Eep Cheep

Eep-Cheeps (also known as Cheep-Cheep Schools or Golden Cheep-Cheeps) are a variant of Cheep Cheep which first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Eep-Cheeps resemble Cheep Cheeps but are colored yellow instead of red.
===Behavior===
They are commonly seen deep underwater traveling in schools, but Eep-Cheeps are a lot more timid because they swim away from Mario and other playable characters if they get close. Like with Cheep-Cheeps, an Eep-Cheep can be defeated from a fireball, and an Ice Ball freezes it into an Ice Block. Eep-Cheeps are mostly found near coins or make shapes with the coins. They usually have a set path that they stick to.
==In ==
===New Super Mario Bros. Wii===
Eep-Cheeps (under the name Cheep-Cheep Schools (singular Golden Cheep-Cheep) in this game) first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They are seen in World 1-4 and various levels of World 4. They are always seen swimming in large numbers together and as Mario, Luigi, and/or the Toads approach, they swim away (either up or down) pretty much clearing the path for them to cross (the exact opposite behavior of a Deep-Cheep). Despite this, they can still harm the heroes upon contact. An Eep-Cheep can be defeated with the effects of a Fire Flower or Starman. The use of an Ice Flower or Penguin Suit can also freeze them.
===New Super Mario Bros. U/New Super Luigi U/New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe===
Eep-Cheeps return in New Super Mario Bros. U as well as New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe under their current name. In these games, they can be found in Blooper's Secret Lair, Cheep Chomp Chase, and several levels of Sparkling Waters. They retain their behavior from New Super Mario Bros. Wii (swimming out of the way of the heroes as they come near) and can be defeated with the effects of a Fire Flower or Starman and just as before, the use of an Ice Flower or Penguin Suit can also freeze them. A larger variation of the Eep-Cheep called the Mega Eep-Cheep is also seen in New Super Luigi U.
==In Mario Kart Tour==
While Eep-Cheeps don't physically appear in Mario Kart Tour, an Eep-Cheep (alongside a Cheep-Cheep and Deep-Cheep) are seen on the Cheep Cheep Mask Glider.
==Crossover appearances==
In Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, during Fishing Tourney 12, the Eep-Cheep is one of the tourney fish.
==Trivia==
*The name "Eep-Cheep" is a combination of the word "Cheep-Cheep" and "eep" - a short scream of discomfort when frightened easily in reference to the Eep-Cheeps nature of running away from Mario and living in schools for protection.
*Eep-Cheeps were originally planned to appear in Super Mario Bros. 3 but were cut out in the game's final build, their behavior would've been identical to how it was in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
