'''Octoombas''' are amphibious alien [[List of enemies|enemies]] which debut in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', in which they are named '''Electrogoombas''' ('''Cosmic Blooper''' in the beta). Octoombas are very common, and they appear in several [[Galaxy|galaxies]]. Octoombas are a hybrid of both a [[Goomba]] and an [[Octorok]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise, and their name is even a portmanteau of "Goomba" and "Octorok."

==Characteristics==
Octoombas are odd-looking Goombas. They have smooth skin with a blue head and yellow spots all over their bodies. They have a round mouth, like a [[Snifit]], and attack with a headbutt. Unlike regular Goombas, Octoombas only patrol a very small set area. Octoombas also have yellow glowing eyes and a small antenna on the top of their head. 

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Electrogoombas attack by headbutting [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] when he approaches. They can easily be squashed. When jumped on, a [[Coin]] is always left by them. If a [[Star Spin]] is used to defeat an Electrogoomba, it drops behind three [[Star Bit]]s.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
Octoombas return as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the first game to name them "Octoomba". They were given a plumper appearance, and they instead spit [[rock]]s at Mario or Luigi.
