Mamatee,[1][from internal data] also referred to as Mamanti,[2] is a 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, 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.
