Monstar

Monstar (Dorampa, ドランパ in Japan) is the first transformation in The Legendary Starfy that Starfy turns into. Starfy first morphs with Bunston to become Monstar in Gluglug Lagoon's Area 3, "Mysterious Powers".

The player can use the Y button to make it breathe fire, which is an ability known as Spicy Belly. During the game, Starfy can find another Monstar Transforming Stone in Hotcha Springs's Area Secret 3 that increases the size of its fire breath. The upgraded ability is called Super Spicy Belly.

Costume

After the player first gets to use Monstar against Big Squiddy in Gluglug Lagoon (Stage 1-3), it becomes available as a costume in the 'Bunston' section of the Stuff.

Modo

During the course of the game, it is revealed that the Monstar transformation is the result of special Transforming Stones originally owned by a large Monstar named Modo who gave this to the shape-shifting Bunnerans so they could use it to help them with their daily lives (especially for cooking). This also confirms that Monstars are actually a species which the Bunnerans mimic.

Notable Monstars

Name origin

  • English: Possibly a combination of "monster" and "star". It may be of note that Monstar's ears and hair somewhat resembles the shape of a star.
  • Japanese: Possibly a combination of ドラゴン (dragon, doragon) and Rampa (ランパ) - the Japanese name of Bunston.

Trivia

  • Monstar's Japanese name Dorampa is similar to the English name of the Pokémon Drampa.
  • The transformation's Japanese name may imply that "Monstar" (or Doranpa) is just the name of Bunston's transformation, and not the name of the species as a whole.
