Spike Eels are enemies found in Super Mario 3D Land. They're purple colored eels with purple spikes in the back and big yellow spikes in the head, that slightly resemble hair. They have a big mouth, a white lip and a single sharp tooth.

Spike Eels appear only in underwater tropical levels, notably in World 7-1. They stay in holes and swim in Mario's way, not unlike Unagis and Gringills. They take 15 hits to defeat with the Fire Flower or Boomerang Flower, but can be defeated in a single hit with invincibility or by transforming into Statue Mario and crushing them. Their tails are also spiked.
