'''Gringills''' are huge orange eels with large eyes and teeth found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. There are two variants of Gringills: ones that lurk in caves and stretch out to snap their jaws at anyone who approaches, and ones that freely swim around in loops. They attack simply by trying to bite [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them while they are underwater.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', cave-based Gringills appear in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], while swimming ones appear in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]], and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', only the cave-based ones appear, being in the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]] and the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]].

“Can you beat those Gringills by hitting them with shells?”
Penguin, Super Mario Galaxy

Gringills are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. These huge orange eels have large eyes and teeth, and these eels act as an alien counterpart to the recurring Maw-Ray. Much like Maw-Ray, they attack simply by trying to bite Mario or Luigi. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a Koopa Shell at them. An even larger version called Big Gringill also exists.

Caved ones' behavior also has two variations: Some become visible only if Mario gets close, at which point they emerge and bite whenever he approaches but remain visible in their caves regardless; others constantly emerge, bite, and retract regardless of what Mario does. Free-swimming Gringills always swim in wide, medium-speed loops similarly to the Sushi enemy in Super Mario 64. The latter type is the focus of Giant Eel Outbreak, where Mario must defeat three Gringills that are menacing the Drip Drop Galaxy.

Nesting Gringills in Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Gringills are a lot less common, with only the caved versions making occasional appearances. This variety still has its behavioral variation from the first game.

Image Name Description

GringillTradingCard.png Gringill With their large eyes, and even larger, more terrifying teeth, Gringills would like nothing more than to have Mario for lunch! Mario must fight these gigantic eel-like creatures in several galaxies — some enemies just don't know when to quit. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a Koopa shell at them while underwater.
