Behavior
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 to avoid the creature and keep going in the passage.
Locations
- Ravaged Rustworks
- 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 Blinnows and Young Yellow Wollywogs. They also serve as blockages so Olimar can't enter certain areas with ought the Blue Pikmin necessary to defeat them.
