Noodles to his mates. A proper lovable, chilled-out fella. The kind that hangs around and becomes part of the conversation before you even notice. Comfortable in his own skin, Archie carries a kind of carefree that only comes from living many lives.
In Māori mythology, the wheke (octopus) is no ordinary creature. When the great navigator Kupe set out to hunt Te Wheke-a-Muturangi, a powerful ocean-dwelling octopus, the chase carried him across the Pacific, leading to the discovery of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Found in coastal waters across eastern Australia and New Zealand, the Māori octopus is one of the largest and most powerful cephalopods on earth. Intelligent. Adaptable. Deeply aware. Archie leans into all of this in his own quiet way. He doesn’t need to prove anything. He just is.
