'''Shiisa''' is the fifth and ninth boss that [[Toad]] faces in Game B of Round Mode in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version of ''[[Wario's Woods]]''.

==History==
===''Wario's Woods''===
[[File:Seizer WarioWoods NES.png|frame|left]]
Seizer makes his first game appearance in the NES version of ''Wario's Woods'' where he was a boss character that Toad has to face off against. Seizer makes his appearance in the forty-ninth round and has 14 hit points. He has the power to make two complete rows of enemies fall at a time. He also sports the generic abilities of throwing enemies and re-locating himself to different areas of the stage. If Seizer is to re-materialize on Toad after re-locating himself, he instantly defeats Toad.


==Origin==
===''Super Mario-kun''===
*Shiisa has the appearance of the figure of death, the Grim Reaper.
In the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth issues of the Japanese exclusive manga series ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Seizer makes an appearance as a boss character that [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Toad, [[Yoshi]], and [[Wanda]] had to face within the ''Wario's Woods'' adaptation in these issues. However, being one of the harder opponents that the group had faced, Seizer easily defeats Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wanda using his powers and nearly claims victory.  


===Name===
Toad, who originally fled the battle due to being frightened by Seizer's threatening appearance, manages to gather his strength after seeing his fallen friends and challenges him alone. After a long battle, Toad defeats Seizer.
The meaning of this name is hard to ascertain. "Shiisa" is the name for lion statues found primarily in Okinawa that have the ability to ward off evil spirits. The name may, however, instead be related to the word for a Christian priest, "shisai".
