'''Octoman''' is a racer in the ''F-Zero seres'' who races to win money for his homeworld. He is also a character in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' where he is an [[Anglar]] bent on conquering the [[Lylat System]].

=F-Zero=

==Background==

A racer in the Grand-Prix, Octoman is a humanoid octopus creature with six arm-like tentacles and two leg tentacles. He pilots the Deep Claw, an F-Zero ship specially designed to accommodate his unusual body type. His race, the Takoraians, are at odds with most other sentient races and tend to be arrogant about their advanced intelligence.

As a Takoraian, he comes from a war torn planet that is at odds with the Milky Way Space Federation. As a result his homeworld is economically deprived, leaving the planet in an unstable condition. For this reason, Octoman joined the Grand Prix so that he could use his winnings to pay for the education costs of his children. The rest he plans to donate to the Takora government to build the economical state of the planet.

==Deep Claw==

*Number: 08
*Creator: Kurosuminov Universal Shipbuilders
*Engine: OCT-108x2+ASHI-24x2
*Weight: 990 kg
*Body: B
*Boost: B
*Grip: C

The Deep Claw is a standard F-Zero machine that was purchased by the Takora government to be used by Octoman. Because the planet is not very technologically advanced, the only modifications made were redesigning the cockpit to make it easier for a Takoraian to handle. Because of this it is average in its abilities, making for an easy ride but has none of the advantages needed to win the races.

=Star Fox=

==Background==

A minion serving the Anglar Empire. He is an octopus-like creature that generally pilots a standard fighter ship capable of resisting [[Venom]]'s acidic sea. He acts as one of the base bosses on the final mission on Venom. He taunts his foe for being absolutely crazy to think that they can defeat the Empire. He's also quite the hothead and known to make stupid threats, often swearing by his 'eight tentacles' despite not having that many. He is however, defeated anyways.

During the Ending 1 or 4 paths, Octoman defeated [[Slippy]] on [[Aquas]]. He then was somehow able to brainwash Slippy, forcing the toad to battle against his allies. During the battle he piloted his Octopod ship and hid in various pods throughout the battlefield. Once he was defeated, Slippy returned to normal. In the Ending 7 battle, it turns out he is [[Zako]]'s superior and although not present for the battle, taunts Slippy and [[Amanda]] irregardless.

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*In the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'', Octoman from ''F-Zero'' has been represented by a sticker in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and an Advanced-rank Primary [[Spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His Spirit comes with the extra effect of raising a player fighter's speed. When fought in a Spirit battle, Octoman's Spirit would possess a red [[Mr. Game & Watch]] in a match where he can use his Final Smash (which involves turning into an [[octopus]]) frequently

=Trivia=

*His design is similar to the [[Octorok]] of ''[[Legend of Zelda]]'' fame.
*His ''Star Fox Command'' ship (not the Octopod) is designed like the Deep Claw.
