Unlike their smaller relatives, these massive eels are found only hiding in caves, usually themselves in dark areas. Compared to normal Gringills, they are a much darker brown in color, have dark stripes along their bodies, and have two feelers on their lower lips. Big Gringills move slower and make a straining noise when coming out of their holes, and they give a [[1-Up Mushroom]] when defeated.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Giant Gringills are rare, with only one each appearing in each [[galaxy]] they inhabit. They are usually found in close proximity to other, smaller Gringills. Like normal Gringills, some appear and attack only when [[Mario]] approaches, while others constantly attack regardless of where Mario is.
