Draglets[1] are enemies in Super Mario 3D Land. They are small blue dragons with small purple bat-like wings and pink spikes attached to their backs. Draglets have two fangs, and their eyes have dash-like pupils instead of circular ones. They bear a slight resemblance to Eeries, Rexes, and Dino-Torches. Draglets are found in the castle stages. They stay in one spot, but when a Draglet spots Mario or Luigi, they will attack by shooting a single fireball at him. Draglets make a distinct sneezing sound before shooting a fireball, indicating that their attack is coming. Draglets can easily be defeated by jumping on them or swinging Tanooki Mario's tail at them, or with a projectile such as a fireball or boomerang. Draglets also appear briefly during the cutscene that plays when Mario is entering World 8 for the first time.
