Flooder

"Flooders... These things can't be destroyed."

- Cap'n Cuttlefish

Flooders are invincible Octarian machines that appear in Octo Valley.

Description
Flooders are large, cylindrical machines held up by four legs with wheels. They have a flat top, two purple eyes, and a nose-like knob. They shower Octarian Ink from their undersides, coating all surfaces underneath them and instantly splatting any Inklings caught in the torrent. In this way, they are like circular Splash Walls, though their Ink is unlimited and they cannot be destroyed.

They are restricted to move along perpendicular pathways, and will rush towards Agent 3 upon seeing them. This can be avoided by hiding in Ink, moving out of view, or leaving the Flooder's designated pathway.

Flooders may have an Octarian, a box, or a Launchpad on top, serving as a mobile platform. Agent 3 can also use this to their advantage, as their tops are fully Inkable and Flooders cannot look up.
