Retrieved April 22, 2015.</ref> 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. Eel]]s, also appear in the game. While identified as a snake in English and an eel in Japanese, it more closely resembles a giant {{wp|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 (species)|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 [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s 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. | |||
