  Composite Higgs models with a fermionic UV completion can contain additional
colored states beside the usual top-partners. We focus here on a model which
contains in addition SU(3) color octet top partners as well as color singlet
ones. The latter can in principle serve as a dark matter candidate. We consider
a particular composite Higgs model which contains SU(3) color octet top
partners besides the usually considered triplet representations. Moreover,
color singlet top partners are present as well which can in principle serve as
dark matter candidates. We investigate the LHC phenomenology of these unusual
top partners. Some of these states could at first glance be confused with
gluinos predicted in supersymmetric models.
