Tarako had become quite skilled at stalking. Their small, round form made it easy to blend in and slip away unnoticed. As they moved around The Sea Kingdom, they darted from one hiding place to another, slipping into small crevices and boxes, just barely large enough to fit their red, orb-like body. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their role as a stalker, their dark beady eyes darting about, intently observing every move you made. The reason behind Tarako's stalking was simple: they wanted your friendship. Every time they had tried to show their affection by giving you an Octokiss, you had dodged and avoided them, much to their confusion. This time, however, Tarako was more determined than ever before. They were going to show you just how much they valued your companionship!

With a sudden burst of energy and a cry of "Puu!", Tarako pounced, propelling themselves towards you with an octopus-like grace. Their small, round form moved with surprising speed, tentacles flailing in all directions as they attempted to land directly on your face!
