Death Star
The Antarctic Sun Star, one of the strangest creatures the team discovered, is also known as a Death Star. This bizarre creature, whose name is a reference to the well-known Star Wars film series, has a sinister reputation. The animal is related to the common starfish, but this distant cousin of Patrick from Spongebob is a lot more deadly.
The Death Star can be bigger than a hubcap and has fifty arms. Its skin is covered with small, sharp scissors. When touched, they slam shut. The Death Star is mainly targeting passing krill for now, but the scientists kept an appropriate distance just to be sure.
This is not the only strange thing about the so-called Labidiaster Annulatus…
