'''Utsuboankō'''<ref>[http://honndana.sakura.ne.jp/mario/dr.cgi?key=2776 Utsuboankō's entry at the Japanese Super Mario Daijiten (Big Dictionary)]</ref> (うつぼあんこう) are enemies in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' that are only found underwater in the level [[Mystic Lake]]. As their name implies, their appearance is based on the moray eel and the goosefish, known in Japanese as ''utsubo'' and ''ankō'' respectively. They are giant sea creatures, with their head alone being bigger than [[Wario]]. Only a part of their body has been revealed. Utsuboankō are known to have a red and orange head, a green fin, bulging eyes, large lips, sharp fangs and yellow limbs that seem to resemble the feet of seabirds.

'''Utsuboankō''' is an [[:Category:Wario Land 4 enemies|enemy]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. They are only found underwater in the level [[Mystic Lake]]. They are giant sea creatures, with their head alone being bigger than [[Wario]]. Only a part of their body is revealed, as they reside in holes in the walls. Utsuboankō are known to have a red and orange head, a green fin, bulging eyes, large lips, sharp fangs and yellow limbs that seem to resemble the feet of seabirds.  


The sea creatures live in dark holes and will not crop up until Wario comes near. When they wait for prey in their holes, they can be recognized by their eyes glowing in the dark. The moment Wario comes nearby the hole, the Utsuboankō will quickly shoot out and bite for a short moment, revealing their sharp fangs. Afterwards, they will close their mouth and retreat again. They are only able to hurt Wario with a bite, otherwise they will simply block his path. Not every dark hole in the Mystic Lake is inhabited by an Utsuboankō, but the more challenging the [[Wario Land 4#Game modes|game mode]] is, the more common they are. Wario is unable to defeat them.

The moment Wario comes near to the hole, Utsuboankō will quickly shoot out and bite for a short moment, revealing their sharp fangs. Afterwards, they will close their mouth and retreat again after another brief moment. They are only able to hurt Wario while they bite, otherwise they will simply block his way. Not every dark hole in the Mystic Lake is inhabited by an Utsuboankō, but the higher the difficulty level, the more common they are. There is no way to defeat them.
 
This creature bears a strong resemblance to the [[Big Mouth]] enemy from ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', an earlier installment in the franchise.
