Hey guys! I'm going to be revisiting my old Legend of Zelda project, where I drew up every enemy, boss and principle character from the 1986 classic. It was the first big project I ever undertook as an artist, now that I've since graduated school I felt it was appropriate to revisit it with my newfound know-how and improved sensibilities. You can see the 2011 entries here:

Overworld Enemy #1: Octorok

"A type of octopus that lives above ground. There are two types , red and blue. Watch out for the blue ones. They're mean. They spit out rocks at Link."

- The Legend of Zelda Manual

Octoroks travel and attack in groups, using their grinder-like teeth to cut and chew into rockfaces, giving them plenty of ammunition. Breaking down rocks gives these bizarre cephalopods not only a projectile weapon, but minerals contained in said rocks are absorbed as nutrients. Once rocks are broken down to size, the air contained in the back of the creature's elastic and hollow, cavernous head deflates and acts like a bellow, propelling rocks forward at a high velocity out of its cannon-like mouth. Though Octoroks are on the weak side of the spectrum, their size coupled with their accuracy can prove to be quite formidable if not prepared.
