The Crux Mathematicorum link calls these numbers "expomorphic" relative to "base" b, with here b = 8.
Under that definition, the term after a(13) = 35416895225856 is not "035416895225856" or "35416895225856" but a(14) = 7035416895225856.
Conjecture: if k(n) is "expomorphic" relative to "base" b, then the next one in the sequence, k(n+1), consists of the last n+1 digits of b^k(n).
This conjecture is true. See A133618. - David A. Corneth, Feb 10 2022

EXAMPLE
8^56 = 374144419156711147060143317175368453031918731001856, so 56 is a term.
8^856 = ...5856 ends in 856, so 856 is another term.
