The mammoth starpod is an enormous rock-like creature with dozens of long white tentacles. It has the appearance of a giant flower. Each arm has feeler tubes on it, which they use can grab food. It eats mostly minerals and space matter. It is not good at identifying objects, and sometimes will not realize that it has eaten something it doesn’t want to eat until it’s already in its mouth. Mammoth starpods go through a molting season, and are particularly hungry as the molting season approaches.[1]

The main body of the starpod is made of rock, and is smaller than a planet. The starpod’s limbs are several kilometers long and several wingspans wide. The arms are whitish in color, with smaller purplish stalks growing up the middle of each one. The starpod’s mouth has rows of long ivory protrusions jutting from its center. They are like teeth, but flexible and wavy. It has thousands of tongues arranged in circles around its mouth to help pull its prey in.[1]

The Superiority is interested in mammoth starpods, and has set up a research station to study at least one of them.[1]
