The Octopus is a challenging-to-catch marine creature, prized by anglers for its rarity and by chefs for its culinary potential. It inhabits the ocean waters and can be found during summer, requiring patience and skill to reel in due to its erratic movement pattern. Once caught, it can be sold for a substantial sum, used in various recipes, or donated to the local museum to complete the aquatic collection. Its unique appearance also makes it a coveted item for players seeking to showcase their fishing prowess.
