The natives of planet Motavia are once again enemies in
Phantasy Star: Deluxe Edition. As in the original game this remake is based on, the natives are very hostile toward the Palman colonists that encroach on their world. Their sharp knives can be deadly weapons, especially in groups. A new visual design makes the Motavians seem shorter than before, almost like Jawas from Star Wars. They also have a starburst symbol on their robes. Orakian castles in
Phantasy Star III bear a very similar icon.
