Members[edit]
Starnacle[edit]
The Starnacle is an aquatic creature, made of three tentacles placed around a green eye. Its main purpose is blocking underwater passages. To get rid of it, Olimar just has to throw a Pikmin at its eye, making the Starnacle retract its tentacles. It only lasts for a short amount of time, before this creature regains its original position.
Naming[edit]
The name shellusk may come from molusk, another type of underwater creature. It is unknown where "shell" comes from, as the creature doesn't seem to have a shell of any sort, rather has a soft, squishy form.
