In SMG, a Toad refers to them as "octopuses". Should it be moved? Pseudo-dino (talk)

But there's already an article called octopus. Haven't their names been mentioned in the prima guide? -FourPaperHeroes 18:18, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
Their names aren't in the Prima guide for SMG2, but for SMG, it refers to them as "squid". However, said Toad is the most official source.Pseudo-dino (talk)
So should they be moved to Octopus (Super Mario Galaxy)? -FourPaperHeroes 18:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
That's about right. In fact, I'll do it now. Pseudo-dino (talk)

This honestly seems to be the true "base" Octo, due to the fact that both of the bosses take more after it than Octoomba, and that Octoomba's name seems to indicate that it's just a weaker, Goomba-like derivative of this. Octoomba itself is certainly not a Goomba. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:50, 12 March 2018 (EDT)
