Octodad's down special move

has a currently unnamed down special move in Fraymakers.
== Overview ==
When performed, Octodad throws his arms a large distance diagonally downward. When used on the ground, he first leaps a short distance into the air. If an opponent makes contact with the arms before he pulls them back, he then grabs the opponent and pulls himself onto them to deliver a tight hug, dealing three hits of 1 damage each and a final hit of 8 damage for a total of 11 damage. The opponent is dealt weak upward knockback upon being released, allowing for follow-ups. The arms can also be used to grab floors and walls, causing him to pull himself onto them, and grabbing a ledge causes him to immediately snap to it. The move is primarily useful for positioning Octodad, as it can allow him to immediately reach a platform or ledge when grabbed. It also benefits from having massive range and quick startup lag. However, it also massively extends Octodad's hurtbox, making it risky to use against an opponent while attacking.
== Origin ==
The grabbing portion of this move is based on Octodad's ability to grab objects with the tentacles he uses as arms in the Octodad games. Being an octopus, his arms can stretch large distances but struggle with precise movements.
The hugging portion of this move is based on Octodad's love for all of humankind that is expressed at the end of "Hot Concessions", the final level of . After defeating Chef Fujimoto with the help of his family, rather than getting revenge for his actions, Octodad forgives the chef and delivers a gentle hug while assuring him of his pure intentions. Although not meant as an attack, the concept has been altered in Fraymakers so Octodad delivers a tighter, painful hug out of love.
