I saw this Octotok at a local store between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. I wanted it so bad but it was 40 bucks. Might go back and get it anyway (i.imgur.com)

That name goes back to original LoZ, can't change it now. Lots of Zelda creatures were introduced then, it had impressive diversity for a NES game. Molblin, Zoras, Darknuts, Lynels, Like-Likes, Wizzrobes, Peahats, WallMasters, Gohma, Dodongo...

Some had weird names directly taken from Japanese, and some had weird names from localization (...Manhandla?)

Oh I remember them from back then, I just also can't resist a good pun.
