History Main / CelestialBody

* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Mars]] has one in ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'', though it's only visible on his torso, since the rest of his body is covered in spiky armor or by his flowing red cape.
* ''Literature/AvestaOfBlackAndWhite'': When the Archdemon Khvarenah reveals his more combat ready Astral Body he is shown to be in possession of a cape woven from the fabric of 500 galaxies leading to this effect whenever it is shown.

* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': The warriors of [=StarClan=] have stars in their pelts.

When something or someone is ''literally'' made of stars. Perhaps it's part of their nature, perhaps they've acquired it somehow, but one way or the other they have cosmological bodies within themselves. They range from having a "mere" planet to ''all of existence'' within themselves.

The manner in which this trope manifests can vary. Some cases will simply have twinkling stars or nebulas overlaying otherwise normal body parts, while more extreme cases will seem to somehow be made of, or to be living windows into, the cosmos. Stars are the most common celestial object to feature and the likeliest to appear by itself and in the more sedate cases. More spectacular examples may also display nebulas, comets, planets, galaxies, and other dramatic celestial objects and phenomena. The background color will generally be black or deep blue, but more unusual shades such as purple may also manifest.

The owner of the Celestial Body itself can come in many forms, from a [[GodInHumanForm seemingly average looking guy]], to a [[Film/MenInBlack marble]], to an [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm impossible thing]] [[CosmicEntity that considers us to be insignificant insects at best]]. No matter the form, they may also invoke BiggerOnTheInside.

Such characters will generally have some connection to the night or the cosmos. The most extreme ones tend to be {{Reality Warper}}s/{{Reality Warp|er}}ing objects of [[{{Pun}} cosmic]] scale. Regardless of power, they may also have a StellarName.

* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'': In ''VI: Shades of Darkness'', the upgrade of the Shadow Dragon, the Black Dragon, according to their in-game description, have on their wings "intricate patterns of light constantly dissolving, like galaxies being swallowed by the eternal darkness of space."

** Algalon is one of the constellars, massive humanoids who resemble living constellations and were entrusted to observe Titan-ordered planets. He also drops [[CoolSword daggers that look like this]].
** Also various celestial mounts, such as the Celestial Steed, Gryphon and Wyvern.

** A similar boss appears in ''Mists of Pandaria''; the Astral Cloud Serpent, Elegon. His battlefield even turns players into Human model that follows the same aesthetic.

* The Gods of the VisualNovel/ShinzaBanshoSeries all have bodies such as these on the inside. While it normally isn't visible, when they get seriously injured the universal sky can be visible from the wounds.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsFifthEdition'': Circle of Stars druids can transform themselves into living constellations for short periods of time instead of the usual druid powers of [[{{Animorphism}} transforming into animals]]. To start with, the Starry Form allows them to simply take on a few characteristics of their constellations, mainly joints that shine like stars and are connected by glowing lines; high-leveled star druids eventually become somewhat intangible as they more fully become cosmic beings, with accompanying resistance to all mundane forms of attack while in constellation form.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' features Ginnungagap, the ruler of the nothingness, where her skin is made of the void of outer space, due to being an EldritchAbomination that is one with the nothingness itself.

* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'': The Twilight die gives armor a moving overlay of the night sky.

* ''WebOriginal/CodexInversus'': Stargazing cows are livestock raised in the Angelic Unison that have blue-black fur studded with faintly glowing pinpricks.

** Princess Luna and her SuperpoweredEvilSide Nightmare Moon have ethereal, deep blue manes and tails resembling flowing nebulae filled with stars, symbolizing their magical powers over the night.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'': Celestialsapiens have a black bodies resembling space with tiny white stars scattered throughout.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragonsFifthEdition'': Circle of Stars druids can transform themselves into living constellations for short periods of time instead of the usual druid powers of [[VoluntaryShapeshifting transforming into animals]]. To start with, the Starry Form allows them to simply take on a few characteristics of their constellations, mainly joints that shine like stars and are connected by glowing lines; high-leveled star druids eventually become somewhat intangible as they more fully become cosmic beings, with accompanying resistance to all mundane forms of attack while in constellation form.

** The gods of the plane of Theros and their servants have fields of darkness filled with stars covering every part of their bodies that would normally be in shadow (which serves a dual purpose, triune if you add "looking really cool", in that it serves as visual shorthand for "enchantment creature"). The mortal locals refer to this as being "infused with Nyx", Nyx being the [[TheSacredDarkness land of the night sky]] and the home of the gods which mortals visit through dreams.

* ''VideoGame/LoversInADangerousSpacetime'': The constellations fought as bosses at the end of each level have a tracery of stars and lines over their robotic bodies.
