The dark star is a monster introduced in Dragon Quest VIII. It is originally encountered at the Godbird's Eyrie in the World of Darkness, but it can eventually be encountered in parts of the regular world after the events at the Black Citadel.
Characteristics
The dark star is a large, spherical monster that resembles an anthropomorphic sun or star. Like all monsters from the World of Darkness, it is completely pitch-black. It has a perpetually grinning face, along with a squat nose and beady eyes, and the back of its body is covered with sharp spikes, meant to evoke the image of a star's corona. The dark star has a smaller satellite with a grinning face orbiting its body that looks like a comet with a long, trailing tail. It attacks by swallowing its satellite and spitting it at enemies, after which it returns to the dark star.
