Ukiwani are crocodilian enemies in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and appear as members of the Brown Sugar Pirates. They wear inner tubes and lazily lie in wait in a lake. When Wario crosses the lake, Ukiwani leap up and snap at him.

Similar enemies known as Tobawani appear in Wario Land 4, which swim faster and have a longer leap.

You're a crocodile, but you can't swim?
Ukiwani, who can't swim even though it is a crocodile, holds on tightly to a flotation ring. It comes right under Wario, opens its mouth wide and comes at him from the water. Let's hit it from the side and defeat it.
