- "I got a sea star! Maybe it'll give me an autograph!" —New Horizons
The sea star is a benthic animal found at the bottom of the ocean in New Leaf and New Horizons. Diving is the only way of capturing it.
Though not obtainable in-game, sea stars are present in the seawater tank of Animal Crossing's museum.
Sea stars also appear in Pocket Camp, where they are classified as shells and can be found on the beach in Saltwater Shores.

In New Leaf[]
In New Leaf, an information board in the aquarium will list information about this creature.
"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 New Horizons[]
This is the quote Blathers says while donating a sea star to the museum:
"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 fats 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 yes, a served sea star arm...can sometimes grow an entire sea star body back!"
