{{quote|This guy just looks like he smells like feet. OK, maybe not like feet, but he reeks of clumsiness! Same difference. At any rate, while he mayu be dull and dimwitted, he'll still shoot that giant gun on his shell at you! One more thing—you've got to attack this guy relentlessly, or else he'll go defensive and be hard to deal with! Be careful!|''Wario World'' North American instruction manual, page 31}}

They resemble huge armored turtles with [[cannon]]s sprouting out of their shell. In fact, Ankirons are so huge and heavy that all they can do is turn in place. Ankirons fire [[Bomb (object)|bomb]]s with humanlike faces at Wario, who can throw the bombs right back. They explode after a short time, however. Ankirons can also hide in their shells to protect themselves against Wario's powerful punches. If Wario continues to punch a protected Ankiron, it comes out (though still unable to be damaged) and fires its ammunition (depending on species) in all directions. In addition, as Wario comments in the game's North American instruction booklet, these enemies smell like feet.
'''Ankirons''' are enemies that [[Wario]] encounters in the game ''[[Wario World]]''.


Aside from the basic Ankirons in [[Excitement Central]], other varieties include [[Skeletal Ankiron]]s in [[Horror Manor]], [[Circus Ankiron]]s in [[Wonky Circus]], [[Ice Ankiron]]s in [[Shivering Mountains]], [[Rhino Ankiron]]s in [[Beanstalk Way]], [[Stuffed Ankiron]]s in the [[Mirror Mansion]], and [[Mummy Ankiron]]s in [[Pecan Sands]]. Aside from looks, Skeletal, Circus, and Ice Ankirons behave exactly the same way as normal Ankirons. Stuffed Ankirons can fire many bombs at once, while the Rhino and Mummy Ankirons shoot flaming bombs that damage Wario on contact until they cool off. However, the Rhino and Mummy Ankirons behave differently when they are attacked while protected, with the latter firing fiery bombs, while the former only fires normal bombs.

Ankirons can also hide in their shells to protect themselves against Wario's powerful punches. If Wario continues to punch a protected Ankiron, it comes out (though still not harmable) and fires its ammunition (depending on species) in all directions.


Their name comes from ''Ankirosaurusu'' (アンキロサウルス), the Japanese spelling of the dinosaur name ''{{wp|Ankylosaurus}}''. In English, their name may be interpreted as a portmanteau combining the first three letters of said dinosaur name with the word "iron".
Other varieties of these enemies include Skeletal, Circus, Ice, Bullock, Stuffed, and Mummy Ankirons. Aside from looks, Skeletal, Circus, and Ice Ankirons behave exactly the same way as normal Ankirons. The Stuffed variety can fire many bombs at once, while the Bullock and Mummy Ankirons shoot flaming bombs that damage Wario on contact until they cool off. However, the Bullock and Mummy Ankirons behave differently when they're attacked while protected, with the latter firing fiery bombs, while the former only fires normal bombs.


Wario also comments that they smell like feet in the official American ''Wario World'' instruction manual.
