I don't think we have. Do they even exist? Are Octarians are a single-gendered species?

I wonder if the internet has abused their artistic abilities on the Octarians, although that's probably a dumb question, since everyone knows the answer.

Actually i don't think a male octarian has been seen yet. Logically speaking there should be one because there is both a male and female squidling, but we'll have to see

Might be something like the Gerudo in LoZ games. Only one male born however many years and that guy is the ruler.

All of the enemies are Octarian, but I think they said either in a direct or on their tumblr that only the females have been seen to have a humanoid form.

Are all the minions not male?
Wait a sec, if we assume that the Octarians are like Inklings in that they can only turn humanoid at a certain age, does this mean that the Octarian generals are sending children to war?

Well, the Octoling girls look to be a little older than Inkling girls. Considering the Inklings are all around 14, I'd say the Octolings are probably about 16.

That said: There's definitely both male and female Octarians. But for some reason, only the strongest females have shown an ability to take on humanoid forms and become Octolings--it's not a universal skill like it is with Inklings.

I've heard it multiple times that the "Octoling" are females. Just today in the Best Buy Google Hangout they made a very specific point that they are female. While it's not confirmation it's interesting they always say that.

Personally I like the Gerudo theory eheh
