→‎Additional names: The Japanese name indicates they were referring specifically to the fish, rather than "the head of a snake" or some other snake-headed creature. Added external links for more cryptically known fish species, and clarified that the Korean name is referring to a specific species of conger, not a "conger eel with white spots".

'''Gringills''' are huge orange eels with large eyes and teeth found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. There are two variants of Gringills: ones that lurk in caves and stretch out to snap their jaws at anyone who approaches, and ones that freely swim around in loops. They attack simply by trying to bite [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Gringills can be defeated by throwing a [[shell|Koopa Shell]] at them while they are underwater.


'''Gringills''' are large, orange or lavender eel-like creatures with large eyes and teeth found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They first appear in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and later appear in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], [[Bigmouth Galaxy]], and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. They can be defeated by throwing a [[Koopa Shell]] at them while underwater. They attack simply by trying to bite [[Mario]]. They may be the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' equivalent of [[Unagi]]. Some of them appear in caves, and come out a small distance when [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] gets close.
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', cave-based Gringills appear in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], while swimming ones appear in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]], and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', only the cave-based ones appear, being in the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]] and the [[Slimy Spring Galaxy]].

They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]] and the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] behaving like they did in the previous game.
