The Octarians are a race of octopus creatures and the main antagonistic species of the story mode in Splatoon. They reside in Octo Valley and Octo Canyon, and are responsible for stealing Zapfish from Inkopolis. Their main ink color is purple/magenta. At one point the Octarians were a neutral species coexisting with Inklings, but this ended as result of conflicting interests of territory that lead to the beginning of the Great Turf War (in which the Octarians lost).
Unlike Inklings, the species includes a great amount of sub-species that act differently from each other. Like Inklings, certain Octarians can switch between mollusk form and humanoid form at will.

Trivia
- According to the first artbook, Octarians aren't able to reproduce on their own and thus are created by cutting off a tentacle from a host. Their intelligence are linked to how many limbs they have, and high-class Octarians usually grow more limbs. However, it is not entirely clear whether this lack of normal reproductive functions applies only to the lower-rank troops or to the player and enemy Octolings as well. Based upon the fact that DJ Octavio is capable of creating sentient Octarians by severing his tentacles, it is more than likely that some Octolings at least possess the ability to create lower-ranking Octarians via the cutting off of their own limbs. Some of these, such as the Octo Samurai, can take on more definite humanoid form, but whether this is in fact the same or even the sole process by which the Octoling class themselves originate is still unclear.
- The bassist of the Chirpy Chips is an octopus, but has never been connected to Octarians and bears little resemblance to Octarians seen so far.
- Some characters use slurs to refer to enemy Octarians, such as Marie repeatedly calling them for "Octoslobs" in the Octo Canyon campaign, Cap'n Cuttlefish calling them for "Octojerks" in Octo Valley, and Pearl once calling Sanitized Octarians for "Octo-nerds" in Octo Expansion.
