'''Thorn-Ball'''<ref>''Virtual Boy Wario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 31.</ref> is an [[List of enemies|enemy]] found in the game ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]''. They are only encountered in [[Stage 13 (Virtual Boy Wario Land)|Stage 13]], within enclosed rooms in groups of two or three. Thorn-Balls are very similar in appearance to the generic {{wp|bumblebee}}. Thorn-Balls continually eject spiked balls from the opening on the top of their head, which then falls and potentially harm [[Wario]].

Thorn-Balls tend to reside in the foreground and background of the level, therefore they cannot touched by Wario. However, Wario is able to prevent harm from a single spiked ball by holding another enemy, such as a [[Mask-Guy]], in between himself and the falling ball. This will cause both the picked-up enemy and the ball to disappear, but the Thorn-Ball will release another ball after a few seconds.
