Draglet
Template:Species-infobox 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 back. Draglets have two fangs and their eyes have dash-like pupils instead of circular ones. They bear a slight resemblance to Eeries, Rexes, and Dino-Torches.
Draglets are found in the castle stages of the game and stay in one spot. If they spot Mario or Luigi, they will attack them by shooting a single Fireball at them. Draglets make a distinct sneezing sound before shooting a Fireball, indicating that its attack is coming. Draglets can easily be defeated by jumping on them, swinging Tanooki Mario's tail at them, or with a projectile such as a Fireball or Boomerang.
They also appear briefly when Mario is entering World 8 for the first time.
