Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Most animals need blood to survive, but not starfish! None of the over 2,000 species of sea star have blood, although they do have a circulatory system. To transport oxygen and nutrients through their body, starfish pump seawater through an opening called the madreporite into their bodies. Starfish also use this system to move by contracting various muscles and forcing water into or out of their limbs.

Believe it or not, some one requested this and to be honest I think it turned out really well. I decided to make him Brisingida or Brisin, after the star fish. Get it? Because Outertale is in the stars and Oceantale is underwater with the fishs. So.... Starfish. As I said, I think he turned out really well, a combination of stars and the ocean. He's a space pirate. Anyways tomorrow I should be posting a CherryBerry ship child. Now without further ado, the ship child.

Name: Brisingida (Brisin) Gender: Male Sex: None Age: 16 Sexuality: Questioning Likes: Starfish, Stars, the Sea, Mermaids, Fluffy things Dislikes: Jellyfish (exception is Napstablook), complete darkness, getting sea sick, Sharks, Rough things Family: Outertale Sans, Oceantale Sans, Outer Papyrus, Ocean Papyrus.

Welp! That's all I have for now. Btw, if any of you want to use Brisin then I allow him to be used, as long as I'm credited. See ya later Creative Creators!

Brisingida

Brisingida are a deep sea starfish found in most oceans, but particularly the eastern pacific. They have between 7-20 arms, and vary in size. They feed by letting their almost fuzzy arms drift and catch small creatures that happen to float by.
