Evolution of Octostomp in Splatoon Games (2015-2022)

Octostomp probably eventually died or is still suffering as a husk.

[@보벅스유딩]

Rip octostomp

[@MoonlightStatic]

5:46 He said "AN Octostomp," and "Agent 3 took down ONE OF those back in the day" So it's possible that the one in Splatoon 3 is probably a random one that Frye found, meaning the real Octostomp is probably okay.

[@waffler-yz3gw]

There’s no real ones. AND THERE MIGHT BE THE BOSS OF OCTOSTOMPS IN THE DLC

[@aedaniammx7559]

For everyone worried that Octostomp is well and truly dead in 3, worry not, I do believe those are other Octostomp shells in the background, meaning this is likely another Octostomp, one that either died or was never used. Our favorite mighty man is still out there somewhere.

[@lunalgaleo1991]

Plus, in Octo Expansion, Cap'n Cuttlefish says it's "AN Octostomp", implying that there are more than one.

The idea of frye fighting us with the dead corpse of octostomp is surprisingly grim if you think about it

[@fire4036]

Seems like she made it her style with extra stickers and graffiti

[@GoldFrogUS]

I mean the game lore is literally we all went extinct while the dab lived on this is already a pretty grim game

[@ultrauno-u9710]

I imagine the dlc version of her fight is gonna be a combination of her and octostomp redux, with this intro quote being: (Third time's the Char- "Insert eels flying out of it's face" AUAGH7AGSJDURBRIS-) And a thing that could happen is that when the coat (which is noticeably bulging) buckle is broken it let's out a huge flurry of eels which act similar to tenta missiles

[@Mwilli2132]

Technically it could be an Octostomp shell, since Captain Cuttlefish mentions that that the Octostomp Redux is AN Octostomp. Typically you only use “a” or “an” when referring to one out of many. E.G.: “A rabbit.” “An octopus.”

[@marieisthebestsquidsister]

When I saw Frye's fight with the massive husk I was like "what'd you do to my boi octostomp!" I certainly hope dlc brings him back in all his stomping glory but only time will tell as of now

[@larsthememelord3383]

if frye is in the dlc I hope the octostomp holds a grudge against her and wants revenge for using its shell to house her eels because the octostomp can come back from the dead because hes a special boi

[@edadankmemes]

Some of us will wonder… if it’s the Octostomp shell in Splatoon 3, what do you think must have occupied from the inside? I’d probably imagine an oversized Octotrooper occupying the unit, but consider all the moving parts involved…

[@pigeonmanepic]

Pretty sure it was just the giant tentacle

[@wanou_4259]

The eels from Frye ?

[@toxicv1ncefollower9]

Well dj Octavio did say someone kidnapped or stole his troops so maybe one of his troops were controlling the octostomp which is why it’s only the corpse Maybe it has to be manually controlled by someone on the inside

[@soup5770]

@Happy bluebun they meant before splatoon 3

[@KidzRuleStudios]

It was probably the zap fish. Because you can see the tentacle nab the zapfish, and then he springs to life.

We need a DLC or something where the entire story is about Octostomp. He isthe most recurring boss in all of Splatoon, beating DJ Octavio himself. Don’t know how the could do it, but they could most definitely pull it off. Plus, octostomp could work great as a final boss. Just make him supersized

[@syrusgrove8682]

Octostomp is like the Axe and Bridge Bowser battle it has so many ways you could change it to make it more fun or difficult or just change it to see what would happen so there is so many things you could do for Octostomp battles that the other Octo weapons don't really have especially the Octonozzle

[@UnRandomDeChile]
