Yarrctopus is a mini-boss inYoshi's Crafted World. He is fought inYarrctopus Docks at the end of the levelPirate Pier. He is a pirate octopus made out of craft materials. Due to Yarrctopus only being a mini-boss, defeating him does not recover aDream Gem. His name comes from "yarr" (a pirate's shout) and "octopus".
OnceYoshi makes it to the end of Pirate Pier,Kamek appears withBaby Bowser, refusing to let Yoshi travel any farther. Using his magic, Kamek repairs a pirate ship in the background and transforms one of its cannons into Yarrctopus, who must be defeated. During his battle, Yarrctopus remains on the pirate ship, hiding behind three different walls. After a moment, one of the walls will fall over, fully revealing Yarrctopus, who then tries to shoot a spike ball at Yoshi. If successful, Yoshi takes damage. However, if Yoshi is able to hit Yarrctopus with anegg before the wall goes up, Yarrctopus will be launched into the sea and return, angrier than before.
As Yarrctopus becomes angrier, he launches more spike balls at Yoshi each time he appears. Additionally, rocks that appear in the water obscure Yarrctopus, preventing Yoshi from being able to hit him at certain times. After Yarrctopus is hit with an egg three times, he is once again launched into the ocean, where he remains with his hat off. After his defeat, the level is completed, and Yoshi can advance toGo-Go Land.
