Appearances
Mario franchise
Some Mario enemies are based on Octoroks. These includes Octolots from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Chuckoroks from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Squiglets from Super Paper Mario, and Octoombas from Super Mario Galaxy. The Octopuses of the latter game even used a corrupted version of Octorok's name in the Japanese version.
In the Mario franchise, Octoroks make a cameo appearance in The Legend of Zelda microgame from WarioWare: Twisted!, where they shoot at Link. In Super Mario-kun, they make a cameo in an issue.
Super Smash Bros. series
Octoroks appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as enemies in the Underground Maze in Adventure Mode. They are designed after their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. They also appear during Versus Mode hidden in carrier items along with ReDeads, Goombas, and other creatures found in Adventure Mode, although this occurrence is rare.
Octoroks return as enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. They take their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. While hiding in the ground they cannot be damaged using any attacks, though they can still be grabbed and thrown.

These common enemies made their debut in the very first Legend of Zelda game and have been a staple of every game in the series since. They shoot rocks from their mouths at high velocity, but the projectiles are simple to block and do very little damage. Octoroks have low stamina, so they don't pose much of a threat to good fighters. |

Enemy |  This monster looks kinda like an octopus, but it shoots rocks out of its mouth. They've been around since the very first Legend of Zelda game, and the Octorok from Skyward Sword appears in this version of Smash Bros. They'll hide underground, emerging to fire at nearby fighters. If you're quick, you can run forward and pluck them out. Since the very first Legend of Zelda game, these monsters have been popping up to pelt Link with rocks, and in Smash Run, they'll do the same to you if you get close. Stand right next to them, though, and they'll hide again. Use moves like Reflector to send the rocks back, or close in quickly and try and throw them.
