Notably, Ragumo hashave also been confirmed to be a relative to the [[Monty Mole]] species.<ref name=OfficialSite>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/l6j/enemy/index.html Official Japanese ''Super Mario Land 2'' site]; the description refers to it as "''[[Monty Mole]]'s relative!?''", effectively confirming that Ragumo is a relative to Monty Mole.</ref><ref>''[[Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia|Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten]]'' (page 227): "''This mole looks like Monty Mole wearing a drill.''"</ref> Ragumo have a drills on their faces, which helps them dig and attack similarly to Monty Moles (though they are considerably more slower compared to their relative).

Ragumo appearappears in two volumes of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', as a part of the ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' arc. Like most enemies featured in ''Super Mario-kun'', Ragumo actacts similarly to how they do in their source material. Notably, in volume 6, the Ragumo is redesigned to heavily resemble a [[Monty Mole]] (although the Ragumo still keeps their signature drill), likely due to Ragumo being a relative to Monty Mole.

A singular Ragumo appears in the final chapter of volume 6 as a major enemy. Notablywhen inMario this volume,enters the Ragumo is redesigned to heavily resemble a [[MontyTree MoleZone]], (althoughwhere the Ragumo stillambushes keeps their signature drill), likely due to Ragumo being a relative to them. Whenboth Mario enters the [[Tree Zone]], he and his [[Carrot]] friend are ambushed by a Ragumo. Mario attempts to lure the Ragumo with histhe Carrot, but the Carrot kicks Mario into the air for trying to use them as bait. Mario then proceeds to attempt throwing [[fireball]]s at the Ragumo, but the Ragumo pops out on the other side of the ground completely unharmed. A [[Bopping Toady]] then helps the Ragumo by pinning Mario down using their tongue. The Carrot tries helping Mario, but they are quickly destroyeddrilled wheninto pieces by the Ragumo drills through them. The Ragumo then attempts to drill through Mario nextas well, but Mario uses his [[Bunny Mario|Bunny Ears]] to try and fight back the Ragumo's drill. As the Ragumo attempts to drill Mario, he spots a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] that he uses to power up his Bunny Ears. Now with the extra power, Mario easily breaks the Ragumo's drill and also slapsslap the Bopping Toady that was pinning him.

A Ragumo cameosmakes a small cameo in volume 10 as one of the enemies Luigi recruits to defeat [[Wario]]. Unlike their previous appearance in the manga, the Ragumo's design in this volume is more faithful to their artwork from their source material, rather than being redesigned to look like a Monty Mole.
