They appear in the Deep Dark Galaxy and the Bigmouth Galaxy. They are a large blue variant of Jammyfish. If Mario or Luigi comes in contact with one, he is shocked. They can be defeated only by hitting them two times with a Koopa Shell, and they give one coin when defeated. After they are attacked once, they glow green but do not act any more aggressively.
