Mini Octotank No. 8
ItemMini Octotank No. 8 is a small octopus-shaped combat machine built by Child Emperor. It patrols a designated alert zone and automatically opens fire on anything that moves, standing guard over the young hero during the war on the Monster Association.
Overview
Mini Octotank No. 8 is one of the many gadgets that come out of Child Emperor's arsenal, styled after an octopus and counted among his assault machines. It debuts in the manga during Chapter 97 and reaches the anime in Episode 32, serving as an automated sentry rather than a piloted unit.
Function
The device works as a self-directed turret keyed to a set perimeter. Once positioned, it locks onto any motion inside that boundary and keeps shooting at the target. Its trigger condition is tied to carbon dioxide output, so it continues firing until it no longer registers the breath of a living intruder, at which point the threat is treated as neutralized.
Notable Users
Child Emperor both designs and deploys the robot as part of his personal defenses. It proves its worth by gunning down a monster that tries to close in on him from behind while his attention is elsewhere. The machine does not survive the fighting, however, as it is wrecked by Phoenix Man not long after its kill.
