"This octopus-like species of monster lives in volcanic regions. When they inhale, they're preparing to spit out flaming rocks but have been known to suck up weapons or bombs in the same breath."

— Hyrule Compendium Entry

A Rock Octorok is an enemy in Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity.

Appearances

Breath of the Wild

They can be found in the Eldin region, where they make their home beneath rocks. If they spot Link, they will jump out of the ground, before absorbing in a large amount of air, which they then use to fire a volcanic rock at Link. The best way to defeat them is to wait until they jump out of the ground, start inhaling, then loosing an arrow into them. They only have 8 HP so most bows will be able to take them out in one shot. Another way to defeat them is to throw a remote bomb into their mouth while they are sucking. After it goes into their mouth, promptly detonate it to kill it. Upon death they may drop an assortment of Octorok items, but they will burn up quickly due to the high temperatures of Death Mountain.

Age of Calamity

Rock Octoroks in Age of Calamity are the most common variants, appearing in an assortment of scenarios. They hide beneath rocks and are first encountered during either the Daruk, the Goron Hero or the Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief scenarios. Upon being defeated, they may drop an Octorok Tentacle, Octorok Eyeball, or an Octo Balloon. After each Rock Octorok is defeated, the player will receive an Octorok Trophy, which can be used to complete quests or upgrade weapons of the various warriors.

Trivia

• If Link throws a Rusty weapon at a Rock Octorok while it is inhaling, it will spit out a brand-new weapon in its place. However, be careful, as the brand-new weapon spit out by the Octorok can do damage to you if you do not dodge or block it.
• Rock Octoroks, in spite of not living close to any bodies of water, may drop dead fish upon being slain.
