| Affiliations | Mashtooth |
| Fought at | Stage 4-4 (Papes), 5-3 (Ronk), 5-4 (Papes and Ronk), 6-4 (Snips), 7-4 (All) |

The Terrible Trio, known in Japan as the Daīru Pirate Squad are a group of villains in the The Legendary Starfy who are trying to capture Bunston on Mashtooth's orders. They are related to the game Rock (Ronk), Paper (Papes), and Scissors (Snips), as shown in S.S. Logwater and at the end of the game where they challenge Starfy to a match of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Snips is known as Jan (ジャン) in Japan, while Ronk is Ken (ケン), and Papes is Pon (ポン).
Snips
Snips is the leader of the Terrible Trio. She is the tallest member of the group and she always wears a tight blue full body suit that covers most of her body except her shoulders and arms, however her arms and hands are still covered by a pair of long white gloves. Also, she has blond hair and long ears. She fights by using bombs and a forcefield.
Toy Description
"Snips is the leader of the trio chasing Bunston. Everything goes through her! She drops more bombs than a bad stand up comedian!"
Ronk
Ronk is the muscle of the group. He is very stout in appearance and has large fangs and massive forearms with a clam-like hairstyle. He also makes animalistic roars when irritated. He has green hair and wears purple overalls. He fights firstly using just fists and using water is his weakness as he's so big he floats, but later wields an anchor on a belt to weigh himself down.
Toy Description
"For such a big lug, Ronk is pretty quick. Not the smartest baddie around, but his heart is as big as his fists!"
Papes
Papes is the shortest and least bright member of the squad. He makes most of the plans, but they end in failure most of the time. He is Snips's younger brother. He is light purple in color and wears a pair of green tights, and he also has a blue hat.. He fights using a shield and barges into you with it, but can easily be blown backward by Starfy's Star Spin. Papes is also the funniest of the trio. He can`t jump as far as his colleagues.
Toy Description
"Papes has a big mouth that always gets him in trouble. Lucky for him, he's got a sheild that's as big as his yapper!"
The Paper-Cut Crusher
This technique was first mentioned in Note No. 46: Snips's Diary- "The Forbidden Technique!":
I don't like the way things are going! The big boss is completely wrong! Up to now I wasn't sure, but this is awful! Ugh, what are we going to do?! I wish we could just use the forbidden technique to get Bunston and go home!
And was continued in Note No. 49: Terrible Trio Note- "The Forbidden Technique":
What?! That technique will take huge amounts of energy from us! We need to save it for an emergency! And if we don't work together as a team, it might not even work! If we do the Paper-Cut Crusher, we need to be very focused and very careful!
It was finally used in S.S. Logwater (Stage 7-4), where they challenged Starfy to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
However, later on, they became a traitor to Mashtooth and used the Paper-Cut Crusher on him in Planet Bunnera (Stage 8-4).

- In the original Japanese version of The Legendary Starfy, voices were used in the Rock, Paper Scissors game to reflect the common rules of janken. These voices among several others were removed in the localizations.
Name origin
- English: Snips is most likely a reference to "snip", English onomatopoeia for cutting. Papes may be a play on "paper", while Ronk is possibly a corruption of "rock". Collectively, they are known as the Terrible Trio, presumably because there are three members of the crew and they were initially deemed bad.
- Japanese: Jan, Ken and Pon are named after Rock, Paper, Scissors| hand game, commonly known as Janken (Japanese: じゃんけん, two-fists in Japan). A popular phrase to shout when playing Rock, Paper, Scissors is ジャン・ケン・ポン (Jan・Ken・Pon), where Pon is Japanese onomatopoeia for pop. [1] Daīru Pirate Squad can literally mean Dire Pirate Crew, however Daīru is literally a reference to Mashtooth, whose Japanese name is Daīru.
