Introduction
An Octoomba, once called Electrogoomba in Prima's Official Guide and the Super Mario Galaxy Trading Cards, is an enemy that first appeared in Super Mario Galaxy. It is an alien very common in most galaxies, and bears a slight resemblance to Goombas and octopi, both of which contribute to its name.

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Octoombas re-appear in the sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2. Unlike in the prequel, they won't headbutt Mario, but rather, they will spit rocks at Mario. Their name is finally revealed to be Octoombas. New sub-species were also introduced such as Elite Octoombas and Octoboos.
