Monstar

Monstar is a ghost-like monster from Paper Mario that attacks those who enter Starborn Valley. When Mario and his friends first encounter it, Monstar appears tough to defeat. However, Monstar is really nothing more than a bunch of Star Kids trying to protect their home. When Monstar was about to attack, it would make a huge light show with amazing special effects. However, the attack deals only 1 damage point. After attacking, it asks Mario if he is scared yet in a shaky voice.

The battle was really simply moving the plot along than anything else, but Monstar still gives some Star Points.

Also notable about the battle is the fact that Monstar was invulnerable to Star Spirit attacks and the Shooting Star item.

Trivia

 * Its name is a pun on monster and a portmanteau of "monster" and "star".
 * This is also the name of the alien monsters that the Looney Toons must beat at basketball in the 1996 film Space Jam. It also happens to be the name of one of Starfy's transformations in the 2009 DS game The Legendary Starfy.
 * Although he is one of the easiest bosses in the game, his attack is the hardest to guard (besides using badges and partner abilities) because the duration of the attack is very long and the player needs perfect timing for such a lengthy attack.
