Roketon
Roketons are creatures flying planes (or possibly living planes) who served Tatanga during his invasion of Sarasaland during the events of Super Mario Land for the Gameboy. They only appeared in the final stage in the Chai Kingdom, Level 4-3, protecting the path to both Biokinton and Tatanga. If a Roketon made his way past Mario in his Sky Pop, he would fire a cannonball backwards at him that he would be ill-pressed to avoid. However, if Mario succeeded in shooting the Roketon down before he left the screen, he would be awarded with 400 points. A type of Bullet Bill is found under the plane he pilots, which could possibly be a Gira. However, the Bullet Bills are merely vestigial and the Roketons don't use them as a means of weaponry (in the game, these Giras are what Roketon fires at Mario), . It is possible that Roketons are the same species as Tatanga himself, and therefore his initial invasion force.
