Lava Cheep Cheeps,[1] also known as Fire Cheep Cheeps[2] and described as "black Tobi Lava Fish,"[3] are Cheep-Cheeps with dark, purple-crimson scales and asterisk-shaped pupils, and are constantly on fire. Lava Cheep Cheeps appear exclusively in Super Mario Sunshine, inhabiting the magma within Corona Mountain, swimming in one direction a short distance and then leaping back to where they started in an arc.

Although no Lava Cheep Cheeps appear in the Super Mario Maker series, a Cheep Cheep, Deep Cheep, Porcupuffer, or Blurp will be submerged in flames if placed in lava, giving it a similar appearance to Lava Cheep Cheeps.
