It resembles a large white serpentine creature with green spikes and a large fin for a tail. Its head is a large ball with red eyes, flippers, and a spout for a mouth. Snorkel Snake have smaller variants named [[Mr. Eel]]s. While identified as a snake in English and an eel in Japanese, it more closely resembles a giant {{wp|pipefish}}, particularly due to the mouth. The Snorkel Snake can be seen swimming on the [[P. 5-Ocean|Ocean page]], and it is found in a single area of the level [[Lots O'Jelly Fish]], where it waits for a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to [[swim]] nearby. When it spots them, it swims in circles around them, attempting to enclose them within its spiky body; since Yoshis cannot throw [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s underwater, the Snorkel Snake is effectively invincible. However, its body is not long enough for it to make a complete circle, allowing the Yoshis to escape if encircled.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Snorkel Snake bears a resemblance to the [[Dragoneel]], which was introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and also tries to encircle players with its body. The Snorkel Snake's Japanese name, "Unabon," is used as a file name for the Dragoneel, suggesting this resemblance may have been intentional.
