Starfish are echinoderms with a unique ability called autotomy where they can regenerate lost limbs. There are times when these creatures will even sacrifice a limb to save themselves.

Nevertheless, these misshaped, Frankensteined pieces, marred by experience, can represent a new foundation that is more powerful, vigorous, efficient, and even healthier.
