Study - River Octorok

Description

"These little ones are an interesting challenge." - Duke Neighleth

Full name and other titles: River Octorok

Appearances: Every Zelda game to date, except Twilight Princess sadly (canon) The Gerudo Wars, Fallen Sage, Time's Menagerie (non-canon)

Design Notes: Ironic how today in my Oceanography class my mind was crammed full of Octopus videos and information. I'm quite surprised to find out how intelligent real life Octopi are... if they were to live as long as humans they would eventually learn enough to become as sentient as we are. That's just freakin' amazing in my opinion. Sadly the lifespan of an Octopus is terribly short, and the Octoroks in Zelda suffer the same fate. These large brained and intelligent creatures have served as one of the most widespread and easily killed enemies to date. Their low place in Hyrule's food chain is about to change however, courtesy of Zora intervention. I decided to keep their design very similar to Ocarina of Time. Much like real life cephalopods, they use water jets behind their eyes to leap out of water and bombard unsuspecting prey with their annoying rocks.
