Octoman

Octoman is a representative of Takora, a planet currently at odds with the Milky Way Space Federation. The confrontation between the Federation and Takora grows more tense and drawn out by the day. The Takorans are surrounded by enemies and are in a very unstable economic state. Due to this, Octoman wants to win the Grand Prix so that he can pay the education costs of his children. He plans to contribute the rest of his earnings to the government of Takora to give it hope for the future. A racer in the Grand-Prix, Octoman is a humanoid octopus creature with six arm-like tentacles and two leg tentacles. He pilots the Deep Claw, an F-Zero ship specially designed to accommodate his unusual body type. His race, the Takorans, are at odds with most other sentient races and tend to be arrogant about their advanced intelligence. Octoman has a rivalry with Jody Summer. In GP Legend, Octoman is forced to join the Dark Million in order to keep the creditors at bay. His machine has since been improved by Zoda making it one of the fastest machines on the circuit. Since then, he has been one of his low-life cronies alongside Baba, The Skull and Bio Rex. Octoman is usually seen as a minion of Zoda, except for the episode, Octoman's Dream. His Takorian clan has visited Earth and many fans of his want to see him race; they never knew he was working for an evil organization. John Tanaka asked Rick Wheeler to not treat Octoman as a criminal, in order to avoid a political incident. Octoman then went on to win and F-Zero race where all of the other F-Zero machines crashed in a pile-up accident, using the prize money to pay for the expenses of the Takorian fans.
