'''The Squirts''' are a group of six squids who are comedians. Their Japanese name is '''Yariikā Group''', ヤリイカーズ. They are all based on "[[jawikipedia:ヤリイカ|Spear Squid]]" (Japanese: ヤリイカ), also known as Bleeker's squid (genus Loligo Bleekeri), a type of squid known for their spear shaped heads.
 
The first five Squirts first appear in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'' and later appeared in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]''. All of the Squirts except for their boss, '''Bawss''', are named '''Squirt #(number)'''. An additional Squirt; Squirt #5 first appeared in ''[[The Legendary Starfy]]''. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', they are rivals with the [[Makaika Group]]. Bawss also appeared in ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', although he is the only Squirt who appeared in that game.

This Squirt is the boss of all 5. His Japanese name is '''Yariika-san''' (ヤリイカさん). In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 2]]'', he is found in [[Pufftop]] level 3, where he asks Starfy to find the four other members of the Squirts. He reappears in level 5, where he explains that the [[Pufftop Kids]] were locked up in a cell by 'bad guys' and that the [[Prison Key (Silver)|Prison Key]] can unlock the door. He then gives Starfy the [[Thunder Pants]] to give to Squirt #1. In [[Densetsu no Starfy 3]], he fought the leader of the [[Makaika Group]], [[Makaika]], and defeated him by putting on his [[Happi and Headband]]. In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'', he teaches [[Starfy]] the [[Shooting Star]] ability. His [[Densetsu no Starfy 4/Internal character and enemy names|internal name]] in ''Densetsu no Starfy 4'' is Dorifu, for some reason. In the Japanese version of [[The Legendary Starfy]], he tells Starfy that he plans on stepping down as the leader of the Squirts as he is getting older. This may be the reason why Squirt #5 is introduced in this game, so that the Squirts could still have 5 members after Bawss steps down. He usually uses the pronoun [[Japanese_First_Person_Pronouns#Watashi_(私/わたし/ワタシ)|Watashi]] in Japanese, but has used the pronoun [[Japanese_First_Person_Pronouns#Washi_(儂/わし/ワシ)|Washi]] in Starfy 3.

The Squirts are a group of six squids who are comedians. Their Japanese name is Yariikā Group, ヤリイカーズ. They are all based on "Spear Squid" (Japanese: ヤリイカ), also known as Bleeker's squid (genus Loligo Bleekeri), a type of squid known for their spear shaped heads.

The first five Squirts first appear in Densetsu no Starfy 2 and later appeared in Densetsu no Starfy 3. All of the Squirts except for their boss, Bawss, are named Squirt #(number). An additional Squirt; Squirt #5 first appeared in The Legendary Starfy. In Densetsu no Starfy 3, they are rivals with the Makaika Group.

He then gives Starfy the Thunder Pants to give to Squirt #1. In Densetsu no Starfy 3, he fought the leader of the Makaika Group, Makaika, and defeated him by putting on his Happi and Headband. In Densetsu no Starfy 4, he teaches Starfy the Shooting Star ability. His internal name in Densetsu no Starfy 4 is Dorifu, for some reason. In the Japanese version of The Legendary Starfy, he tells Starfy that he plans on stepping down as the leader of the Squirts as he is getting older. This may be the reason why Squirt #5 is introduced in this game, so that the Squirts could still have 5 members after Bawss steps down.
