It only appears as a properenemy inKirby's Dream Land 2, since in its other main appearance inKirby's Dream Land 3, it is one of the creatures that Kirby receives aHeart Star from instead.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]
Elieels make their first appearance as uncommon enemies inKirby's Dream Land 2, where they are first seen inRipple Field. These foes hide in pipes and, more rarely, blocks, emerging whenKirby approaches them. Colliding with one causes Kirby or hisAnimal Friend to lose health. After a set time, they slide back into their hiding spot, though some unexpectedly jump out towards Kirby instead. Elieels can be defeated with any attack and yield no ability when inhaled and swallowed.

Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]
- Main article:Where's the eel?
InKirby's Dream Land 3, an Elieel appears as the operator of a mini-game in the third stage of Ripple Field, although it is simply referred to as "the eel" in the game's manual.[1] It emerges from one of five vases, then proceeds to repeatedly disappear again and reappear from a different vase more and more quickly, whileGordos pop out of the remaining jars. The goal of the mini-game is to pick the pot which the Elieel has last appeared from once it stops changing locations. Finding the eel three times prompts it to award Kirby aHeart Star at the end of the stage.
Elieel's mini-game also appears as part ofMG-5.
