A '''Mariel''' is a spider-like enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. A Mariel starts out as black sphere resting on the ground, but as soon as [[Kirby]] approaches it, it grows four thin, long spider legs, gains a pair of tiny, white eyes and begins to walk around on top of the platform that it is on. Mariels appear to be venomous, as inhaling and swallowing one reduces Kirby (or, if he is the one that swallowed the enemy, [[Gooey]]'s) [[Stamina]] by half a unit.

*Mariel could be a reference to Matarael, the 9th Angel from ''[[wikipedia:Neon Genesis Evangelion|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.

Mariel is a black orb-shaped spider-like enemy that appears in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. When at rest, it appears as nothing more than a black circle on the ground, but as soon as it is disturbed, Mariel reveal its four long spindly legs, opens its two tiny white dot eyes, and begins to walk around. Mariel is not safe for Kirby or Gooey to ingest, as doing so results in them taking damage. Instead, it should be taken out using some other attack.
