=The Octopus Mutants= The Octopus Mutant is one of the few bosses int the game "The Forest".It's structural body is made out of other mutant bodies, it's a cluster of female and male mutants. They require upgraded weapons to be slaughtered, the Plane Axe is not very effective on these type of bosses. Sticks, rocks, and molotovs deal very little damage to the boss. They sometimes travel with a companion bosses and mutants such as "Virginia", Starving Mutants and Cannibals. The Armsy can provide big deal of damage to the player health, few hits from it and you might be done forever, but to take one of these monstrosities you must have really good tactics to get it's attention. Trying to get it's attention in the previous versions of the game made the Armsy run slowly towards you at a slow pace, but in the current version of the game Armsy will now run full speed of estimated 30km/h towards the player when threatened. It can be recognized very easily of it's strong steps in the distance, it's estimated that the sounds coming from the Armsy can be heard over 15m away from the player. Once distracted the Armsy will run towards the player. Hiding behind rocks and trees is not advised as his powerful run and scream can scare the player to an extent that will make them think that there is no escape, since the mutant is faster than the player. That is not the case here, once the Armsy hits a tree or a rock it takes a few seconds for it to recharge his running power. In his path the Armsy can take multiple trees at once, If in correct path, but if the mutant is running towards the very center of a tree, it will be stopped immediately. The actions of the Armsy mutant can be very destructive towards player bases and creations such as buildings, Log Cabins etc. The hits of the Armsy aren't that powerful, they're just as powerful as a normal mutant when destroying player creations, but the hits can be critical if the player is in the way.
