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.

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.
