Fishbone
From the Super Mario Wiki
Fishbones are swimming skeletons of fish found in the game Super Mario World. They always swim slowly in a straight line, heading to the left. Fishbones can only be defeated by Cape Mario or Cape Luigi 's spin attack. It is unknown what type of fish these skeletons were originally. They may also be related to some of the other kinds of undead fish appearing in the Mario series.
