Alter-Egos
Octonaughty
As Octonaughty, he has green tentacles and a green mask. He has small pupils and big teeth. As a cube, he has a green cube symbol above his eyes. He has a high-pitched voice and has a very naughty personality. In "Octoblock to the Rescue!", Octoblock and Octonaughty come face to face for the first time after 4 Terrible Twos create Octonaughty. However, after 4 more Octoblocks help overpower Octonaughty, the naughty Numberblock attempts an escape route, but accidentally falls into a custard pie. In "Now in 3D", Octonaughty returns and uses a "Dimensionator" to turn into a cube and use his powers to turn several other Numberblocks into 3D shapes. Twenty-Seven manages to defeat Octonaughty with the help of her factor groups, as well as Octoblock and his 2 Fours. After Octonaughty attempts to become a cube again, the machine malfunctions, turns him flat, and then blasts the villain away, who vows to catch Octoblock next time.
Arrangements
Octoblock Rearrange! Eight is seen vertical, but he is mostly 2x4. He can be horizontal, 4x2, 2L+3x2, a square with a hole and other shapes. He is the first Numberblock to make 3D shapes. He also has the most 3D arrangements out of any Numberblock.

Trivia
- Eight's way of being a spider in his debut episode could possibly be a reference to Spider-Man.
- Eight's catchphrase is "Octoblock, (command), 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, (said command)!"
- Octonaughty's catchphrase is "Octonaughty, (command), 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, (said command)!"
- Eight said Octonaughty's command in Double Back.
- Just like Two's glasses might be his real eyes, it is possible that Eight's mask is part of his real eyes.
- Octonaughty's catchphrase is "Octonaughty, (command), 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, (said command)!"
- Eight is the only Numberblock greater than 5 who made more than 3 arrangements in the first series.
- Eight had a continuous error where he had 4 normal limbs, especially whenever 9 sneezes. The episodes 8 had the error are below.
- Nine, Ten, Just Add One, The Three Threes, and other episodes.
- The only time where it wasn't when Nine sneezed was in Odds and Evens, Mirror, Mirror, and other episodes.
- The first time where it is intentional is during Now We Are Six To Ten. It is unknown if it is intentional in Fun Times One Times Table; however, due to his length (8x1), it can be assumed it was intentional.
- Eight is the only cube number to be male.
- Eight makes the most 3D shapes out of all the primary Numberblocks.
- Starting from Series 2, Eight has a lighter-coloured mask and slightly smaller eyes. However, his old appearance is still seen in the intro and even on his player card during The Team Factor.
- According to Now We Are Six to Ten, Eight wasn't Octoblock until he got tickled by a radioactive octopus.
- Eight is capable of generating the Octo Signal with his Numberling.
- Octonaughty can generate signals too, but only did that in Now in 3D.
- Eight is the first Numberblock to make diagonal shapes (his "Bend" Form (zigzag) and his "Pop" form (which is just the donut, or square-with-hole, but diagonal).
- The LearningBlocks.tv website's description of Eight is: "Numberblock Eight is known by his superhero name: Octoblock. He’s got eight arms (or are they legs?) and when he needs to run fast, swim a long way, climb up high, knit in a hurry or more he changes shape to activate a unique special power each time: Octoblock Run! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 Run!"[3]
