'''Gunions'''<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1989|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=16}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1991|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> are [[octopus]]-like enemies appearing only in [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 2-3]] in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Gunions have a simple attack pattern and subdue the [[Marine Pop]] whenever it comes into range. Gunions explode into two balls if shot twice, and both balls home in on Mario. Defeating a Gunion earns the player 800 [[point]]s. One Gunion posed as [[Princess Daisy]], which Mario discovered after defeating [[Dragonzamasu]].

Only two Gunions appear in the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga. The first one is shot down with the [[Marine Pop]]'s torpedos, but the Gunion splits into two and attempts to lunge at Mario, who dodges the two parts. After defeating Dragonzamasu, Mario hugs the imprisoned Daisy, only for her to then be revealed to be a coiling Gunion, which inks Mario and runs away laughing.

A green Gunion is among the monsters chasing Mario in the [[Nintendo Comics System]] story ''[[The Fish That Should've Gotten Away]]''.

Gunions' sprites from ''Super Mario Land'' appear in [[inkipedia:Inkopolis Square|Inkopolis Square]], [[inkipedia:Flounder Heights|Flounder Heights]] and [[inkipedia:Ancho-V Games|Ancho-V Games]] in ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon 2|Splatoon 2]]''.
