This is a concave octagon.

Example 3

This shape may look a bit like a boat but is classified as an octagon due to it having 8 sides.

Example 4

This may not look like an octagon but it has 8 sides, so it is an octagon.

Example 5

This is an irregular octagon as the sides are not of equal length and the internal angles between the sides are not all the same.
