guide and the Super Mario Galaxy Trading Cards) are enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are very common aliens in most galaxies, and bear resemblances to Goombas and octopi, both of which contribute to the name.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
Octoombas first appear in Super Mario Galaxy, in the first mission of the game. They reappear as common enemies in many galaxies after that. If Mario comes near one, it will headbutt him with its antennae. They can be defeated by spinning them or by jumping on them. Once defeated, they leave behind three Star Bits (if they were spun) or a coin (if they were jumped on). There are also two sub-species of them called Octoguys and Octopi.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Octoombas re-appear in the sequel to Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2. Unlike in the first game, they won't headbutt Mario, but rather, they will spit rocks at Mario. Their name is revealed to be Octoombas by a Luma who guides Mario through a large planet. Two new sub-species are also introduced; Elite Octoombas and Octoboos.
Appearance
Octoombas are alien-like Goombas. Their body style is exactly like that of a Goomba except for the antenna on top of their head. They have smooth, blue skin with yellow spots, a puckered round mouth and glowing yellow eyes. They attack with a headbutt or by spitting rocks, and only patrol a very small set area.
