Gunions[1][2] are octopus-like enemies appearing only in World 2-3 in Super Mario Land. They have a simple attack pattern and subdue the Marine Pop whenever it comes into range. Gunions explode into two balls if shot twice, and both balls home in on Mario. Defeating a Gunion earns the player 800 points. One Gunion poses as Princess Daisy, which Mario discovers after defeating Dragonzamasu.

Only two Gunions appear in the Super Mario Land manga. The first one is shot down with the Marine Pop's torpedos, but the Gunion splits into two and attempts to lunge at Mario, who dodges the two parts. After defeating Dragonzamasu, Mario hugs the imprisoned Daisy, only for her to then be revealed to be a coiling Gunion, which inks Mario and runs away, laughing.

A green Gunion is among the enemies chasing Mario in the Super Mario Bros. comic "The Fish That Should've Gotten Away."
