Roctos[1][2] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are giant, gray relatives of Octoombas with many pale spots and a blue antenna. They are larger than the Octoombas and their torsos have two large coils, with four cephalopod arms appearing from the bottom. They are capable of firing projectiles from their funnels. They are based off the Octoroks from the The Legend of Zelda franchise, particularly in the 3D games, where they can be defeated by deflecting their projectiles back at them in the same way as Roctos.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, these enemies mostly appear around airships, are always found in pairs, and have two varieties. The first type hides in a large barrel until approached, after which it will emerge and occasionally shoot a coconut (with a high-pitched squeak) or a fireball (with an even higher-pitched squeak) towards Mario. If he gets too far away from one, it will duck back into its barrel until he draws closer again. To defeat this type, Mario has to send back the coconuts they shoot by spinning when the coconut gets close, making it deflect and hit the Rocto instead. The second type lacks a barrel, simply standing on the ground, and as such constantly shoots regardless of how far away Mario is, even when he is not even in their line of fire. This type only shoots fireballs, and as such can only be defeated with a thrown Koopa Shell. Roctos usually guard bridges that will be released upon their defeat. The leader of the Roctos, King Kaliente, is fought twice as a boss.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, only the barrel-hiding type reappears in the Shiverburn Galaxy where they act as the final enemy defense before facing Prince Pikante, another boss Rocto. Similarly to the first game, they guard a pathway (of rock over lava) that Mario must use to progress. However, unlike the previous game, they are found in varyingly sized groups rather than in pairs. They also appear in the final galaxy, the Grandmaster Galaxy, on the Platform Planet; this is their only appearance where defeating them is not mandatory to progress forward. They still shoot coconuts and fireballs in this game.

Trivia
- The data for Super Mario Galaxy contains a model for an unused enemy resembling a Rocto with short suction cup-shaped arms under the filename "OtaJack."[11] This fits the theme of Rocto being "OtaRock," King Kaliente being "OtaKing," and the later Prince Pikante being "OtaPrince."
