Most [[Octoomba]] variants and [[King Kaliente]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel may be inspired from Octoroks due to similarity in their appearance and the fact that they spit objects much like Octoroks do.

Octoroks are purple octopus-like enemies from the Legend of Zelda series. They appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as enemies in the Underground Maze in Adventure Mode, taking their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. They also appear during Versus Mode hidden in carrier items along with ReDeads, Goombas, and other creatures found in Adventure Mode, although this occurrence is rare.

Being one of the Zelda series' staple enemies, some Mario enemies have been based off of Octoroks. This includes Octolots and Octovaders from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Chuckoroks from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Squiglets, Squigs, Squogs, Squoinkers, and Dark Squiglets from Super Paper Mario, and King Kaliente and some Octoomba variants from Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

They also make a cameo appearance in The Legend of Zelda microgame from WarioWare: Twisted!, where they shoot at Link.

These common enemies made their debut in the very first Legend of Zelda game and have been a staple of every game in the series since. They shoot rocks from their mouths at high velocity, but the projectiles are simple to block and do very little damage. Octoroks have low stamina, so they don't pose much of a threat to good fighters.
