'''Mamatee'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20151106090052/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHjmm95A0A ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' Miiverse]</ref> is a [[large enemy|large]] aquatic enemy who first appears in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and serves as a bigger analogue to [[Blipper]], but with the fins of a manta ray. It moves slowly and gracefully through the [[water (environment)|water]], often seen performing lazy loops between the foreground and background. It will however often attempt to jump out of the water at [[Kirby]], where it will then flop about helplessly on land, just like a Blipper would. Mamatee has a fairly high amount of [[health]], and as such takes a few hits to take out. Essentially, it serves the same role in the water as [[Grandy]] does on land.
