## Information

Octoni is Hungry Dragon's first ever boss, and was released in-game on the 18th of May, 2021.

Players can open the portal for 18 hours (1d 12h) to fight Octoni by paying Coins. It costs 3000 Coins to open at level 1, 8000 Coins at level 2, and 15000 Coins at level 3.

## Fighting Octoni

Dragons face Octoni in an arena and are tasked with damaging it by Fire Rush or, occasionally, smashing rocks so that they fall and hit it. As Fire Rush is the only consistent way to damage Octoni, various Peppers are placed around the arena and respawn faster than usual. Pepper placement varies between phases.

The battle consists of 3 phases; the second and third phases are "Wounded" and "Weak", respectively. Octoni spends the majority of its time in all phases in its main form, where two of its tentacles sprout from ground level and serve as targets. It will sometimes change to one of 2 other forms:

* Octoni retreats and summons a circle of 8 purple magic homing missiles that deal damage. These missiles leave the circle one by one and home in on the player, and fade away over time. Octoni returns to its normal form after all 8 dissipate.
* Octoni's eyes glow yellow, he retreats, and summons a meteor shower where pairs of meteors rain down from the sky. The player must dodge these meteors to avoid taking damage. Octoni becomes exhausted and returns to its normal form after a time, and the player's dragon must boost into two rocks on the left and right sides of the arena to throw them onto Octoni. This form is only available phase 2 and after.

* Octoni summoning its purple homing missiles
* Meteors raining down from the sky
* Glowing rock
1/3
When the player's dragon dies, the run is over, but the damage dealt to Octoni is retained. The defeated dragon will be left at 0 health and will not be able to enter the fight again until it is healed. The next dragon to enter the fight will pick up where the last dragon left off.

Dragons will heal over time, or they can be healed to full by paying Gems. The cost to heal a dragon depends on the maximum health of the dragon. For example, healing Umbra from 0% health costs either 2000 minutes (1d 9h 20m) or 22 Gems. All dragons will be fully healed once Octoni is defeated.

Once all 3 levels of Octoni are defeated, the portal cannot be opened for another 72 hours (3d).

## Trivia

* Octoni deals more damage the higher the boss level.
* Octoni is Hungry Dragon's first ever boss.
* When Octoni hits the player with its tentacles during Fire Rush, the player's dragon will not only take damage but also have their Fire Rush ended prematurely. During mega Fire Rush if he hits you, fire rush will stop, and the flame icons will completely freeze!

## How to beat octoni

* Since pets are unavailable but skins are, it's recommended to use dragons with skins that boost fire duration and/or give an extra life. [such as Ashbeak's toucandoit or Seabreather's seastorm].
* When in fire rush mode, go in between the 2 tentacles and spin, thus hitting both at the same time leaving neither able to attack you unless one goes down and comes back up where it'll be immune to fire for a few seconds.
* Don't spend gems to revive your dragons! unless that's your last dragon and octoni is almost defeated. Even though you'll get those gems back it's not a good Idea
* L tier is the smallest tier that can go into Octoni's lair. if you have only L dragons but are skilled enough to beat octoni with only L dragons, put that to good use! It can help get you epic & Baby Pets.
