Attention: If anyone knows advanced strategies for specific tier 10s, please let me know! I am making a separate guide for more advanced players! :D

Temperature time: N/A

Octopi can live in the arctic, kelp forest, open ocean, reef, estuary, and deeeep!
Abilities:
Boosting will make the octopus lunge forward and deal 125 damage, using a boost bar.
When boosting, the octopus leaves behind a cloud of ink that blinds all animals.
When an octopus kills an animal, it will disguise itself as that animal for up to 30 seconds, or until it boosts. Hitting an octopus will also remove its disguise.
Charging a boost while disguising will make the octopus remove the disguise without using a boost.
Octopi cannot damage or be damaged by other octopi.
Strategies: Octopi are great for making getaways, but they are not very good hunters. One way you can try to hunt a smaller animal is to get close to them, then turn around and ink them. Now that they can't see, get close to them and try to do enough damage while you still have time. If there isn't any prey around, just eat plankton and AI fish to get XP. If you are being chased, boost away and your pursuer will be blinded.
