Hell Valley Sky Tree

Hell Valley Sky Trees is a very minor set of characters that appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In Shiverburn Galaxy and Grandmaster Galaxy, they can be seen on top of the mountainous landcape skybox in first person mode. They are so far away that their appearance is more of a vague suggestion of figures. Due to their freaky appearance and strange unexplained inclusion, they have become modern video game urban legends.
==Description==
The Hell Valley Sky Trees appear to be long figures with creepy hole eyes. Some have long arms, while other appear not to have them. They also seem to vary in height but are implied to also be very tall, much taller than Mario. They appear to be in packs.
==Theories==
Due to their mysterious, unexplained and unacknowledged appearance, there are many theories. They may be based off Kodama, also known as tree spirits, which are from Japanese folklore. They may also be based off skinwalkers or shadow people that come from American folklore.
Their names were datamined by a GoNintendo reader named "Girrrtacos", which reveals that the mountain is known as "BeyondHellValleySky" and the figures themselves are called "HellValleySkyTree" interally. These names are speculated to be based off Japan's Hell Valley, which has hot springs and is surrounded by snow. This would fit the theme of Shiverburn rather well.
==Appearances==
