Octopuses (タコ Tako?) are a species of villager in the Animal Crossing series. They have eight tentacles, two of which are used as arms and the remaining six as legs. Octopuses have the rare distinction of being both a fish and a villager species. This is a trait only shared with frogs.
There are only five octopus villagers, making them the rarest villager type, of which all but one are male. There is one jock octopus, one normal octopus, one cranky octopus, one smug octopus and one lazy octopus. There are no peppy, snooty, or sisterly octopuses.
All octopuses, except Inkwell, appear in Pocket Camp.
Octavian is the only octopus to appear in every game in the series.
