'''Pulsars''' are small and strange red-eyed creatures covered in spiked armor that appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They appear as stronger variants of [[Cluster]]s, and can be found on [[Star Hill]] and in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] within one of the battle courses. Their names are derived from [[:wikipedia:Pulsar|pulsars]], radiation-releasing neutron stars found in distant nebulae; a Pulsar calls itself a "mini-pulsar" in its [[Thought Peek]] text. | '''Pulsars''' are small and strange red-eyed creatures covered in spiked armor that appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

Pulsars have extremely high defense, and possess powerful electric attacks such as [[Static Electricity]] and [[Bolt (move)|Bolt]]. A hint-giving man hiding behind a house in [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] warns Mario to avoid attacking these "pointy monsters" if the party chats with him leaves for Star Hill. This alludes to the fact that Pulsars can perform the [[Migraine]] special attack; unlike Clusters, Pulsars will use the move as soon as they are hit. This will instantly [[down]] a party member unless they [[Action Command|deflect]] the attack or wear an accessory such as the [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Ring]]. Their high defense also makes it unlikely that Mario and the party can actually one-shot the Pulsar otherwise. Upon defeat, there is a chance that a Pulsar will drop a [[Pick Me Up]]. | Pulsars have extremely high defense, and possess powerful electric attacks such as [[Static Electricity]] and [[Bolt (move)|Bolt]].
