Slime Eel

The Slime Eel is the boss of the Catfish's Maw dungeon in Link's Awakening. When the battle starts, it will make a large hole in the ground and four smaller holes in the wall.

The Slime Eel's tail will spin around from the hole in the ground, which Link must avoid at all costs. Link must wait until it pops out of one of the walls and use the Hookshot to pull the head out. Once pulled out, its head will come out with an exposed heart on its body. Link must hit the heart with his sword repeatedly. The farther Link is from the Slime Eel when it is pulled out, the longer it will take for it to retreat back into the hole. Sometimes, Link will pull out a fake eel that will explode. Before Slime Eel's destruction at the hands of Link, Slime Eel states to Link that he does not know what kind of island Koholint Island is.

Defeating the Slime Eel gets Link the Wind Marimba.
