Body
The body is where most of the force generated by the piece's weight and by the muscle wires is dissipated. The vertebrate-looking rings are tension rings that hold the shoulders and legs in place. This interlocking technology alleviates the need for screws and other metal fasteners, allowing Octofungi to keep his weight down. Finally, the body contains the two spine boards.
