==Description==
==Description==
Octoballers are large bowling balls with an [[Octotrooper]] inside one of the finger holes. They roll until anything solid gets in the way, or if the player splats the [[Octarian]] inside of them using their weapon or a [[Gusher]]. They [[ink]] a path in a straight line from where they were launched and are usually launched alternating left and right. When splatted, they give no [[Power Egg]]s unless they are rare yellow Octoballers, which give ten, or Kingpin Octoballers, which give twenty. Despite having the word 'Baller' in their name, Octoballers' balls are designed to resemble bowling balls and have no connection to the [[Baller]] [[special weapon]]. They are adorned with an emblem on the side, which looks like a circle of arrows pointing to the center of the side of the ball. There also exists a giant version known as a Kingpin Octoballer, which holds two Octotroopers inside of a glass cockpit replacing the holes. They can be splatted only by pushing them off the stage with an extending platform, or if the player uses an [[Ink Cannon]] to hit the Octarians inside. The balls are deployed from a bowling alley-style launcher, which makes noise before the Octarian pops its head out of the ball, then the ball starts rolling. The Octarian inside a regular Octoballer ducks its head inside its hole whenever it nears the ground.

When splatted, Octoballers give no [[Power Egg]]s unless they are the less common gold Octoballers, which give ten, or Kingpin Octoballers, which give twenty.
 
==Attacks==
Octoballers are fired from cannons and roll on the ground, splatting anything that gets in the way. They can be destroyed by attacking the [[Octotrooper]]. Some Octoballers do not leave behind a trail of [[ink]]. Kingpin Octoballers move more slowly, but they can only be destroyed with [[Ink Cannon]]s. Being as wide as the lane they appear on, they are very difficult to avoid. However, it is possible to dodge them by submerging in ink on the very edge of the platform.

Octoballers are Octarian enemies found in Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, and Return of the Mammalians.

Description

Octoballers are large bowling balls with an Octotrooper inside one of the finger holes. They roll until colliding with anything solid (including the player), at which point they explode in ink. Most Octoballers leave behind a trail of ink as they roll. They can be splatted by attacking the Octarian inside with ink or hitting them with an active Gusher, Ink Cannon, or Splashdown; inking the bowling ball part with anything other than a Gusher, Ink Cannon, or Splashdown has no effect. The Octarian inside the ball ducks its head inside its hole whenever it nears the ground, making it briefly invincible to most attacks until it pokes its head back out when no longer near the ground. They are usually fired from launchers that indefinitely produce Octoballers that roll in a straight line from where they were launched; most of these launchers come in pairs side-by-side that alternate between the left and right launchers firing Octoballers. When deploying an Octoballer, the launcher first produces the ball and makes noise before the Octarian pops its head out of the ball, then the ball starts rolling. The balls are adorned with an emblem on the side, which looks like a circle of arrows pointing to the center of the side of the ball. There also exists a giant version of the Octoballer known as a Kingpin Octoballer, which only appears in Octo Canyon. Kingpin Octoballers move more slowly and hold two Octotroopers inside of a glass cockpit replacing the holes, and can only be splatted by pushing them off the stage with an extending platform or by shooting the cockpit with an Ink Cannon to hit the Octarians inside. When splatted, Octoballers give no Power Eggs unless they are the less common gold Octoballers, which give ten, or Kingpin Octoballers, which give twenty.
