Background

Davido is a villager from a small fishing village in Latin America. His father was captured and taken away by The Octaman. Davido carves wooden ornaments as a hobby.

During the events of Octaman (1971) played by David Essex

Enrique introduces himself to Dr. Rick Torres and offers to bury Raul at their church. Rick asks about a local superstition about a half-man, half-sea serpent and Davido tells him his grandmother saw it once and shows a drawing of the creature. Enrique then tells Rick that Davido's grandmother said that Davido's father was taken by The Octaman. Pedro walks up to Enrique and tells him he wont go to where the Octaman is, but Davido tells Rick and Mort Stein, he will take them. Davido takes them to a lake which connects to other lakes. At night, the Octaman watches as everyone sits around and talks. Rick tells Mort that the water in the lake exhibits the same radiation as the village and Johnny Caruso asks if drinking it will turn a person into a mutant. Davido tells them that there are some baby's in his village born with mutations. They take the RV on a path along the lake.At night Davido tells Rick he saw another baby Octaman and he and Rick run off. They find a baby Octaman, which suddenly disappears. The next day, Davido tells Rick and Mort he has found another baby Octaman and they follow him out of camp. Susan Lowry runs off and Steve Dodd follows her. The rest of the group return and find Johnny injured. Rick asks Johnny what he saw, but he tells him he didn't see anything. Rick refuses to believe that an octopod that walks like a man exists, but Davido shows him his drawing again. After they catch, but lose the Octaman, Johnny again suggests they leave and Davido tells them of a place it might hide. They break camp and as they are trying to remove a fallen tree across the road, Davido goes searching for the Octaman. He calls to the others when he sees it go inside of a cave. They encounter the Octaman in the cave and as they are chasing it, they are trapped in a rockslide caused by the Octaman. Davido finds a small shaft and he follows it outside. He then crawls back to the others and tells them the shaft leads outside and the others crawl out of the shaft. They make it outside and see they are right at the RV. As Mort opens the door, he is attacked by the Octaman. Steve, Johnny and Davido are also knocked to the ground. Susan calls to the Octaman and it walks to her and picks her up. Steve checks on Johnny and sees that he is dead. As it is taking her towards the water, she pulls out a gun and shoots it in the chest and it drops her. The others then shoot at the Octaman and it walks mortally wounded into the water. Davido then takes the wood carving he made of it and throws it into the water.
