Starro the Conqueror is a colossal alien starfish with mind-controlling abilities, known as one of the earliest and most persistent threats to Earth in the DC Universe.
Starro exhibits a singular, overwhelming drive to dominate and control, lacking empathy or morality. Its consciousness is collective, extending across all its spores, and it acts with relentless focus toward universal conquest. While not cunning in subtle manipulation, Starro's ability to control minds makes it a terrifying force that spreads chaos and fear wherever it goes.
Fans recognize Starro as one of DC's most iconic and terrifying extraterrestrial villains. Its simple yet effective concept of a mind-controlling starfish has left a lasting impression in comics and animated adaptations. While it may lack nuanced dialogue or deep characterization, Starro's menace lies in its sheer scale and ability to overwhelm entire cities and heroes with psychic domination. Its appearances in major storylines like the Justice League conflicts and animated adaptations have cemented its legacy as a memorable cosmic threat.
