A Star Cruster is an enemy which appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Star Crusters are large, crab-like enemies that can be found in Bowser's Keep. Humorously, even though Star Crusters resemble crabs, they deny being crabs, and even appear to be offended whenever referred to as such.

Battle[]

In battle, Star Crusters are known for their very high attack and defense. They can attack physically with their claws as their main attack. However, whenever a Star Cruster is attacked directly, they will counterattack with a small ball of energy that can put someone to sleep.

Strategy[]

Star Crusters are weak to ice moves meaning Mallow's Snowy or Ice Bombs are effective against them.
