Among the advanced combat droids flanking General Grievous in his secret headquarters on Utapau are the octuptarra droids. The stilt-legged spider-like automatons have large balloon-like heads atop their thin stalk bodies, armed with laser turrets. Their rotating multi-jointed assemblies allow them to change facing almost instantly, and it is nearly impossible to get a drop on the droids as all sides conceivably face "front." A larger cousin to the octuptarra droid, the tri-droid, was used in campaigns on Mygeeto.
在尤塔帕的秘密司令部里，八目兽机器人是被格里弗斯将军部署在身边的几种高级战斗机器人之一。这些配备激光炮塔的蜘蛛形机器人有着高跷状的长腿，在细长的身体上顶着像气球一样的大头。可旋转的多接点部件使它们几乎能在瞬间转向。偷袭这种机器人近乎不可能，因为其每一面都肯定面向“前方”。八目兽机器人的放大版兄弟型号——三联机器人——被用于麦基托战役。
These tripodal automatons, named for the eight-eyed gasbag-headed vine walkers found on Skako are generically referred to as tri-droids. Their rotating turret assemblies can fire from extended ranges, but in close quarters, the octuptarra is less effective. It is best employed from a distance, as its ball-shaped cognitive unit is too large and tempting a target for enemy fire.
这种三条腿的机器人以斯卡科上一种有八个眼睛和气囊状脑袋的触须行走生物命名。它一般也被称为三联机器人。其可旋转的炮塔部件能在超长射程内开火，但在近距离，八目兽机器人的效率就不太高了。它最好能从远处开火，因为其球形认知部件太大了，很容易吸引敌方火力。
Early in the war, that trait was employed in suicide runs by octuptarra droids towards clone trooper enemies. The Separatists had developed biological weapons that specifically targeted the identical genome shared by all the clone troopers. The central hollows within the ball-shaped brains of the octuptarra droid stored the virus in gaseous form, earning these droids the nickname of virus droids.
在战争早期，八目兽机器人利用这一特点向敌军克隆人发起自杀式冲锋。分离势力专门研发了针对克隆人士兵相同基因组的生物武器。八目兽机器人球形大脑内部的中央空洞存储了这类病毒的气态，使这些机器人获得“病毒机器人”的昵称。
An example of the Techno Union's modular, scalable manufacturing techniques, enormous versions of the octuptarra model are unleashed on the battlefield as combat artillery, but the battle droid-sized antipersonnel model trades terrorizing scale for agility.
作为技术联盟的模块化、易升级生产技术案例，各种版本的八目兽机器人型号被投入战场，充当战斗火炮，但战斗机器人尺寸的反步兵型号也拥有恐怖的灵活性。
