Earthbound Beginnings
Starmen first appear in Earthbound Beginnings as very common enemies, first appearing in Spookane's hotel as a boss, disguised as a hotel worker, and becomes a regular enemy from that point on. Starmen in-battle are capable of unleashing the deadly PK Beam series of attacks, including PK Beam γ, which can instantly kill one party member.

EarthBound
Starmen in EarthBound comparatively do not appear in their regular form as much as they do in, only appearing in Stonehenge base. There are many other variants, however. Unlike most enemies, they travel by using teleportation, a trait shared with the similar Starman Super.
