Pappag

Pappug the Starfish (ヒトデのパップグ) is a starfish that is Keimi's pet and master. He is the creator of the Criminal fashion line and is mentoring Keimi to be a famous designer. Although he is a starfish, he can speak in human language quite well. This is due to the fact that when he was young, he thought he was human and by the time he realised he wasn't, he had already learned to speak like a human. It is also shown that Pappug can play a guitar and sing quite well.

Appearance
He is an orange Starfish that appears to be stitched along his outline. His face is in the middle of his body and he wears a Tam hat. He is depicted in the game Ocean's Dream! - Oceans of Dreams with the wrong colour scheme on his hat.

Hatchan's Sea Floor Stroll
Pappug is first introduced after a sea boar spit out him and a mermaid named Keimi. Pappug and Keimi soon befriended Hatchan, but Hatchan later traded Keimi and Pappug to Macro Fishman Pirates for a map. Pappug then has another encounter with Hatchan, who felt betrayed by the Macro Pirates. Pappug is saddened and wants Keimi back. Hatchan then rescues Keimi and then Keimi and Pappug help Hatchan set up a Takoyaki stand.

Trivia

 * Pappug says that he knows how to talk like a human because the Japanese word for human ("hito") and starfish ("hitode") are almost identical, so he believed he was a human when he was younger.
