Octus is an octopus-based Badnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. It made its first overall appearance in the 16-bit Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and went on to later appear in the crossover game Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for the Wii U, in which they are designed after their appearance in Sonic Lost World.
In Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for the Wii U, two Octuses serve as hazards in the Duel Beach Volleyball event. Here, a platform with two Octuses sitting on it will occasionally move in-between the fences in the center of the field. From there, the Octuses will spit out projectiles upwards or towards players. These projectiles can stun the playable characters (as well decreasing their duel points by twenty points) or change the flight direction of the volleyball.
