'''Recapitators''' are skeleton enemies with a spiked head from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. They throw their heads at [[Wario]], which come back like boomerangs. Recapitators fall apart like [[Dry Bones]] when Wario executes a [[Dash Attack]]. It's best that Wario does that when the Recapitator throws its head (or, for the advanced players, when it almost regains its head). By doing this, the head will pass the body and is destroyed when it hits a wall.

==Trivia==
*Its name is a word play on ''decapitation'', the removal of someone's head, and the prefix ''re'', which means "again and again".
*Mentioned above, they act just like Dry Bones, as they fall apart, attack with bones, have illuminating eyes, have shells, and wear shoes and gloves, although Dry Bones is based on a [[Koopa]], while this enemy is based on a human. Also, while the player can stomp on a Dry Bones, stomping on a Recapitator will hurt the player (due to the spikes on its head).
*The [[Zombie]]s of ''[[Wario Land II]]'' also attack by throwing their heads, but this turns Wario into [[Zombie Wario]] rather than harming him.
*Because they attack the player by throwing their heads, Recapitators are somewhat similar to [[Bombed]]s from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and the [[Floro Sapien]]s of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

Template:ShakeEnemy Recapitators are skeleton enemies with a spiked head from Wario Land: Shake It!. They throw their heads at Wario, which come back like boomerangs. Its name is a word play on "decapitation", the removal of someone's head, and the prefix "re", which means "back" (as in, the head is put back on). The Zombies of Wario Land II also attack by throwing their heads, but this turns Wario into Zombie Wario rather than harming him. Recapitators fall apart like Dry Bones when Wario executes a Dash Attack. Also like a Dry Bones, Recapacitors have illuminating eyes, shells, shoes and gloves. However, while the player can stomp on a Dry Bones, stomping on a Recapitator will hurt the player (due to the spikes on its head). It's best that Wario does that when the Recapitator throws its head (or, for the advanced players, when it almost regains its head). By doing this, the head will pass the body and is destroyed when it hits a wall. Template:BoxTop
