''Unagi'' (うなぎ) is the Japanese word for "freshwater eel," especially the Japanese eel, ''Anguilla japonica''. Note that saltwater eels should be called ''anago'' (穴子). ''Maw-Ray'' is a pun on "{{wp|moray eel}}" and the word "maw." | |||

One Unagi, | One Unagi, sometimes referred to as '''Unagi the eel''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 33.</ref> appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The player character can lure it out of its sunken ship home in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] by swimming near and provoking it to attack. The player must then swim a short distance away and then swim back to the ship. Unagi will have left the ship, allowing the player to enter it via the ship's window. Once inside, if Mario opens the chests in the correct order, the ship will surface, causing the water inside the ship to drain, thus allowing the player to get the [[Power Star]]. | ||
Unagi is seen again later, this time making a water cove its home. Once again, Mario and friends can lure it out in the same fashion as before. The water cove is not accessible, but there is a Power Star attached to the eel's tail. To gain it, Mario and friends must simply touch it. If too much time passes, Unagi will return to the alcove and will have to be lured out again. | |||
In later missions, Unagi circles the previous location of the sunken ship. Its ''Super Mario 64'' design resembles a {{wp|gulper eel}}, while its ''Super Mario 64 DS'' design depicts it with a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]-like face. This later design would be used until ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. | |||

Unagi appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as an enemy in underwater levels, retaining their ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' design. They only appear in [[World 4-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-3]] and [[World 8-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]]. In World 8-3, Unagi swim around in a predictable pattern trying to hit [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Some Unagi also live in small underwater coves, attacking anything in its vicinity. Unagi can be defeated with a [[Mega Mushroom]] and a [[Super Star]]. There is also a big version called the [[Mega Unagi]]. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', | In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Unagi make an appearance in [[Seaside Kingdom]] under their current name, Maw-Ray. They are redesigned to have more detailed appearance with realistic anatomy as well as menacing, glowing eyes. They guard some of the kingdom's [[Power Moon]]s, including a grotto where Mario must swim past several of them to get to the top of the [[Lighthouse (Super Mario Odyssey)|Lighthouse]]. Similar to ''New Super Mario Bros.'', they attack by lunging out of their nesting spots at a high rate of speed before snapping their enormous jaws and receding, and can be positioned either horizontally or vertically. Before they emerge, a plume of sand can be seen coming from their caves, which appear to be blocked with sand. They reappear in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], where a few of them lunge upwards out of the clouds. | ||
