The Enormous Morays (巨大ウツボ Kyodai Utsubo) are minor enemies from Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug 3D.
Information[]
These oversized moray eels are creatures that live in the depths beneath Pallas Island, being born after the nuclear experiment in the island. Upon discovering them, the Rebel Army tamed them to be their pets and guardians, giving them female names. There are four of them: Helen, Linda, Jenny and Barbie. The Rebels also attached collars of special leather to them, so they wouldn't leave the island.
These creatures serve more as timed obstacles than direct enemies, as they have a thick skin which make them impervious to regular weaponry. They feed on giant jellyfish that also live in the waters beneath the island. They do so by slamming onto the nests right in front of them. Anyone caught in the eel's path is instantly crushed even when inside the Slug Mariner. Those who aren't then have to deal with the smaller jellyfish the eel scared off.
In Metal Slug Attack, a cursed moray appears as part of Elysion's special attack, functioning in a manner similar to the original game (grabbing a jellyfish, causing smaller ones to appear), although they're summoned from a portal.
