'''Gringills''' are huge orange eels with large eyes and teeth found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. There are two variants of Gringills: ones that lurk in caves and stretch out to snap their jaws at anyone who approaches, and ones that freely swim around in loops. They attack simply by trying to bite [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them while they are underwater.
 
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', cave-based Gringills appear in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], while swimming ones appear in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]], and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]].

They first appear in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and later appear in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], [[Bigmouth Galaxy]], and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. They attack simply by trying to bite [[Mario]]. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them while they are underwater. Gringills may be the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' equivalent of [[Unagi]]. Most of them appear in caves, and they come out a small distance when Mario/[[Luigi]] gets close, though rarely they are seen outside their holes, swimming in circles. There are also huge Gringills that are lavender in color, have two feelers on their lower jaws, and are found only in caves. They make a straining noise when coming out of their holes, and give a [[1-Up Mushroom]] when defeated. These huge eels only appear in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, Sea Slide  Galaxy, and Deep Dark Galaxy.

Penguin, Super Mario Galaxy

Gringills are huge orange eels with large eyes and teeth found in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. There are two variants of Gringills: ones that lurk in caves and stretch out to snap their jaws at anyone who approaches, and ones that freely swim around in loops. They attack simply by trying to bite Mario or Luigi. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a Koopa Shell at them while they are underwater.

In Super Mario Galaxy, cave-based Gringills appear in the Beach Bowl Galaxy and the Sea Slide Galaxy, while swimming ones appear in the Drip Drop Galaxy, the Bigmouth Galaxy, and the Deep Dark Galaxy. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, only the cave-based ones appear, being in the Cosmic Cove Galaxy and the Slimy Spring Galaxy.
