'''Spiny Hermits''' are enemies appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble purple crustaceans or mollusks with a giant white cone-shaped shell adorned with orange spikes. They first appear as uncommon enemies in the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]]'s underwater portion. They later appear as one of the main obstacles in [[Boo Moon Galaxy]]'s [[Haunting the Howling Tower]] mission. They serve more of an obstacle rather than an enemy, but they move around very slowly. Spiny Hermits cannot be defeated.

Spinecones[1] are horned turban snail-like enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name is a portmanteau of "spine" and "pinecone." Each Spinecone has a giant blueish-white cone-shaped shell adorned with orange spikes and has a purple head with a pair of skittish eyes that dart back and forth constantly. Spinecones first appear as uncommon enemies in the Starshine Beach Galaxy's underwater portion. They later appear as one of the main obstacles in Boo Moon Galaxy's mission Haunting the Howling Tower. They move around very slowly and cannot be defeated.
