If octopi were added, I'd hope they'd have more than a single block for tentacles; as it is now, they couldn't bend at all. Long, strangle-prone tentacles are what add the scare factor for me.

I like it, but how could that ADOWWABLE face possibly instill fear?

More "bend" means more polygon to draw, which might be a problem for engine.
Thou if you want bending/grappling, two blocks should be more then enough.

I like it, very cool.

Well, it's not hostile, so there's no reason to be afraid of it anyways.

Instead of hostile, why not make them more interesting?
If a player swim into one, there a chance that they'll latch onto the player for a while, slowing them down. Jumping out the water will dislodge them.

The only danger is if the player was being chased by another hostile mob in water.

I just had a thought; it should have more of a derp face like the rest of the passive animals

No way! Octopi are pretty clever little suckers (get it?). Plus they have crazy eyes.

Sorry for the double post: Update!

Nice

You, sir, have just made awesomeness more awesome.

I would give you a :iapprove:, but I don't feel that is good enough, so I'll give you a .

:tongue.gif:

The textures on the tentacle are higher resolution than that of the face (easily solvable) but I really like your models and ideas.

+1 I hope it gets added.

If it didn't have the pictures I would have said no, but I say YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES. YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

I'm really liking the camouflage behaviour too. Even if the original octopus used it. But only everynow and then or something. IDK, the octopus is amazing, the camopus is cool, and i dont want to meet the hostile occy tbh

i think all 3 octopuses should be implemented and maybe the invisible one could disguise itself as an animal or even an enemy(not actually violent but looks hostile). it should look the same as the animal/enemy but with different eyes so if it turned into a creeper it walks up to you like a creeper but does nothing when it gets to you. that would be cool

I like this idea, and give it the official CZM seal of approval.

Which makes me wonder, how could there be an unofficial one?

This may not mean much, but I dedicate my first post on these here messageboards to you, as you are a genius. This is a great idea for the game, I'd love to see this implemented!

Somehow this great idea got even better. I demand that cephalopods be added to Minecraft immediately!

This is amazing. How did you post your own pictures though?

I uploaded them to image shack and used the "[/img]" tags.

I love the idea. If notch adds mobs not despawning under certain conditions, my life's work will be to capture an octopus or two for my glass bottomed lake floor.. (Giant octopus traps anyone?)

Excellent. I would say invisi-octos would just be normal rare as they would be hard to spot. If they were very rare and hard to spot, you would rarely ever notice them and would make very little impact on the game.

OMG the pink one is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute :smile.gif:

What program did you use to make the models? it looks super great!
