The '''octahedral truncate''' is a particular uniform polyhedron. It is special because it is one of only five regular-faced convex polyhedra that can tile the realm (the others being the [[cube]], [[triangular prism]], [[hexagonal prism]] and [[gyrobifastigium]]).

The octahedral truncate is a particular uniform polyhedron. It is special because it is one of only five regular-faced convex polyhedra that can tile the realm (the others being the cube, triangular prism, hexagonal prism and gyrobifastigium).
