'''Octobombers''' are [[Octarian]] enemies in [[Octo Valley (location)|Octo Valley]], [[Octo Canyon (location)|Octo Canyon]], the ''[[Octo Expansion]]'', and [[Return of the Mammalians]]. They attack by launching [[Splat Bomb]]s from their helmets.

==Description==
Octobombers are large, flying Octarians that wear a helmet similar to those of a [[Octocopter]] but with a different nozzle that the Splat bomb comes out of. They are colored dull orange with two large tentacles that somewhat look like wings and three shorter ones on the back. [[Octostriker]]s are very similar to this Octarian, only bigger with a darker color and a different helmet that comes with a visor. In ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', [[Rocket Octobomber]]s are introduced; these have a maroon color and a pair of thrusters that allow them to dodge from left to right quickly.

Their sole attack is an [[Octarian]] version of the [[Splat Bomb]], launched in a small arc with a few seconds in between each bomb. Their mobility and aim are poor, but they tend to aim in the player's general direction.

They appear to be wearing little skis instead of shoes and they hover around one [[Inkling]]'s height off the ground.
