Octopus FAQ
These quick answers cover value lanes, nearby compare pages, and how to use this guide.
How should I use this Octopus page?
Octopus works best as a benchmark anchor for lower mid tier trades, especially when you want a cleaner read on nearby pets before you overpay.
Why does no-potion Octopus look different from the default lane?
Right now, no-potion Octopus sits at 0.9 versus 1.65 for the default version, so the cleaner copy is slightly softer by about 0.75 in this lane.
Which pets should I compare with Octopus?
The fastest sanity checks right now are Shark, Dodo, and Phoenix. Those pages sit close enough to Octopus that they help you keep offers grounded before you move ahead.
Where did Octopus come from in Adopt Me?
Octopus first shows up in the audited dataset through Ocean Egg from Apr 2021. That source is currently retired in the site's audited pet-origin data.
