The shellusk family is a family of octopus-like creatures that appears in Hey! Pikmin only. So far, this family is made of one species, the Starnacle.
This family only consists of the Tripodidae genus.
Members[edit]
Starnacle[edit]
- Main article: Starnacle.
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 "mollusk", 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. Members use the Tripodidae genus. This is named after real-world tripods, a three-legged stand commonly used for filming and photography. This refers to members of the Shellusk family having three appendages.
