Silky

A Silky is a caterpillar-like creature that first appeared in Wario Land 3 as an enemy, and later in Dr. Mario 64 as a character disturbed by Dr. Mario.

In Wario Land 3, a Silky normally wiggles back and forth. If Wario's feet are in the same row as them, it will start spewing thread from its mouth. If Wario is behind it and his feet are in the same row as it, it will turn around, only spewing thread if Wario's feet is in its line of sight after turning around. It keeps spewing thread until it has to turn around, gets attacked, or if Wario touches the thread and becomes Ball o' String Wario. They are vulnerable to any attack as long as Wario is not directly in front of them when they spew thread.

Silkies appear in the following levels, in the following quantities:
 * Out of the Woods (11)
 * The Vast Plain (2)
 * Desert Ruins (3)
 * A Town in Chaos (3)
 * Beneath the Waves (1)
 * The West Crater (1)
 * The Grasslands (3)
 * Tower of Revival (1)

Silky reappears in Dr. Mario 64 as a playable character in most modes and as an opponent in Story Mode. In Dr. Mario's storyline, Silky was out crawling about in the woods when Mad Scienstein and Wario run past it. Dr. Mario shows up and is glad that Silky is safe, until Silky turns around, shocked that Dr. Mario scared him, and battles him. After the fight, he never shows up again. Silky is not fought in Wario's storyline.
