Octohoppers are a type ofOctarian and an enemy inReturn of the Mammalians inSplatoon 3.

Description

Octohoppers are a variant ofOctotroopers and very similar to them in design, but they ride a differently-designed vehicle resembling a pogo stick. This vehicle is composed of a spring-like post, a yellow base (which is more rectangular than that of an Octotrooper's vehicle), and a bucket-like nozzle used to flingink similarly to aSlosher, which is how Octohoppers attack. They constantly jump up and down and actively pursue the player upon noticing them. It is also mentioned that they (apparently) hate puns.

There is also anOctodiver variant of the Octohopper that emerges from enemyink upon the player's approach.

Trivia

  • The Octohopper has slightly more health than the regularOctotrooper and its variants. Notably, this lets the enemy survive one hit from theSlosher.
  • When an idle Octohopper patrols along a circular path, it can turn in mid-air, moving along a curved path.
  • During combat Octohopper will try to maintain some distance from the player. This can be used to force one off a ledge and off the map.
  • Unlike other Octotrooper-type enemies, the Octohopper does not use its weapon nozzle to ink ground under itself while idle. Instead, ink seems to spill from the underside of the vehicle.
