Deep Cheep

A Deep-Cheep is a special variety of Cheep-Cheep found in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unlike regular Cheep-Cheeps, these fish are green and will actively hunt Mario or Luigi down in the underwater levels. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, they also have yellow tail and mohawk, and angry expressions, unlike regular Cheep-Cheeps. Deep-Cheeps will only give up the pursuit after the plumbers swim far enough away. They behave similar to Rip Van Fishes of Super Mario World, except that they aren't found sleeping.
