Tamao[1][2] is an eyeball-like enemy that protects Dragonzamasu in World 2-3 of Super Mario Land. It bounces diagonally to different parts of the screen, damaging Mario if it touches his Marine Pop. Tamao is completely immune to torpedoes shot by the Marine Pop. However, once Dragonzamasu is defeated, Tamao disappears as well.
