- The Octagon is a human facility located in Capitol City. It is in the process of being built since parts of the building are unfinished. This is the area where Crypto battles Silhouette.

Structures that exhibit octagonal symmetry are the Dome of the Rock and the soon to be built Freedom Tower in New York. The Freedom Tower will replace the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center complex. It's shape begins as a square at the base and rotates as it rises ending in another square at the top, which is offset from the base by 45-degrees. From above it would look like two overlapping squares or an octagon.
