Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

The hero. A [[HughMann human-impersonating]] octopus that stumbles around on land and has a hard time accomplishing most human tasks. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Somehow, he hasn't been caught yet.]] He's married to a human woman, Scarlet, and has two kids, Tommy and Stacy. Is being stalked by a psycho sushi chef named Fujimoto.

Octodad's wife. She works as a reporter and has been married to Octodad for ten years, yet somehow she's never noticed who her husband really is.

Scarlet's and Octodad's son. He idolizes the character Sports Johnson.

[[caption-width-right:350:Just an ordinary human. Nothing to see here.]]
The hero. A [[HughMann human-impersonating]] octopus that stumbles around on land and has a hard time accomplishing most human tasks. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Somehow, he hasn't been caught yet.]] He's married to a human woman, Scarlet, and has two kids, Tommy and Stacy. Is being stalked by a psycho sushi chef named Fujimoto.
----
* AllLovingHero: Loves his wife, his kids, and humanity in general. This extends to [[spoiler:completely forgiving Fujimoto at the end of Dadliest Catch. This is ''after'' the chef nearly ''kills Octodad's whole family.'' Fujimoto seems visibly touched by this.]]
* BadassMustache: Not a real one, but two short tentacles makes it looks like he has one.
* BumblingDad: What would you expect from a human-masquerading octopus who can demolish the entire kitchen while trying to make breakfast?
* CardboardPal: In the first game, Octodad has to collect items to make a fake version of himself to buy time so he can make an anniversary gift for Scarlet. When he finally builds it, [[spoiler:Fujimoto thinks it's really him and attacks it.]]
!!Scarlet
Octodad's wife. She works as a reporter and has been married to Octodad for ten years, yet somehow she's never noticed who her husband really is.
----
* HappilyMarried: With Octodad.
* IntrepidReporter: She's a reporter for a magazine/tabloid called ''The Inquisitor'', though her job isn't mentioned until ''Dadliest Catch''. She's so devoted to her job that she'll sneak onto ships if she needs to, and goes to the aquarium to write an article despite Octodad hating aquariums.
!!Tommy
Scarlet's and Octodad's son. He idolizes the character Sports Johnson.
----
* CharacterDevelopment: Gets some, believe it or not, in ''Dadliest Catch'' during his time in the World of Kelp exhibit. Initially, he wants to get out of the exhibit as fast as possible, thinking it'll be boring. But as he goes through the area, he starts to learn things and begin to think that science wasn't as lame as he thought it was.
* LampshadeHanging: When he [[spoiler:finds out that his dad's an octopus, he asks how him and Stacy could possibly have been born]].
** Also, during the credits, when the game's title (Octodad) comes up, he says, "Really? That's his name?"
* VocalDissonance: In the first Octodad game, he doesn't sound like a kid at all. Good thing he's got a new voice actor for the second game.
!!Stacy
Scarlet and Octodad's daughter. Pretty much a stereotypical girl, and also a prominent CloudCuckooLander.
----
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: It turns out that Stacy [[spoiler:always knew that Octodad wasn't human, but she never said anything because [[LampshadeHanging she thought it was common knowledge.]]
* LargeHam: Sometimes, especially in the "Medical Mess" short, due to being one of the narrators.
-->'''Stacy''': And in his chest they find... A BROKEN HEART!!
!!Chef Fujimoto
A psychotic sushi chef who's convinced that Octodad is an evil fish spy, and is hellbent on killing him.
----
* BigBad: For both games.
* CapsLock: ''Always'' speaks in all caps, according to the subtitles. [[spoiler:The only time he doesn't is at the end of ''Dadliest Catch'' when Octodad forgives him.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Dadliest Catch'' Octodad has a chance to "take care" of Fujimoto, and pats him while blubbing that he loves and respects humanity, and forgives him. Right after Fujimoto ''nearly kills Octodad's family''.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Has one at the end of ''Dadliest Catch'' when he realizes that Octodad is forgiving him for his actions. He's very touched, and promises to never bother Octodad again.]]
* LethalChef: Definitely.
