The greater blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata) is one of three (or perhaps four) species of venomous blue-ringed octopuses. Unlike its southern brethren, the Blue-lined and Southern Blue-ringed octopuses that are found only in Australian waters, the range of the greater blue-ringed octopus spans the tropical western Pacific Ocean.

About Octro Eggs

This egg was given out for Creature Release Week in December of 2012.

On the surface of Octro eggs is a slippery and foul ink that is meant to deter predators. The usage of ink extracted from Octro eggs can be traced back to ancient times and is still utilized today.

About the Octro Creature

Octro are generally solitary creatures that live close to the shoreline of Ark City's beaches. Due to their smaller size compared to other octopuses, Octro are subject to several predators. To compensate for this, Octro have an interesting defense mechanism that keeps enemies at bay; releasing jets of ink from within their body to obscure the vision of predators.

If there is one thing that both Krah and Whoon can agree on, it is that the Octro is a rare delicacy when successfully captured.
