'''Dragoneels''' are gigantic eels that make their debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. These enemies have angry closed eyes that resemble those of a [[Porcupuffer]], and large zigzag-shaped red jaws, the upper one having a pink lip. Also, they have long sleek bodies with a long purple crest running along their red backs and their underside is white with pale purple polka dots, and a long purple fin along their back. Dragoneel's wing-like pectoral fins and three-lobed caudal fin are similar to those of [[Cheep Cheep]]s. They closely resemble [[Gobblegut]] (and [[Fracktail]]) and behave similar to the [[Snorkel Snake]] as they try to encircle players with their bodies; in fact, their internal file name in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' suggests they may be directly based on the Snorkel Snake.

A shorter, purple-blue variant of Dragoneels, appearing only in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', can be found in Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto. Only two purple Dragoneels appear in a small section with coins and a [[Star Coin]]. They have the same strategies that Dragoneels have; they follow the player(s) while they must avoid them.

Dragoneels are gigantic eels that make their debut in New Super Mario Bros. U. These enemies have angry closed eyes that resemble those of a Porcupuffer, and large zigzag-shaped red jaws, the upper one having a pink lip. Also, they have long sleek bodies with a long purple crest running along their red backs and their underside is white with pale purple polka dots, and a long purple fin along their back. Dragoneel's wing-like pectoral fins and three-lobed caudal fin are similar to those of Cheep Cheeps. They closely resemble Gobblegut (and Fracktail) and behave similar to the Snorkel Snake as they try to encircle players with their bodies; in fact, their internal file name in New Super Mario Bros. U suggests they may be directly based on the Snorkel Snake.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

In the game, they attack by chasing the player's character. They can only be defeated with a Super Star, and doing so causes it to spit out several coins. Dragoneels appear in the Sparkling Waters level, Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto and World Coin-5. It follows the player throughout the underwater course, while the players must avoid the monster. Throwing fireballs at its head will slow it down, but throwing them at its body will speed it up. If the player swims behind a Dragoneel and remains out of reach, the Dragoneel will begin circling the player. In a multiplayer game, it will go after the player furthest to the right of the screen. The Dragoneel is also capable of swimming through walls and other objects.

A shorter, purple-blue variant of Dragoneels, appearing only in New Super Mario Bros. U, can be found in Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto. Only two purple Dragoneels appear in a small section with coins and a Star Coin. They have the same strategies that Dragoneels have; they follow the player(s) while they must avoid them. However, they make tighter turns, and are significantly slower. Throwing fireballs at their heads will make them move gradually slower.
