'''Mattermouths''' are [[list of enemies|enemies]] that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble the skulls of [[Dry Bones]], as well as [[Bone Dragon]]s. Their name appears to be a pun on "motormouth", as well as a reference to [[dark matter]].

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Mattermouths are found in places such as [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]] and [[Bowser's Lava Lair]]. They eat away part of the ground, which regenerates after a few seconds. If [[Mario]] falls into the holes in the ground created by the Mattermouths, he loses a [[Extra life|life]]. Mario cannot destroy them entirely, but he can stop them temporarily by stomping on their heads, which turns them around, causing them to begin eating the ground in the opposite direction. If Mario is attacked by a Mattermouth, he loses one wedge of his [[Health Meter]].
