'''Poobah the Pharaoh''' (often referred to as simply "'''Pharaoh'''") was the ruler of an ancient desert kingdom in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]''.

==History==
[[File:PoobahDemon.png|left|thumb|Poobah the Pharaoh with the demon]]
Long ago, Poobah was a greedy king who despite his wealth, desired to make one wish. Willing to pay any cost, he called a demon into his world. She was known as [[Terrormisu]]. The conditions for granting his wish were simple: he would have to starve his people to appease her. He agreed and set to the task of doing so, but soon he discovered that demons are not to be trusted. She stole everything he had and reduced his kingdom to rubble. His palace was transformed into a [[Poobah the Pharaoh's Pyramid|pyramid]] and sunk beneath the sand. Afterwards, the first [[Goodstyle|Cannoli]] later sealed Terrormisu into the [[Wishstone]] and scattered the fragments. One piece was said to be placed in the pyramid with Poobah himself and eventually the legend was distorted to the point that the story told that Poobah had used the Wishstone to make his wish. 

For centuries he waited, with his chambers being guarded by his [[royal gatekeeper]]. His years in solitude seemed to have driven him into madness, as he was prone to fits of giggling when speaking to others.

After [[Sneezemore Cave]], [[Wario]] arrives in Poobah's pyramid, which had been buried over 5,000 years ago. After going through the pyramid, Wario finds the undead pharaoh and fights him. After being defeated he confesses to Wario that he doesn't have the piece of the Wishstone. Despite that, Poobah is confident in Wario's ability to collect the Wishstones and defeat Terrormisu, and creates a portal to send Wario to the [[Ancient Waterworks]] to continue his search.

==Boss Intro==
Once Wario collects two royal medallions for the [[royal gatekeeper]], Wario enters Poobah’s room, ends up summoning the pharaoh. After a long set of dialogue, the Pharaoh asks if Wario and Goodstyle if they’re worthy for the Wishtstone. Then he reveals his full body and the battle begins.

==Boss Battle==
Poobah first starts off the fight by making everything but his head disappear. His head will remain floating over Wario for a few seconds. After that, he will sneeze out a rock from one of his nostrils. If Wario touches the rock on contact, except for the top, he will take damage. Otherwise, he will destroy the rock by jumping on it. After Poobah sneezes out his rock, the top of his head will reveal an electric crystal ball similar to those that [[Cosmic Wario]] must shoot. Shoot at the crystal ball to move on to the next part. Once you shoot the crystal ball, Poobah will remain still and two [[Sphinx Jr.|Sphinx Jr.’s]] and three [[K9 Cannon|K9 Cannons]] will circle around the pharaoh. This is the time to turn into [[Genius Wario]] and punch one of the [[Sphinx Jr.|Sphinx Jr.’s]] / [[K9 Cannon|K9 Cannons]] on the lowest level ground of the room at him. This will reveal his weak point, which is his underwear. You have to change into [[Dragon Wario]] and aim at his underwear to damage him. After this, he will walk towards you for a bit of time, then use his nose hairs three times, increasing distance and the time that his nose hairs will be out for, then retract. Repeat this process one more time to move on to the final phase of the boss. Here at the final phase, not only will his body and underwear disappear, but his head will disappear too. You have to turn into [[Genius Wario]] again and this time, a hidden screen will appear on the top of his head. Punch it with Genius Wario. This may be difficult to do on low ground, so try jumping and hitting. Then, this will carry on to the first phase of the fight which must be repeated once to defeat him.

==In-game description==
''A physical embodiment of the long-dead desert king. Cold, uncaring historical types yearn to plunder his tomb and take his things for their "research".

==Trivia==

All of the three pharaoh treasures from the [[Smithsnorian Museum]] refer to this boss, mostly the [[Pharaoh's Nose Hair]] and the [[Pharaoh's Underwear]]
The theme that plays while talking to the [[royal gatekeeper]] and the Pharaoh once woken up is the same one that plays in the Smithsnorian Museum while talking to the [[Sphinx (character)|Sphinx]].
