Octoroks are purple octopus like enemies from the Legend of Zelda series. The player can encounter them in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as enemies in the Underground Maze in Adventure Mode. They attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. They also appear during about any type of melee mode hidden in carrier items along with ReDeads, Goombas, and other creatures found in Adventure Mode.

The Octolots and Octovaders from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars might be designed as a reference to Octoroks. Octoroks were also briefly parodied in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, which featured an almost identical species of monsters known as the Chuckoroks. Additionally, Octoroks, like several other generic Zelda enemies, had an enemy based on them in Super Paper Mario. In this case, Octoroks were parodied by Squiglets, Squigs, Squogs, Squoinkers, and Dark Squiglets. Most Octoomba variants and King Kaliente from Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel may be inspired from Octoroks due to similarity in their appearance and the fact that they spit objects much like Octoroks do.
