The Lab is one of the Octopod's main areas. It seems to work as Shellington's main room where he sleeps, too, and he spends most of his time there, investigating samples through the microscope. The walls are light-green and the floor is yellow. In the Lab there's a long table (which can sometimes become quite chaotic) with Shellington's favorite microscope and lots of test tubes. As seen in The Octonauts and the Ring of Fire, Shellington has a bed in the lab which immediately folds up once his alarm rings. The Vegimals were born in his lab in an incubating machine there. On the walls there's blackboards and posters. There are lots of plants in the room. Many experiments are in the process of being incomplete, but Shellington is found in the Lab most of the time when the Octo-Alert sounds.
