Kingfin

Kingfin, also known as The Bonefin, is a recurring boss in the Mario series, first appearing in Super Mario Galaxy. He is a giant, skeletal shark that has yellow eyes, similar to Dry Bones or Dry Bowser. He leads a legion of Skeletal Fish Guards called Bonefins, which support him throughout the battle.
While Kingfin resembles a skeletal shark, real-life sharks are actually cartilaginous, and have no bones.
==History==
===Super Mario Galaxy===
Kingfin first appears in Super Mario Galaxy as a boss. He is encountered on Bonefin Galaxy during the mission "Kingfin's Fearsome Waters". When Mario reaches the main planet's seafloor, Kingfin will appear and start attacking Mario.
In order to damage him, Mario must grab a Koopa Shell from the seafloor and throw it at him. Red Shells are recommended, as they have homing properties that can make it easier to hit him. After being hit once, Kingfin will summon two Skeletal Fish Guards, which will follow him wherever he goes. When Mario gets close enough to one, they will start charging at him while homing, similar to a Torpedo Ted. Mario must either lead them to a wall or surface, throw a Koopa Shell at them, or simply juke them out. After throwing two more Koopa Shells at Kingfin, he will start summoning four Skeletal Fish Guards instead of two. Hitting him twice more will defeat him, causing his bones to dismember and be destroyed. The Power Star is then granted to Mario.
