The '''sea star''' (ヒトデ, ''Hitode'') is a type of [[sea creature]] in the {{SER}}, introduced in {{NL}}. 

In July 2019 it became available in {{PC}}, where it is categorized as a [[shell]] rather than a sea creature. It was first available for a limited time only, but has since become available as a regular shell and is part of the current cycle of shells as of November 2020.

While initially absent from {{NH}}, the sea star was added in the 1.3.0 [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history|Free Summer Update]], where it appears all day long as a small, very slow shadow year-round.

The sea star appears as a shell in {{PC}}, and was first available for only a limited time as part of the Summer Sea Stars Goals event, from July 8 to July 11, 2019. It has since become available as a regular shell and is part of the current cycle of shells as of November 2020. The shell appears on the beach at [[Saltwater Shores]], where it can be picked up. The sell price for this shell is {{Currency|Bells|10}}. For villager requests, it is part of rarity tier 1, which earns the player {{Currency|Bells|100}} and 2 [[File:Heart PC Icon.png|15px|link=]] Friendship Points if the shell is used to fulfill a request.

==Donating to the museum==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
After being donated to the [[museum]], the sea star can be found in the large pool in the first room of the sea exhibit, along with many other species of sea creatures. It is found in the section of the pool closest to the entrance. The exhibit says this about the Sea Star:
{{Blathers|NL|These star-shaped creatures have hundreds of tiny feet attached to their mobile arms. This allows them to slowly walk and open shellfish for food, making them effective predators. If an arm gets caught and ripped off by another predator, the sea star's arm will just grow back. Some sea stars eat by extending their stomachs out of their mouths to trap and then digest prey.}}

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
When donating to the museum  [[Blathers]] will say the following:
{{Blathers|NH|The '''sea star''' may appear to have five feet...but those are, in fact, its arms. And though five-armed '''sea stars''' are the most common, there are species with 20 or even 40 arms out there! Ah, but the fascinating appendage facts do not end there, wot wot! You see, upon each '''sea star''''s arm sprout many dozens of tiny feet. Yes, FEET! They use these suction-cupped feet not just to move about...but to...eh...grab hold of dinner guests as well. Finally, it should be noted that when a '''sea star''' loses an arm, it can grow it back. More impressive yet, a severed '''sea star''' arm...can sometimes grow an entire '''sea star''' body back!}}

The sea star is located in the shallow saltwater fish tank in the [[museum]]

==Fishing Tourney==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
During a [[Fishing Tourney]], when given a sea star, [[Chip]] will not score the sea creature but will say the following:
{{Chip|NL|Now sea stars—people say you shouldn't eat these guys. Not tasty, apparently! Quite a harsh critique! Yeah, I think I'll listen to common opinion just this once. I'm not quite crazy enough to eat a sea star!}}

==Real-world information==
[[File:Sea Star Real.jpg|thumb|left|A real-life sea star]]
Sea stars are marine invertebrates. They typically have a central disc and usually five arms, though some species have a larger number of arms. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates. Many species are brightly colored in various shades of red or orange, while others are blue, gray, or brown. Starfish have tube feet operated by a hydraulic system and a mouth at the centre of the oral or lower surface. Most can regenerate damaged parts or lost arms and they can shed arms as a means of defense. <br>
