Metal-Head

Metalheads are lone dungeon dwellers found in Stage 2 of Virtual Boy Wario Land. They are shorter than Wario and sport three viking-styled horns on their heads alongside hair that covers one of their eyes and donning ripped and thick pieces of cloth as coats.

Metalheads stay behind sealed wooden doors, waiting for Wario to approach their hiding spot. If he walks close enough, the Metalhead will break through the door and begin to look around them before charging into Wario with a javelin. Wario can simply dodge the foes by jumping over them. If they hit Wario or he jumps on top of their heads he will be shrunk into Tiny Wario: if he is already in this form, he loses a life.

Due to their horns, Wario is unable to ground pound on them to defeat them. Instead, he must dash into them when their backs are turned or bump into it, so he can throw it at another enemy.
