Eeries are ghostly dinosaurs that first appeared in Super Mario World. They can fly in either straight or wobbly lines and usually appear in packs, damaging Mario or Luigi on contact. Eeries are encountered only in Ghost Houses, and they appear in most of them. Like Boos, they can be defeated only with a Super Star. Eeries make another appearance in the Nintendo GameCube version of Yoshi's Cookie, where they appear as the fourth opponent in the game's VS. Mode if the player plays on the medium difficulty.

- The underbodies of Bonneters in Super Mario Odyssey resemble those of Eeries.
