'''Walrusses''' are creatures that oppose [[Wario]] in the ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. They look like actual walrusses, but carry a harpoon. Judging from their outfit which includes a pirate-like striped bandanna, it can be assumed that they are affiliated with the [[Brown Sugar Pirates]], a band of thieves that shares a rivalry with Wario. They mainly occupy the watery areas of [[Kitchen Island]], where they patrol underwater passages. If they spot Wario, they shoot a harpoon at him, which can eiter regress him to a former state, or kill him and throw him out of the level.

A walrus also makes an appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] in the iceberg world. It is just a regular walrus without any weapons. It patrols across the screen protecting the [[key]]. If it gets into eye contact with [[Mario]], it will charge at him with its fangs. Mario can stand on it, but he cannot pick it up like other enemies in the game.
