Octargon



Octargon is a Mollusk monster.

English: Octargon

Japanese: オクトアルゴン (Okutoarugon)

Latin: Spinosis polypus

Physiology
Octargon is a large Mollusk reminiscent of an octopus. Its skin is colored orange with a large rounded mantle. The mantle is covered in rows of spiny protrusions. Rather than suction cups, the eight arms are lined with small white spikes at stab into prey for a secure grip. They have a spear-like beak located beneath their heads.

Abilities
Octargon shares many of its abilities with Calamarica. They use their spiked tentacles to grip and suffocate prey and use their beaks to once through shells and armored hides. They can also spray streams of water and ink from tunes on their mantles. What makes Octargon different from Calamarica, however, is its ability to launch the spikes on its mantle and tentacles to snipe prey from a distance. These spikes are shot with precise accuracy.

Habitat
Octargon can be found within the Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, Misty Peaks, and the Primal Forest; the same areas as its relative Calamarica.

Behavior
Unlike Calamarica, Octargon is actively aggressive and territorial. It will vicious attacks intruders who encroach upon its territory by launching a barrage of spikes.

Etyomology
Octargon is derived from the words "octopus" and "argonaut".
