Trivia
Origin
It may just be a stylized seastar.
Name origin
Staryu's name is derived from star, referring to its shape, and yu, which may be a misspelling of you, in opposition to the mie in Starmie. The hitode in Hitodeman is probably derived from 海星, seastar, along with the combination of man.
In other languages
- German: Sterndu
- French: Stari - From the english words star and I, reffering to the english name Staryu and Starmie (Star You and Star Me).
- Korean: 별가사리 Byeolgasari
