The '''Rocket Octobomber''' is an [[Octarian]] enemy similar to standard [[Octobomber]]s that appears in [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]], the ''[[Octo Expansion]]'', and [[Return of the Mammalians]]. This enemy flies and shoots bombs in the same manner as standard Octobombers, but the Rocket Octobomber has two thrusters on each side of its helmet, allowing it to quickly dodge left or right, somewhat similarly to a dodge roll performed with [[dualie]]s. Its appearance is slightly darker as well, similarly to the appearances of other Rocket Octarians in relation to their standard versions. Usually, when a Rocket Octobomber spawns, there is backup somewhere around the area, such as two or more [[Rocket Octocopter|Rocket Octocopters]] or ground support like [[Octopod]]s.
