The Octabrain is an enemy in Duke Nukem Forever.
The Octabrain is a floating, medium-sized, octopus-shaped alien with three glowing eyes. One of its attacks consists of it tossing junk scattered throughout levels, such as barrels, at the player. It is also able to fire energy projectiles at the player from its brain. When stuck with a laser tripmine it will spin extremly fast and go kamikaze, trying to catch you in both the laser tripmine explosion and its own death-throes explosion.

The Octabrain is a floating, medium-sized, octopus-shaped alien with three glowing eyes. One of its attacks consists of it tossing junk scattered throughout levels, such as barrels, at the player. It is also able to fire energy projectiles at the player from its brain. When stuck with a laser tripmine it will spin extremly fast and go kamikaze, trying to catch you in both the laser tripmine explosion and its own death-throes explosion.
Its deadliest ability is that it can catch any projectiles fired at it by the player and toss them back, such as Pipe bombs and rockets. The pre-release podcast has revealed that this will be exploited in at least one boss battle, where Octabrains will appear and will catch any projectiles that are fired at the boss. It kinda looks like he does not have skin on his head, so it shows his brain, but this appears to not be confirmed yet.
