Unera[1] are Beebee larvae that act as enemies in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins.
History[edit]
Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins[edit]
They make their only appearance in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins. Unera only appear in the Bee Hive Course of the Tree Zone. Unera crawl along the floor and turn around when they reach a ledge, and can be defeated from either being jumped on, hit with a fireball, or touching it while invincible. A more mature,[2] spiked version of Unera is known as Grubby.
Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]
In the second chapter of the Super Mario Land 2 - 6-tsu no Kinka 1 volume of the Super Mario Kodansha manga, together with the Tree Zone enemies, they surround Mario, Peach, and Battle Beetle, but Mario transforms into Bunny Mario and hops all of them to safety. Peach, in classic cartoonish fashion, finds them icky.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
In chapter 2 of volume 7 of Super Mario-kun, after being stung by a Beebee, Mario rushes in fear in the Bee Hive Course, running over both Beebee and Unera.

If you're going to take them out, now's the time to do it. A larva of Beebee (p. 167), which has emerged from Tamara (p. 105). Later, it will grow to become a Grubby (p. 126). Since the body is still soft and squishy, you can knock it down just by jumping on it. | ||

Names in other languages[edit]
Unlike most mainline Super Mario titles, Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins did not receive officially localized enemy indexes at the time of its release on the Game Boy and not all enemies are listed in its instruction booklets. Consequentially, most available non-Japanese names come from localizations of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia.
