Octo was named for his bobtail, since he doesn't have great balance and often falls over. His first handler commented, "He would fall over less if he had eight tails." October was the next best name after Octopus, but Kodyn and the handler agreed that Octavian suited his strong personality better. Octo is mild but likes to be the center of attention as much as possible. He loves showing off to females (but often falls over and embarrasses himself).
