Description A bit of an update and redesign for the eight armed obliterator, Octopound. The Hexamatrix dial is now imbedded in his forehead and his colors have shifted. As he’s aged, Octopound has developed more facial tentacles and arm spikes. Octopound has learned how to morph the ends of his limbs into powerful spiked bludgeons.
Octopound is aquatic, but can breathe on land as long as he remains wet. As an adult Enteroctus, Octopound has become exceptionally strong and experienced, able to constrict opponents with enough force to suffocate a Vaxasaurian.
Octopound’s species, the Enteroctus inhabit a watery moon called Delmana, sister moon to Delmago, home of the ferocious Bantoks. Unlike Delmago, Delmana actually has land masses, though they’re largely submerged. The Enteroctus inhabit the shallow sea, where they tend to giant, brightly colored coral and sea vegetable gardens, similar to the Octopus of earth. Their sea vegetables are reknowned by chefs across the galaxy and are the primary export of the Enteroctus next to their brilliant coral art pieces, which they tend to and prune as they grow, like bonsai trees.
However, they’re not alone on Delmana. The dark, deep seas and trenches are inhabited by the Birgusapiens (Clawdad’s species), who crawl up from the depths once a year to hunt the Enteroctus. This competition is what made Enteroctus evolve such strength, as they’re designed to crush and eat Birgusapiens in return. Though in response to this, Birgusapiens have evolved even stronger carapaces and more powerful claws. As is the arms race between predator and prey.

Utterly useless and wasn’t considered. Only female Bantoks are real threats, standing at 15-40 feet tall with extreme strength, whereas males are only about 4 feet tall and incredibly frail. If the Hexamatrix had a female host, it would most certainly have a Bantok.

He could definitely tangle with Four Arms or Shocksquatch, though I could see him being vulnerable to electricity. I haven’t decided on whether or not Lex has an Ectonurite, but I do have a Zs’skayr-like plan for Dybboxx and the mysterious entity within him. He’s kinda like Ghostfreak, only knows dark magic and can possess corpses.

I agree, the original design didn’t really portray his potential very well. With this I wanted portray him as more of the brawler he really is, a species that actually looks capable of defeating Birgusapiens, which is no small feat. The competition between the two species is meant to reflect the predator/prey dynamic on Earth and explain how each became so powerful. One in terms of strength and intellect, the other in durability and lethality.

Octopound does have the ability to produce ink, which can be vomited out to blind opponents. He can also harden the ink and spit out tack-like projectiles, but this only works on land, as water keeps the ink from hardening. Like an octopus, he can also camouflage himself.
