The octopus is a creature in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Doubutsu no Mori e+. It is a fish until Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where it is reclassified as a sea creature. In all games prior to New Horizons, the octopus is available throughout the year outside of February and August.
While initially absent from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the octopus was added in the 1.3.0 Free Summer Update in July 2020, where it appears all day long as a medium-sized, slow shadow year-round.

"I think octopus, and I think fried octo-bits, eh wot? That said, I have to say my all-time favorite has to be octo-potpie. Hoo hoo!"

"Ah, yes, hoo, the octopus. Did you know the blood of the octopus is actually colored blue? With its eight legs and predilection for spewing ink...you'd think people would be repulsed by it. And yet, perhaps due to its fetching shape, the octopus remains one of the most loved sea creatures!"
The octopus appears in the back tank, staying in the rock crevice towards the right. If the octopus is placed in a home, it appears in a medium square tank with rocks so it can live in the crevice.
In New Leaf[edit]
"Many people think octopuses have eight legs, but those are not legs. Their tentacles are actually arms. They have a strange anatomy, with their head located between their body and arms. The flexible arms are perfect for catching all kinds of crab, shrimp, and shellfish, especially in reefs. When attacked by predators, octopuses emit a black ink that spreads through the water. This greatly reduces visibility and allows them to escape, making them highly skilled at disappearing."
The octopus can be found hiding in a pot in the large pool in the first room of the sea exhibit.
In New Horizons[edit]
"With its eight limbs, three hearts and surprisingly big brain, the octopus is quite the wonder! It is also an escape artist like no other! You see, the octopus has specialized skin cells that can change color and texture with lightning speed.

The octopus is found alongside the gazami crab within the large aquarium that's located in the room in front of the main fish exhibit.

Real-world information[edit]
Octopus rubescens generally grows to a mantle length of 8–10 cm, and arm length of 30–40 cm. Adult weight is generally 100-150 grams, however occasionally animals up to 400 grams in weight have been observed. Like all octopuses, O. rubescens can change its color and texture, making its appearance highly variable. Color can vary from a deep brick red, to brown, to white, or mottled mixtures of the three. The octopus in the Animal Crossing series is the East Pacific Red Octopus.
Trivia[edit]
- In Animal Crossing, on Animal Island it is possible for an islander to catch an octopus if given a fishing rod, predating the debut of the octopus in Doubutsu no Mori e+.
- The fish-drying rack can be customized to feature octopus in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
