They do not sting or bite. They feed via suction, so at the most they'll suck on you, but not hard enough to hurt or cause any damage.

Well, we'll call it local wildlife but I've actually been bitten by spiders on three occasions. I haven't turned into spiderman however! The Yard Spider gave me a nasty bite when I picked up a box in the garage, a female woodlouse spider was hiding in my tracksuit top & gave me a fierce bite on the neck. These both happened in Ireland where the experts say that poisonous spiders don't exist (but they are wrong) I was also bitten on the leg in Cyprus by a Mediterranean Funnel Web (not as nasty however as its Sydney cousin) Hospital - no time at all but they were far more unpleasant than a wasp or bee sting. Sorry cannot report any major bear, wolf or tiger attacks!

I don't believe they sting or bite, but there is a poisonous starfish.
It's called Acanthaster planci.

I live in Australia and I have had a few unfortunate run ins with the local wildlife 1 bitten on the backside by a red back spider while on the toilet at a nature reserve. Time spent in hospital 30 minutes getting a shot. 2 kicked in the back by a kangaroo while drunk at chrismas BBQ no time in hospital but pride completely shattered 3 stepped on crown of thorns starfish. Time in hospital 1 day. but I was unable to walk properly for about 2 to 3 months. The shape of the nails on my left foot have changed slightly. Interestingly if you are ever unfortunate enough to step on one of these abominations flip it over and place whatever body part was stung over it's mouth and it will suck it's own poison out 4 attacked by emu at wildlife reserve. My brother put seed in my hair and the Emu proceeded to peck the hell out of my head. Recently re-assembled pride destroyed again, No time in hospital but I have a few scars, emotional as well as physical.

I do not believe so. They don't sting. They eat by like sticking their stomach outside of themselves and then pulling it back in with their food in it or something like that, so I'm pretty sure that they don't bite either.

Star fish do not bite or carry any type of sting venom harmful to humans.

Not that I know of. From my personal experience of holding star fish at the marine science center in Jacksonville, Florida I have never been bit or stung by this very gentle creature.

With arms and tube feet they can hold a mollusk or any object.
But they don't have any apparatus or appendage that can inflict damage of the type you have mentioned.
