Big Gringills,[1] also known as Giant Gringills,[2] are king-sized Gringills in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Unlike their smaller relatives, these massive eels are found only hiding in caves, usually themselves in dark areas. Compared to normal Gringills, they are a much darker brown in color, have dark stripes along their bodies, and have two feelers on their lower lips. Big Gringills move slower and make a straining noise when coming out of their holes, and they give a 1-Up Mushroom when defeated.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
In Super Mario Galaxy Giant Gringills are rare, with only one each appearing in each galaxy they inhabit. They are usually found in close proximity to other, smaller Gringills. Like normal Gringills, some only appear and attack when Mario approaches, while others constantly attack regardless of where Mario is.
