Scientific name: ''Tripodidae asterias''
The Starnacle is an aquatic creature, made of three tentacles placed around a green eye. His main purpose is blocking underwater passages. To get rid of it, [[Olimar]] just has to throw a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in its eye, making the Starnacle retract its tentacles. It only lasts for a short amount of time, before this creature regains its original position.

== Naming ==
The name shellusk may come from "mollusk", another type of underwater creature. It is unknown where "shell" comes from, as the creature doesn't seem to have a shell of any sort, rather has a soft, squishy form.
Members use the ''Tripodidae'' genus. This is named after real-world {{w|tripods}}, a three-legged stand commonly used for filming and photography. This refers to members of the Shellusk family having three appendages.
