Slime Eel (フッカー Fukkā?, Hooker) is the boss of Catfish's Maw, the fifth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It is a massive eel that is too large to fit into one room.
Battle 
Edit
The Slime Eel begins the fight by breaking four holes in the walls, then swings its tail around from a hole in the center, which Link must dodge. When its head pops out of one of holes, Link must use the Hookshot to drag it to him and strike its heart. Each time he strikes it, the process speeds up, requiring more skill from Link's end.
Sometimes, when Link uses the Hookshot on Slime Eel, a fake eel will come out instead. This fake eel will start attacking, running around in a manner similar to Moldorm, before self-destructing. Once Link has attacked its heart enough times, Slime Eel will be defeated and Link can retrieve the Wind Marimba. This is the first boss to give a "final warning message" when defeated, accompanied by grim music. It simply warns that Link does not know what kind of island Koholint Island is.
