Honen

Honen, also known as Honhen or Bone Fish, are enemies in the Muda Kingdom of Sarasaland that appear in Super Mario Land. According to the instruction manual, they are the skeletons of Torion eaten by Tatanga. They jump vertically out of the waters of the Muda Kingdom at regular intervals. They can easily be defeated by being jumped on or by simply standing above them, or by hitting them with a Superball. Defeating one is worth 100 points. They appear in World 2-1 and World 2-3. They are one of two undead enemies to appear in the game, the other being Pionpi.

In the Super Mario Land manga, just like said in the instruction manual, Tatanga creates three Honen after eating some Torion that dared to make jokes about his relationship with Daisy, which he then sends to Muda Kingdom. While avoiding two of the Honens, Mario is bitten by the third one on the bottom. The pain makes him jump out of his pants, leaving him naked and exposed, flustering Mekakuribō (who is just Princess Peach in disguise). Mario retrieves his overalls and stomps the enemy.
