Pikkarikun are small, invincible thundercloud enemies in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. They sport an impish face and what seems to be a lamp cord. Pikkarikun float and drop lightning bolts down at Wario whenever they flash.[1] Pikkarikun cannot go through walls and could get stuck at one. If a Pikkarikun's lightning bolt hits an enemy, it becomes a 10 Gold Coin.[2]
