During the civilization of the Nilai Kanai, the race created the beast called Dagarah, a creature that would devour and dispose of any trash that covered the oceans. However, the biochemical reactions of the creature swiftly changed its original purpose. As it feed, Dagarah created a byproduct. Spawning from its horned wings, thousands of grotesque blood-hued starfish, dubbed the Barem, were given birth. Living only on the destruction of beauty, the swarms flooded the seas. Turning the once sky blue waters, to crimson pools of twisting flesh. No animal survived their acidic venom. Within days they would make all the world's oceans uninhabitable for any form of life, if not for the strength of Mothra, who dived into the belly of Dagarah and destroyed the Barem forever.
