{{Term/Store|Octogon||Series, OoA}} is the {{Term|OoA|Boss}} of {{Term|OoA|Mermaid's Cave|link}}, the sixth {{Term|OoA|Dungeon}} in {{OoA}}.<ref>{{Cite Guide|quote= |game= OoA|publisher= Nintendo|page= 100}}</ref>


A relative of an [[Octorok]], this enemy is nearly identical to it's cousin save for it's color and size, being around three times as large. This enemy does not really attack in most games, instead, it acts as an obstacle. [[Link]] had a few ways to defeat this behemoth. In [[Link's Awakening]], these could only be knocked into pits for them to be vanquished. In [[A Link to the Past]], there were two varieties: The blue octogons took three hits to kill with [[Link's Uncle]]'s sword. The red variety took many hits before falling by the same sword. The blue kind also appeared in [[Four Swords Adventure]]s, where [[Link]] could either knock them into pits to kill them, stun them with the [[Boomerang]] and slash them several times, or use the [[Roc's Feather]] to jump over them and come down on them with his sword.
==Characteristics==
{{Term|OoA|Octogon}} is a variant of an {{Term|OoA|Octorok|link}} battled in a water-filled room with a narrow strip of land in the center, on which there are two {{Plural|OoA|Jar|link}} that drop {{Plural|OoA|Scent Seed|link}} when broken. {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} circles the room while facing away from {{Term|OoA|Link|link}}, using its large shell as a shield against {{Term|OoA|Link}}'s attacks. When {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} turns around to spit a rock, {{Term|OoA|Link}} can use his {{Term|OoA|Sword|link}} or {{Term|OoA|Seed Shooter|link}} to strike the {{Term|OoA|Boss}} in the face. The {{Term|OoA|Seed Shooter}} can also be used to bounce {{Plural|OoA|Mystical Seed|link|display=Seeds}} off the walls and damage {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} while it faces away from {{Term|OoA|Link}}.


----
After being hit several times, {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} will partially submerge in the water while still circling the room, forcing {{Term|OoA|Link}} to follow it underwater with the aid of the {{Term|OoA|Mermaid Suit|link}}. If {{Term|OoA|Link}} remains above water while {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} is submerged, or vice versa, {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} will begin to shoot fireballs from its blowhole, which rain back down and split into multiple fireballs.


When both {{Term|OoA|Link}} and the {{Term|OoA|Boss}} are underwater, it will begin to attack by chasing and ramming into {{Term|OoA|Link}}. Periodically it will spit an air bubble which entraps {{Term|OoA|Link}} for several seconds if hit by it. {{Term|OoA|Link}} can damage {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} with the {{Term|OoA|Seed Shooter}} as he attempts to swim away from it. After several more hits, {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} returns to the water's surface to repeat its plan of attack. Once {{Term|OoA|Octogon}} is defeated, a {{Term|OoA|Heart Container|link}} appears and the door to the {{Term|OoA|Lonely Peak|link}} is opened.

In [[Oracle of Ages]], it acts as the [[Boss]] of the [[Mermaid's Cave]]. It is unexplained why this creature lacks the ability to spit rocks like it's relative, but the Octogon may explain the origin of the [[Big Octo]], who ultimately took the Octogon's place in later games, such as [[Ocarina of Time]], where it plays as a [[Mini-boss]] of the Dungeon:"[[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]]."
