A weird face turning 8-sided solid, resembling a faceted oloid.

Octoloid is a shape that is based on the inventor's previous QuadStar puzzle. Where that puzzle has 12 sides, Octoloid only has 8 since four small sides have been removed to make slicing the solid feasible. The result is a jumbling-only puzzle that doesn't appear as if it should scramble since none of the vertices have equal dihedral angles. Despite this, it actually has six different starting moves in which one or more subsequent moves can be made (seven starting moves if the original position is counted).
