"According to Square's book Final Fantasy Origins: Final Fantasy VI an octopus was the main character of Square's first game ever. Square decided to reintroduce the octopus in Final Fantasy VI (released as Final Fantasy III in America.) During production one of the programmers told Amano and Sakaguchi that it reminded him of his a purple toy octopus he had as a child named "Orthros" (probably short for "Orthoceras", a prehistoric ancestor to the modern octopus.) They decided to apply the name and color or the toy to the character. "Orthros" was later translated to Ultros." (http://www.ultros.com/about.html)
However, Square's first game was 3D World Runner. I can't find much information about it, so I can't validate that statement. As far as I can tell, the guy on the box art is the main character.
