“	It's thanks to its power that I manage to unboost other ghosts. Octocat is a ghost of the spectral family tamed to help me.	”
—Myst, "Biballoon"

Octocat is a recurring yet pivotal character of Ghostforce. It is a tamed ghost from the spectral family. It is currently being stored inside its Boo Cap to provide the Boo Energy for Myst's medallion.

When the situation calls for it, Octocat is released from its Boo Cap by Myst for her finishing move to weaken a wild ghost that terrorizes Manhattan.

Appearance

Kawai mode

In its kawai mode, Octocat is a pink ghost that resembles a cross between a flapjack octopus and a cat. It has seven arms that each resemble a cat's paws with three toes. It has two fins that are similar to a cat's ears.

Booster mode

In its booster mode, Octocat becomes a giant octopus with three suction cups underneath each of its seven tentacles. Its cat-like ears are also larger.

Personality

As a tame ghost, Octocat is fully aware that its role is to help the Ghostforce capture every wild ghost in Manhattan. Whenever it is released from its Boo Cap, Octocat would immediately goes to booster mode upon ingesting a wild ghost's fear and helps its owner deboost said wild ghost back to its kawai mode. Octocat would then unboost itself and goes back to its Boo Cap to sleep until its next summation. Based on how it is depicted in promotional artwork, Octocat seems to be friendly and courageous.

Abilities

• Flight: Octocat can fly in its kawai and booster form.
• Intangibility: Octocat can phase through walls, floors, and generally solid objects. The only exception is when it is inside its Boo Cap.
• Spectral Gate: As a power source for Myst, Octocat can create portals so it can travel from one location to another.
• Lightning Speed: According to the 2021 Ghostforce brand deck by Ypsilon Films, Octocat's powers provide lightning speed for Myst. This power allows Miss Jones to create Myst's Spectral Bow.

Relationships

Liv Baker/Myst

While Octocat is barely seen interacting with its owner outside of its summation due to it being always kept inside its Boo Cap, the ghost understands its role is to provide Myst's finishing move to fully weaken a wild ghost before its capture. Upon releasing from its Boo Cap, Octocat would help Myst by wrapping two of its tentacles around a spectral arrow Myst fired to make the arrow more powerful to unboost a wild ghost back to its kawai mode.

Trivia

Octocat on the news while it's sleeping in its Boo Cap.

• Despite its name having the word "octo-", Octocat has seven tentacles instead of eight.
• Octocat is currently the only known tamed ghost to be featured on the news channel. As a result, the public knows that the Ghostforce is taming and domesticating ghosts to capture wild ghosts in Manhattan.
  • Interestingly, despite the majority of Manhattan being afraid of ghosts, the audience at the 73rd Annual Central Park Festival in "Biballoon" found Octocat to be adorable when Myst presented the ghost to them.
• Despite being a ghost who has extraterrestrial origins, Octocat can be heard meowing like Earth's cats whenever it is released from its Boo Cap.
• Octocat's design and having ear-like fins might be a reference to a flapjack octopus.
  • The ghost's kawai form is similar to Pearl from the Finding Nemo franchise.
• As revealed in concept art, Octocat was originally going to have a bell around its neck.
• Octocat and Piktoo are currently the only known ghosts within the spectral family to have the powers to create portals.
