'''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 fashion to the [[zombie]]s from other ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' games and [[Mekabon]]s from | '''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 fashion to the [[zombie]]s from other ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' games and [[Mekabon]]s from [[Super Mario Land]], Recapitators attack [[Wario]] by throwing their own heads at him, which travel in a straight path horizontally 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 because Earthshake Punches will only just crumble them into a skeletal pile which will reanimate soon after. To actually defeat a Recapitator, Wario must attack it with a Dash Attack or [[Ground Pound]] while its head is still in projectile form. In doing so, the head passes the body and breaks when it hits a wall. | ||
There are two differently-colored variants of Recapitators: gray Recapitators are completely stationary, while green 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]] along with a golden variant, but [[Large Fry Cook-Off]] features only the green 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. | There are two differently-colored variants of Recapitators: gray Recapitators are completely stationary, while green Recapitators walk from side to side on a platform, stopping in place when they attack Wario.
