The four thangs are a collectible in Octo Expansion, claimed by the Telephone to be necessary for Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish to escape the Deepsea Metro.
Description
The four thangs are the 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 liquefy Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish. 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).
Each of the thangs' stations is an empty railway terminal station with the same layout, where Agent 8 can only choose the 
Splattershot and pop the protective bubble and take the thang. The are all named in the format "<synonym of break> & <synonym of leave> Station", and their subtitles are "Here lies the ____ thang...".
Agent 8 takes a selfie with the thang before carrying it back to the metro on a trolley. The loading screen that appears after that, in addition to the metro and C.Q. Cumber on its roof (which is the normal screen), also shows each thang being carried back to Central Station.
Trivia
- The thangs may have been inspired by Don't Starve, a game in which the player can optionally collect and assemble four "things" into a portal to escape. They are named in similar fashion: the Crank Thing, the Ring Thing, the Box Thing and the Metal Potato Thing.
Etymology
- "Thang" is a a slang term synonymous with the word "thing".
