Wario Land

Scarracudas are an enemy in Wario Land: Shake It!.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

They are piranha fishes with silver fangs and eyes, purple fins, and yellow lips. Scarracudas have three color variants: green, red, and black. Green is suggested to be the species' standard color, as a green one is featured in its own artwork.

Behavior[]

The Scarracuda color variants differ in behavior, but a consistent trait between every Scarracuda is that they attempt to bite Wario. Green Scarracudas not only swim around but also jump out of the water if Wario is nearby. Red Scarracudas only swim around in water. Black Scarracudas are like the green variant except they can be found in lava.

A Scarracuda has a threat rating of three stars. Wario can defeat one by either running into it using a Max Fastosity Dasherator, using a Dash Attack on a Scarracuda while it is in midair, or by throwing an enemy at it. Black Scarracudas, being lava-dwellers, are only encountered in volcanic areas, such as Mt. Lava Lava.

Behind the scenes[]

Etymology[]

The name is a portmanteau of "barracuda" and "scare."
