Ovape

Ovape (オバピー, Obapī), also known as Floatsam, is a recurring enemy in the Bomberman series.
==Description==
===Bomberman (NES)===
Ovape is typically a pink to red ghost octopus that moves through Soft Blocks. They are encountered after the Dorias, with a single Ovape debuting in stage 10. They occasionally chase after Bomberman, but most of the time, they tend to ignore the player. They are associated with the Bomb Pass power-up, and as such will appear when the stage Exit containing the power-up is bombed, or when the power-up is destroyed. This means they may be encountered as early as in stage 9. Ovape will harm the player on collision. They take 1 hit to defeat and yield a score of 2000 points.

Appears in Game B, a direct port of the NES Version. Behavior remains identical to its NES iteration. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 2000 points.

==Trivia==
*The literal Japanese name "Obapi" is probably a mutation of Japanese word "obake", meaning "ghost".
*The early appearances of the Ovape resemble Uotan. Both enemies however have much different behaviors.
*In September 2013, SK Japan released the next wave of Bomberman mascot ball-chain line of plush toys. One of them is Yellow Bomberman holding Ovape.
*Ovape appears as a badge in Amazing Bomberman.
