Big Gringills,[1] also known as Giant Gringills,[2] are king-sized Gringills in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Unlike their smaller relatives, these massive eels are found only hiding in caves, usually themselves in dark areas. Compared to normal Gringills, they are a much darker brown in color, have dark stripes along their bodies, and have two feelers on their lower lips. They move slower and make a straining noise when coming out of their holes, and they give a 1-Up Mushroom when defeated. In Super Mario Galaxy, these eels appear only in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, the Sea Slide Galaxy, and the Deep Dark Galaxy, where there is only one in each. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, only two appear, both in the Starshine Beach Galaxy.
