Octigi: cats, as they can both parasitise and eventually control their host.
Bolamites: well, spiders. I'm surprised OWI didn't exploit the name for a different upgraded version: ebolamites

Hee hee, love these. The Bolamite in the opening sequence rattles its abdomen like a rattlesnake does its tail.
OWI's inspiration behind the behaviour of Paramites are Hyenas.
