Huge Flotzo

Shipwreck Octopus is a large enemy in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Appearance
Shipwreck Octopus is a giant pale blob with four stubby tentacles. It has two red eyes spaced far apart with a huge pair of pink lips between them. A purplish spot and a flashing star can be seen above the creature's right eye. The octopus holds a big, abandoned ship over its body. The ship is old, gray, and barnacle-encrusted; it has tattered sails, four portholes, an anchor, and a mast.

Behavior
Shipwreck Octopus appears in one stage in the game: Stage 3 of Onion Ocean. It can be found at the end of the stage. When Kirby approaches it, the creature will cover itself with its shipwreck -- it will occasionally if the wreck up for a second to peek out. Kirby will take damage if he touches it.

Shipwreck Octopus is immune to all but one ability: Monster Flame. Kirby cannot defeat the leviathan when it's covered by the ship, so he must let loose his attack when the octopus lifts it up. When hit, the creature will toss the shipwreck up and burst into blue flames. It will disintegrate into a lump of ash, and a portal to Another Dimension will appear in its place.

Trivia

 * If Kirby tries to float past the shipwreck, he will run into an invisible wall. Kirby can travel inside the octopus, but he cannot float up to the ceiling; it seems the only part of Shipwreck Octopus Kirby cannot pass through is the shipwreck itself.
