Starro

Starro.

Starros are a species of large alien starfish-like creatures with mind-controlling abilities.

History

Early life

Marduk, Ishtar and Nabu battled a Starro in ancient Babylonia. Though Nabu was killed, Marduk and Ishtar triumphed, and dumped Starro into arctic waters.

After being frozen for millennia, the still-frozen creature was found by Atlantean scientists led by Vulko. Starro was transferred to Poseidonis's Science Center, where it was carefully studied.[1]

On behalf of the Light, Black Manta staged an attack on the Science Center to retrieve the creature. The plan was thwarted by Aqualad and Garth, and Black Manta blew up the creature out of spite. A small piece survived the blast and began regenerating. Prince Orm decided that it would be best that the piece be taken to the surface world for further studies, considering the fact the Science Center had been greatly damaged and could not safeguard the piece.[1] It was eventually examined in Gotham City's STAR Labs.[2]

While Klarion and his band of sorcerors had split the world into two dimensions, one for adults and one for children, Lawrence Crock led a mob of angry and confused parents to the STAR Labs facility in Gotham, demanding answers. This distraction gave Riddler a chance to sneak into the facility and steal the echinoderm sample.

Riddler and Sportsmaster later presented the tentacle to the Brain and the rest of the Light. The tentacle had regenerated slightly since being blown up.[2]

The Light arranged for Professor Ivo to be broken out of Belle Reve Penitentiary to work on the echinoderm. With Klarion and Brain, he turned it into Starro-tech,[3] tiny chips of biocircuitry that enslaved whomever was exposed to it.[4]

While under the influence of the Starro-tech, Atom was dissecting a piece of Starro, when suddenly, it began to levitate. This provided enough distraction for Miss Martian to tag him with cure-tech.[5]

When the armadas were crippled and Vandal noticed one of the aliens was under the influence of a Starro, he had Cassandra take control of the Warworld.[6]

Starro mind control

Starro mind-controlling an alien by attaching itself to their head.

Vandal used a Boom Tube to board the ship, where he encountered this new Starro and killed it, while Cassandra used the Warworld to defeat the armadas.

Pieces of the second Starro were placed inside a stasis pod in the Warworld's Brig.[6]
