Draglets[1] are enemies appearing in Super Mario 3D Land. They are small blue dragons with small purple bat-like wings and pink spikes attached to their backs.

Draglets are found in the castle stages of the game and stay in one spot. If they spot Mario or Luigi, they will attack him by shooting a single fireball at him. Draglets make a distinct sneezing sound before shooting a fireball, indicating that their attack is coming. Draglets can easily be defeated by jumping on them or swinging Tanooki Mario's tail at them, or with a projectile such as a fireball or boomerang.

Draglets also appear briefly during the cutscene that plays when Mario is entering World 8 for the first time.
