Mukashibito is a small, green reptile enemy with large red eyes in Densetsu no Starfy 4. Its head is covered by large red lumps that resemble hair. It fires black smog at Starfy and Starly from its tube-shaped mouth to attack. The smog can be fired horizontally or upwards in a diagonal direction, but not vertically. It wears an orange shirt with red polka-dot spots and has a spiky tail resembling that of crocodilia.

Name Origin

• Mukashibito derives from the words mukashi (昔), meaning old, and hito (人), meaning person, playing into the caveman apparel this enemy wears. It could also involve the tuatara, or as it's known in Japanese, the mukashitokage (昔蜥蜴), which may have inspired its reptilian design.

Trivia

• Mukashibito's large lumpy head is similar to that of the Pokémon Magby.
• Mukashibito's internal name is "Mukasibito".
