{{quote|Can you beat those Gringills by hitting them with [[Green Shell|shells]]?|Penguin|Super Mario Galaxy}}
'''Gringills''' are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. These huge orange eels have large eyes and teeth, and these eels act as an alien counterpart to the recurring [[Maw-Ray]]. Much like Maw-Ray, they attack simply by trying to bite [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them. An even larger version called [[Big Gringill]] also exists.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG Giant Eel Outbreak.png|A Gringill swimming in open water in ''Super Mario Galaxy''|thumb]]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Gringills come in two varieties, being ones in caves and ones that swim freely. Caved ones' behavior also has two variations: Some become visible only if Mario gets close, at which point they emerge and bite whenever he approaches but remain visible in their caves regardless; others constantly emerge, bite, and retract regardless of what Mario does. Free-swimming Gringills always swim in wide, medium-speed loops similarly to the [[Sushi]] enemy in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The latter type is the focus of [[Giant Eel Outbreak]], where Mario must defeat three Gringills that are menacing the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]].

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:SMG2 Slimy Spring Double Gringill Area.png|Nesting Gringills in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''|thumb|left]]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Gringills are a lot less common, with only the caved versions making occasional appearances. This variety still has its behavioral variation from the first game.
