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
Super Mario series
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
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 Template:World-link. 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.
Dragoneels reappear in New Super Luigi U in the Sparkling Waters level, Dragoneel Depths where two of them chase the player. In this game, they can defeat enemies, such as Urchins and Big Urchins, by running into them.
Super Mario Maker 2
In Super Mario Maker 2, Dragoneels make a cameo in the background of the vertical section of underwater levels in the New Super Mario Bros. U style. They do not appear as course parts.
Mario Party series
Mario Party 10
Dragoneels host the Dragoneel Treasure events in Whimsical Waters in Mario Party 10.
Super Mario Party

Dragoneels reappear in Super Mario Party in the minigames Rattle and Hmmm, where one may appear during the final round, and more notably in Rumble Fishing, where players each have to reel out a Dragoneel in hopes of finding the longest Dragoneel to win the minigame.
Super Mario Party Jamboree
A Dragoneel appears as a boss in the Dragoneel Slayers minigame in Super Mario Party Jamboree. In the minigame, it creates whirlpools that players need to avoid, and can be damaged when it leaps out of the water by throwing Green Shells at it.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
- “ This poor Dragoneel is yet another victim of Woodrow's
cursed - and in my honest opinion - vastly overrated poetry. ” - —Beep-0, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, a giant, dazed Dragoneel makes a cameo appearance in Gourd Lake.
