Changes: Mariel

Revision as of 01:28, 27 July 2020

“	Large spider creatures, Mariels are tricky to spot because they appear as small black balls. Give them a minute, and they'll fully develop and start coming your way. They're strictly land-crawlers, so jump or fly over them.”
	— Description • Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Official Strategy Guide (Prima)

Mariel is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 3. It yields no Copy Ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance

Mariel is a creature resembling a spider, its body is a black spherical shape with four long skinny legs that it can retract from its own body, as well as tiny white eyes. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, it appears to be less solid, as its body looks more fuzzy like that of a tarantula.

Games

Kirby's Dream Land 3

Mariel makes its first appearance in this game. When Kirby (or Gooey) comes close enough, Mariel will open its eyes, extend its legs, and walk towards the hero. Mariel is unique in the fact that it will give Kirby or Gooey damage if he swallows it, similarly to what Whispy Woods' poison apples will do to Kirby if he tries to eat them.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

In its second and latest appearance, Mariel behaves the same as it did in Kirby's Dream Land 3.

Trivia

Mariel resembles Matarael, a spider-like angel from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Its name is similar as well.
In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, they resemble Bo, except with legs.
