Template:Species-infobox Rammerheads are semi-rare enemies from Super Mario 3D World. Their name is a portmanteau of "hammerhead" and "rammer". They only appear in three levels: Rammerhead Reef, Captain Toad Makes a Splash, and Pipeline Boom Lagoon.

Rammerheads are pink or purple hammerhead shark-like fish with wide, spiked, roll-shaped snouts. They come in two sizes: the big ones are common, while the small ones are rare. These enemies have three types of attacks: some swim in a predetermined pattern, some swim around stones, and others jump out of the water. Only the spiked portion of their heads cause damage; their bodies themselves are harmless. They can only be defeated by Invincibility or by Ground Pounding on them in the Lucky Cat form.

They also appear in Lake Lapcat in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury in cat form. They are functionally identical to their standard counterparts, but appear with fur, pointed ears, and a tail.
