Despite their name indicating they are Octocopters, Missile Octocopters are in fact far more similar in appearance to Octobombers wearing red goggles and a helmet with a muzzle on its top. This enemy flies in the same manner as standard Octobombers, but instead of throwing Splat Bombs from its mouth, it instead fires barrages of Tenta Missiles from its hat. It acts and looks very similar to an Octostriker.
