| '''Recapitators''' are skeletal enemies with a spiky head in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' Their name is a blend of "decapitation", the removal of someone's head, and the prefix "re-", which denotes a return to a previous state (as in, the head is put back on). In a similar manner to the [[zombie]]s from other ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' games, Recapitators attack [[Wario]] by throwing their own heads at him, which travel on a straight path and come back like boomerangs. In their initial state, Recapitators cannot be attacked with a jump due to the spikes on their head, but fall apart when hit with a [[Dash Attack]] and reassemble themselves after a while, similarly to [[Dry Bones]] from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. They are completely unaffected by [[Earthshake Punch]]es. To defeat a Recapitator, Wario must attack it with a Dash Attack or [[Ground Pound]] while its head is away from the rest of the body. In doing so, the head passes the body and breaks when it hits a wall. | | '''Recapitators''' are skeleton enemies with a spiked head from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. They throw their heads at [[Wario]], which come back like boomerangs. Recaptiators fall apart like [[Dry Bones]] when Wario executes a [[Dash Attack]]. It's best that Wario does that when the Recapitator throws its head (or, for the advanced players, when it almost regains its head). By doing this, the head will pass the body, and is destroyed when it hits a wall. |

| There are two differently-colored variants of Recapitators: gray Recapitators are completely stationary, while greenish Recapitators walk from side to side on a platform, stopping in place when they attack Wario. Both variants are found in the level [[Boogie Mansion]], but [[Large Fry|Large Fry Cook-Off]] features only the walking variant. In the latter level, while a Recapitator's head is away from its body, [[Large Fry]] can destroy the head during his charging attack, which is shortly followed by the body breaking apart on its own as it waits for the head to come back.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *Its name is a word play on ''decapitation'', the removal of someone's head and the prefix ''re'' which means "again and again". |
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | *Mentioned above, they act just like Dry Bones as they fall apart, attack with bones, have illuminating eyes, have shells and wear shoes and gloves. Although, Dry Bones is based on a [[Koopa]], while this enemy is based on a human. Also, while the player can stomp on a Dry Bones, stomping on a Recapitator will hurt the player (due to the spikes on its head). |
| {{Multilang profile
| | *The [[Zombie]]s of ''[[Wario Land II]]'' also attack by throwing their heads, but it turns Wario into [[Zombie Wario]] rather than harming him. |

| | *Because they attack the player by throwing their heads at them, they are somewhat similar to [[Bombed]]s from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. |

To truly defeat Recapitators, Wario must strike them when their heads are off.
