The four thangs are collectibles in the Octo Expansion, claimed by the Telephone to be necessary for Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish's escape from the Deepsea Metro, and into the "promised land".
Description
The four thangs resemble pieces of a giant blender, which the Telephone promises will produce a doorway to the "promised land". In reality, it intends to use the blender to blend Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish into a "primordial ooze", which it plans on using to wipe out all life on Earth and replace it with a new species of its own liking. The thangs are as follows:
- The foundational thang, the blender's base and motor (found in B09 Grab & Go Station).
- The surrounding thang, the blender's jug (found in E02 Bust & Run Station).
- The precision thang, the blender's blade (found in C13 Smash & Dash Station).
- The sealing thang, the blender's cap (found in H06 Break & Bounce Station).
Whenever the player unlocks a line containing a thang, the station that contains it is marked on the Deepsea Metro map. Each of the thangs' stations are empty railway terminals with the same layout and do not cost anything to enter. #19 bless plays in these stations, unless the thang is already collected, in which case no music is played. Agent 8 can only choose the Splattershot, with no objectives other than popping the protective bubble around the thang and collecting it. The protective bubble is similar to the Rainmaker's shield, albeit much more durable, requiring almost the entire ink tank's capacity to break. These stations are all named after synonyms of 'break' and 'leave' and their subtitles are all "Here lies the [name] thang..." After breaking the shield, Agent 8 takes a selfie with the thang using the CQ-80 before taking it back to the train on a trolley. The loading screen that appears afterwards shows the thang being carried back to Central Station as well as the normal imagery. The Telephone then congratulates the player on finding the thang.

- If the player revisits the stations originally containing the thangs after collecting them, music no longer plays in the station and there are no collectibles present, unlike Octo Canyon having substitutes replacing the Zapfish once they are collected.

- There seem to be thangs on the NILS Statue.
- The thangs composing the giant blender in the cutscene seem larger than when collected from each station.
