A '''Starslap''' is a pink starfish enemy found in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They live in [[Rose Way]], where they primarily spend their time sleeping underwater. However, Starslaps do have the ability to hover in the air, and occasionally fly over dry land to attack intruders. While hovering in the air, Starslaps tend to make circular patterns moving outwards. In battle, a Starslap attacks by slapping its opponent multiple times. Starslaps also know the [[Recover]] dance, allowing them to heal themselves or other monsters.
