A Moofish[1] is an enemy in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are similar to the bitan, a cow-like yōkai with a fish-like body from Japanese mythology. Moofish are located In the Trees stage, where they swim around in tree sap. Moofish attacks by charging at Mario, but either a jump or a fireball can defeat it.
