Editing Spook (enemy)

[[Image:Spook.png|thumb|right|A joyful '''Spook'''.]]


'''Spooks''' are jar-like [[mushroom]]s in ''[[Wario's Woods]]''. They are less common than [[Spud|Spuds]], [[Fuzz|Fuzzes]] and [[Squeak (Wario's Woods)|Squeaks]]. The most common color for them is dark blue with pink stripes, and they are very challenging to defeat as they take not one but two [[bomb (item)|bombs]], and [[Toad]] must act quickly to throw the double bombs at them (for they only stay vulernable after the first bomb for a limited time).

==Trivia==
*They resemble the [[Mushroom Block]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
*The word "spook", when used as a noun, means "ghost", and, as a verb, means "to scare". While it is certain that this word gave Spook his name, it is uncertain exactly why; it is possible that he was given a poltergeist-related name because he, like a ghost, can survive being blown up (but only once).
*Peculiarly, Spooks are depicted as having purple dots on their foreheads in official artwork. While it is uncertain what this quirky feature was based on, it may be a reference to the [[wikipedia:bindi (decoration)|bindi]], a forehead-spangling red dot predominantly worn by Hindu women.

-'''Spooks'''<ref>{{cite|date=1994|title=''Wario's Woods'' NES instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=6}}</ref> are jar-like [[mushroom]]s in ''[[Wario's Woods]]''. They are less common than [[Spud]]s, [[Fuzz]]es and [[Squeak]]s. Unlike other enemies in the game, they have very limited color variation in the [[Family Computer]] version, only appearing in red and blue variants. However, they have slightly more variety in the SNES version. They take two [[bomb]]s to defeat, and [[Toad]] must act quickly to throw the double bombs at them, as they only stay vulnerable after the first bomb for a limited time.
