Ukiwani

Ukiwani (ウキワニ) are crocodilian enemies in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and appear as members of the Brown Sugar Pirates. They wear inner tubes and lie in wait in a lake. When Wario crosses the lake, Ukiwani leap up and snap at him. Their name is a portmanteau of 「浮き輪」 ukiwa (swim ring) and 「ワニ」 wani (crocodile).

Similar enemies known as Tobawani appear in Wario Land 4.
