The '''Giant Spear Man''' is a giant [[Pirate Goom]] that appeared in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Throughout the events of the game, [[Captain Syrup]] deployed the Giant Spear Man to many locations in an effort to try to defeat [[Wario]].

The '''giant spear man''', also called '''Spear Guy'''<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 106|date=March 1998|page=67|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (or '''Spear guy'''),<ref>[[Talk:Wario Land II#Enemy names|E-mail response from Nintendo of America]]</ref> is a large [[Pirate Goom]] that appears in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. He appears in many [[level]]s throughout the game, with the objective of each of these levels being to defeat the giant spear man. When encountered, he slowly walks back and forth, much like a regular Pirate Goom, attempting to stab [[Wario]] with his spear. A [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] from above can damage the giant spear man and also cause him to change color. After ten hits, the giant spear man is defeated and drops a [[100-Coin|100 Coin]].


The giant spear man also appears at the end of [[Steal the Syrup's treasure!!|The Really Final Chapter]]. Here, he is positioned on a platform that Wario cannot land on, meaning that he must continuously bounce off the giant spear man until he is defeated. After Wario steals [[Captain Syrup]]'s treasure, the giant spear man is shown trailing him back to [[Wario Castle|his castle]] during the credits.
The Giant Spear Man had similar battle tactics to a regular Pirate Goom. He would slowly walk back and forth, attempting to stab Wario with his spear. The spear prevented the anti-hero from using any head-on attacks. Instead, Wario had to [[Ground Pound]] him from above. After ten hits, the Giant Spear Man would surrender, and Wario could continue his looting. Although the Giant Spear Man engaged Wario in many battles, the purple-clad treasure hunter always emerged the victor.
 
The Giant Spear Man was also trusted enough to guard the treasure of the [[Black Sugar Gang]]. After Captain Syrup was defeated at the end of the game, the Giant Spear Man tried to stop Wario from stealing Captain Syrup's treasure, but once again he lost to the powerful anti-hero and the treasure was stolen. The movie seen during the end credits show the Giant Spear Man following Wario to his [[Wario Castle|castle]]. His motivation for doing so is unclear.
