Octoballoons are octopus/balloon-like Time Monsters that appear in both Blinx: The Time Sweeper and Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space.

Appearance

In Blinx: The Time Sweeper, Octoballoons have a large, checkerboard pattern balloon and spotted legs. They come in two colours: blue (1 HP) and pink (2 HP).

Behaviour

Octoballoons typically hover above the ground, moving in circles until Blinx comes near. When Blinx approaches, the Octoballoon will lower itself and shoot a piece of trash out of its mouth in an attempt to hit him. Octoballoons are fairly nearsighted, though, so they can easily be defeated by shooting them from a distance.

Trivia

  • Prize artwork of an Octoballoon in Blinx: The Time Sweeper depicted it spitting out a boombox, though this trash does not exist in the game.
  • In the Blinx: The Time Sweeper Prima Strategy Guide, the Octoballoon is mistakenly spelt as the 'Octaballoon'.
