Starmie (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Origin: Y'know I was lookin' at it and I gotta say, the crown of thorns thing has no bearing. COT just has a bunch of legs. It doesn't actually have layered sets of legs, like Starmie.

Starmie appear to be stylized {{wp|seastars}}. They seemingly are a pun, (given their numerous ties to outer space,) combining seastars with an actual {{wp|star}}. Starmie's general depiction across different media often has it moving through the air while spinning, akin to a {{wp|shuriken}}. | |||
As opposed to Staryu's smooth {{wp|gemstone|gem}} core, Starmie's gem is {{wp|Cut (Gems)|cut}}, evoking the idea of some form of {{wp|jewellery}}. Notably, the eight {{wp|facets}} prominently witnessed upon Starmie's gemstone (adjacent to the center facet,) would be called the star facets, were it a real jewel. | |||
Starmie also bears some resemblance to the {{wp|Star of Ishtar}}. Ishtar, also called {{wp|Inanna#Iconography|Inanna}}, is known as Queen of Heaven. | |||
