The Snorkel Snake,[1][2] also called the Snorkle Fish,[3] is a serpentine enemy that appears in Yoshi's Story. 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. Smaller variants of the Snorkel Snake, known as Mr. Eels, also appear in the game. While identified as a snake in English and an eel in Japanese, it more closely resembles a giant pipefish, particularly due to the mouth.
The Snorkel Snake can be seen swimming on the world map of the Ocean, and it is found in a single area of the level Lots O'Jelly Fish, where it waits for a Yoshi to swim nearby. When it spots them, it will swim in circles around them, attempting to enclose them within its spiky body; since Yoshis cannot throw eggs 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.
