The larger and more dangerous counterpart of the DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droid, the Octuptarra Tri-Droid is a fourth class battle droid walker. Their large heads contain their cognitive modules and sensor suite. Three red photoreceptors allow them to look in every direction at once, leaving them with virtually no blind spots and making them almost impossible for enemies to attack by surprise from behind. They have an omnidirectional field of fire, with typical octuptarra tri-droids being armed with four rotating laser cannons placed equidistant below its photoreceptors and around its central stalk, which can spin around and lock onto targets from any side in an instant. They have three triple-jointed, hydraulic limbs that allow them to scale uneven surfaces. However, its three-legged design is its primary weakness, as if one was damaged, the entire droid would topple over. To mitigate this weakness, octuptarra tri-droids and protected by ray shields and particle shields to increase their survivability.
