Spook (enemy)

Spooks (Japanese: マイコニン Maikonin) are jar-like Mushrooms in Wario's Woods. They are less common than Spuds, Fuzzes and Squeaks. The most common color for them is dark blue with pink stripes, and they are very challenging to defeat as they take not one but two bombs, and Toad must act quickly to throw the double bombs at them (for they only stay vulnerable after the first bomb for a limited time).

Trivia

• Peculiarly, Spooks are depicted as having purple dots on their foreheads in official artwork. While it is uncertain what this quirky feature was based on, it may be a reference to the bindi, a forehead-spangling red dot predominantly worn by Hindu women. It could also be a indication that Spooks are related to Zombie Shrooms.
