- Octavian

Octavian (おくたろう,) is a cranky octopus villager from the, first appearing in. The prefix of his name, "Octa-," means eight, which is a reference to his species. His name is also a reference to Gaius Octavius, the first emperor of ancient Rome, who later adopted the name Augustus. He is most notable for being the only octopus until, where Marina, a normal villager, appears as an islander. His initial phrase is based on the fact that octopi have suction cups on their tentacles.

Appearance
Octavian is a light red octopus with a jet, which is normally associated with octopi, relocated to mimic a mouth. He has a white patch in an "x" shape on the back of his head, made out of two bandages. Being an octopus, his mouth is puckered. He has two tentacle arms with suckers and six octopus legs, adding up to be eight, as a real octopus would have. He has puffy, puckering cheeks with peachy blush marks and angry-looking, squinted eyes. His initial shirt is the Big Star Shirt. He will also carry a melon umbrella on rainy days.

Personality

Octavian is a cranky villager. He may come off as rude, but he will eventually befriend the player after talking to and assisting him. As a cranky villager, he will get along with normal, snooty, and other cranky villagers, but he may quarrel with others.

House
Octavian's house has the Space Theme like Ribbot, with the Lunar Horizon (a star-clustered wall) and the Lunar Surface (a cratered, moon floor). He has the Rocket, Space Shuttle, Flying Saucer, a Satellite, a Lunar Rover, Spaceman Sam, two Asteroids, the Robo-Chair, and the Robo-Stereo that plays K.K. D & B. This song (and the electronic beeping noises from the Flying Saucer) gives his home an intense space mission feel, due to the sound textures of each item. As with all villagers, items in his house may be removed or replaced after the player sends him new wallpaper, carpet, furniture and/or articles of clothing through the mail service.
