([https://archive.ph/2UaOd Archived] August 12, 2022, 23:39:46 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are giant, gray relatives of [[Octoomba]]s 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 [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octorok]]s 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''===
[[File:SMG Lava Reactor Octopuses.png|thumb|left|200px|Roctos from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', these enemies mostly appear around [[airship]]s and usually hide in barrels or stand on platforms until [[Mario]] approaches them, after which they will try to shoot Mario with [[coconut]]s or [[fireball]]s as their main form of attack. They are always found in pairs. To defeat them, Mario has to send back the [[coconut]]s they shoot by [[spin]]ning. One pair, which shoots only fireballs in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], must be destroyed by the player throwing shells towards them. 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''===
[[File:SMG2 Octopus Screenshot.png|thumb|left|200px|Roctos from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', they reappear 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 sets of five instead of two. They also appear in the final galaxy, the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], on the [[Grandmaster Galaxy#Platform Planets|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==
[[File:SMGotajack.png|thumb|125px|The unused Ota Jack.]]
*The data for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' contains a model for an [[list of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|unused]] enemy resembling a cross between Rocto and [[Octoomba|Electrogoomba]] under the filename "OtaJack."<ref>TCRF. [[tcrf:Super Mario Galaxy/Unused Models#OtaJack|Super Mario Galaxy/Unused Models § OtaJack]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved February 20, 2020.</ref> This fits the theme of Rocto being "OtaRock," King Kaliente being "OtaKing," and the later Prince Pikante being "OtaPrince."
