The '''Starnacle''' ({{j|タコヒトデ|Tako Hitode|Octopus Starfish}}) is a rare octopus-like enemy in {{hp}}. It has three pink equally spaced tentacle-like arms, and a large green eye in its center. It's eye closes and it's arms retract when it's eye is hit with a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It is found frequently in the waters of [[Pollution Pool]], where its arms acts 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 with ought 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.

The name Starnacle is derived from "star" and "tentacle". Its Japanese name, {{j|タコヒトデ|Tako Hitode}}, simply translates to "Octopus starfish", referring to two aquatic creatures with long arms.
