Pokédex entry[]

Pokédex entry
It's curious about land life, so it crawls from the ocean floor and pretends to be a human. Its disguise is often poor, yet somehow, people fall for it anyway.

Trivia[]

Design origin[]

Anoctopus is based on the mimic octopus, which is able to transform its appearance to imitate a variety of different species. It also wears a pot on its head, which resembles a diving helmet. Its inclusion in a Splatoon reference can also point to Anoctopus being a subtle nod to the Inklings and Octolings of that game.

Name origin[]

Anoctopus is a combination of anonymous and octopus, as well as literally being an octopus, a reference to the obvious nature of its disguise.
