The '''Starnacle''' ({{j|タコヒトデ|Tako Hitode|Octopus Starfish}}) is a rare octopus-like [[enemy]] in {{hp}}. It has three equally-spaced, pink tentacle-like arms and a large green eye on its main body. Its eye closes and its arms retract when the eye is hit with a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It is found frequently in the waters of [[Pollution Pool]], where its arms act as an obstacle to the player and their [[Blue Pikmin]].

The Starnacle's only purpose is to block underwater passages. Aside from that, it doesn't do anything and is harmless. When a Pikmin is thrown at its eye, it will retract its tentacles, leaving enough room for [[Olimar]] and his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to avoid the creature and keep going in the passage.

**[[Pollution Pool]]: This is the only area that they are found in. They mostly serve as enemies to avoid in the water sections, along with [[Puckering Blinnow]]s and [[Young Yellow Wollywog]]s. They also serve as blockages so Olimar can't enter certain areas without the [[Blue Pikmin]] necessary to defeat them.

There is no way to defeat this enemy; however, it can be stunned for a certain amount of time by simply throwing a [[Blue Pikmin]] right into its eye. Once done, it will retract its arms and allow passage until it extends them again.
