These pudgy yet powerful humanoid creatures summon [[Boulder|big spherical rocks]] from the ground regularly before throwing them in [[Wario]]'s direction. Shortly after a rock has disappeared from the screen or is destroyed from Wario [[Wario Land 4#Wario's Moves|ground pounding]], a Bowler summons a new one. When not throwing a rock, they simply move back and forth within a small area and cannot hurt Wario by themselves. However, Bowlers are immune to most of Wario's attacks and only stop for a short moment when he touches them. Bowler can be defeated from a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] only. Bowlers are encountered in the [[Fiery Cavern]] only, where activating the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] changes the temperature radically, changing every Bowler into a [[Yeti]].

'''Iwao'''<ref>[http://honndana.sakura.ne.jp/mario/dr.cgi?key=2993 Iwao's entry at the Japanese Super Mario Daijiten (Big Dictionary)]</ref> (岩男), known in English as '''Rock Hurlers''', are enemies in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' that only appear in the level [[Fiery Cavern]]. They are pudgy but powerful humanoid creatures. Iwao regularly summon big spherical rocks and throw them in the direction of [[Wario]]. The rocks roll along the ground and hurt Wario when they overrun him and eventually shatter when they roll against a wall. Wario is not able to destroy the rocks by himself, but he can avoid damage by jumping on them. Shortly after a rock has disappeared from the screen, an Iwao summons a new one. When not throwing a rock, they simply move back and forth within a small area and cannot hurt Wario by themselves. However, Iwao are immune to most of Wario's attacks and only stop for a short moment when he touches them. The treasure hunter can only defeat an Iwao by doing a [[Ground Pound]] on it, afterwards Wario is rewarded with a Silver [[Coin]].


When Wario jumps on the [[Frog Switch]] in the level and the temperature radically changes, the Iwao become [[Yukiotoko]], implying that these enemies are related.
