==Description==
== 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 the player if caught in the torrent. In this way, they are like circular [[Splash Wall]]s, though their ink is unlimited and they cannot be destroyed.
Flooders are large, cylindrical machines held up by four legs with one wheel each. They have a flat top and two purple "eyes" with a nose-like knob between them. Encircling the top of each Flooder is a ring of light purple lights. Flooders vary in height, with some (known as Big Flooders) being taller than others.
They are restricted to move along perpendicular pathways and will rush towards the player with lasers coming out of their eyes upon seeing them. However, the lasers do not splat the player. 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 [[Crate]], or a [[Vault]] on top, serving as a mobile platform. The player can also use this to their advantage, as their tops are fully inkable and Flooders cannot look up.
Flooders constantly shower Octarian [[ink]] from their undersides, coating all surfaces underneath them and instantly breaking the player's [[armor]] or [[Splat (occurrence)|splatting]] them if they are caught in the torrent. Flooders themselves cannot be splatted. They are restricted to move along perpendicular pathways, but upon noticing the player, they will rush towards them to the best of their ability, as indicated by a red laser that comes out of their eyes and points at the player (although this laser is harmless and serves only as an indicator). The tops of Flooders function as [[Surfaces|platforms]] and can be inked and stood on, and may have an [[Octarian]], [[crate]], or [[vault]] present on them. A Flooder cannot spot the player if it is under them, including if the player is on top of it. In [[Return of the Mammalians]], throwing [[Smallfry (character)|Smallfry]] at a Flooder will cause Smallfry to latch onto the top and disable it by repeatedly attacking it, preventing it from moving and spreading ink; however, it will return to normal when Smallfry leaves it.

* In [[Marina's chat room]], in the ''[[Octo Expansion]]'', it is revealed that [[Marina]] designed the Flooder when she was a combat engineer for the [[Octarian]]s.
*The Flooder can be compared to {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Splash Wall}}s, as it instantly splats the player, but Flooders move and cannot be broken, while Splash Walls can be broken and have a limited supply of [[ink]].
* The [[Griller]] is a [[Boss Salmonid]] that resembles the Flooder in both design and function. This may be related to the fact that Octarians are known to trade their technology with the [[Salmonid]]s in exchange for [[Power Egg]]s.

“ Flooders... These things can't be destroyed. ”

Flooders are Octarian machines that appear as enemies in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, the Shifty Station Flooders in the Attic, and Return of the Mammalians.

Description

Flooders are large, cylindrical machines held up by four legs with one wheel each. They have a flat top and two purple "eyes" with a nose-like knob between them. Encircling the top of each Flooder is a ring of light purple lights. Flooders vary in height, with some (known as Big Flooders) being taller than others.

Flooders constantly shower Octarian ink from their undersides, coating all surfaces underneath them and instantly breaking the player's armor or splatting them if they are caught in the torrent. Flooders themselves cannot be splatted. They are restricted to move along perpendicular pathways, but upon noticing the player, they will rush towards them to the best of their ability, as indicated by a red laser that comes out of their eyes and points at the player (although this laser is harmless and serves only as an indicator). The tops of Flooders function as platforms and can be inked and stood on, and may have an Octarian, crate, or vault present on them. A Flooder cannot spot the player if it is under them, including if the player is on top of it. In Return of the Mammalians, throwing Smallfry at a Flooder will cause Smallfry to latch onto the top and disable it by repeatedly attacking it, preventing it from moving and spreading ink; however, it will return to normal when Smallfry leaves it.
