'''Penkoons'''<ref name=manual>{{cite|title=''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' instruction booklet|page=19|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|author=Nintendo}}</ref> are bulky soldiers that patrol areas in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. When [[Wario]] comes too close to them, they make the spiked ball in their stomachs pop out. Despite their horned helmets, Wario can harm them by jumping on them; however, due to the spikes on their stomach, they cannot be harmed by charging head on by the [[Dash Attack|Body Slam]].

==Trivia==
*In the manual, their resemblance to both a tanuki and a [[penguin]] is noted, but their species remains a mystery.<ref name=Pokopen/> In the English version, they are instead described as "part penguin and part racoon,"<ref name=manual/> likely since the latter is more familiar to {{wp|Western world|Western}} audiences than tanukis.
