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. | The Starnacle's only purpose is to block underwater passages.

The name Starnacle is derived from "star" and "tentacle", although it can also be a combination of "star" and "barnacle". Its Japanese name, {{j|タコヒトデ|Tako Hitode}}, simply translates to "Octopus starfish", referring to two aquatic creatures with long arms. | |||
''Tripodidae asterias'' is its scientific name. ''Asterias'' is a {{w|Asterias|real-world genus}} for the Asteriidae family of sea stars. Although, here it is used as the species name rather than the genus. This could be a [[mistake]], as similar cases in ''Hey! Pikmin''{{'s}} logs indicate. | |||
Its internal name is <code>takohitode</code>, the Japanese word for "Octopus", {{j|タコ人で|Octopus}}. The generator name is <code>enemy_tri_arms</code>, once again referencing its three appendages. | |||
