Octoroks (オクタロック, Octorok) are common enemies from the Legend of Zelda series.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Octoroks appear in the Underground Maze stage of Adventure Mode, as well as rarely from Barrels and Crates. Their design is based on their The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time version.

As the player approaches them, Octoroks start firing rocks which deal damage and knockback depending on the difficulty: on very hard difficulties, they even have KO potential. The rocks can be reflected back at the Octorok by simply shielding. Octoroks take about 2 hits before being defeated, and they are also vulnerable to grabs.

For every Octorok a character KO's, 150 points are added to their Octorok KO bonus.

Trophy description

Octorok

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.

Octoroks appear as enemies with their design from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. They usually remain hidden beneath a bush, making them temporarily invulnerable to all attacks except grabs. When a player approaches they come out and attack by shooting a rock: reflecting their rocks back at them will instantly defeat them.

Trophy information

Octorok

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.

Origin

Octoroks are common enemies in the Zelda games, debuting in the original The Legend of Zelda. Their exact appearance and behavior varies, but they are always octopus-like creatures which attack by shooting rocks, and reflecting their projectiles back at them is a common way to defeat them. Their Ocarina of Time version is the basis of their Melee appearance, though in said game they are aquatic as opposed to land-bound.
