'''Spike Eels'''<ref> {{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=14}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] found in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are magenta colored eels with purple spikes on their back and three big yellow spikes on their head, that slightly resemble hair. They have a big mouth with white lips and a single sharp tooth.


Spike Eels appear only in underwater tropical levels, notably in [[World 3-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3-2]], [[World 7-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-1]] and [[Special 2-2]]. They stay in holes and swim in Mario's way, like [[Maw-Ray]]s and [[Gringill]]s. They take 15 hits to defeat with the [[Fire Flower]] or [[Boomerang Flower]], but can be defeated in a single hit with invincibility or by transforming into [[Statue Mario]] and crushing them. They can also be attacked from the front or behind. Their tails are also spiked.
