All hail Octo-ooze, your first tower monster in Backyard Monsters. Has low damage but has high health. Popular due to the fact its always use as the preferred tower monster in lower levels. At higher levels it still has uses for your army especially in the World Map. Octo-oozes are the preferred tower monsters against outpost especially with Fomor support it can easily destroy Regular kits and Mega kits in a snap.
Also great in Bunkers to delay an attacker's attack due to it being cheap, fast to make and has high health for a monster with low housing. Best use in large numbers hence the term "Octo bomb' became popular same as Pokey Bombs since they have high health and can better endure splash damage at the same time protects itself from the sniper stoppers by attacking at large numbers. The only true counter to the Octo-ooze is the rail gun but you can easily counter it by fling in one Octo-ooze in one direction then a bunch in the other side making the rail gun target the single Octo-ooze and letting the whole bunch destroy it from the other direction.
Now for the stats.
