The '''Giant Spear Man''' is, in essence, simply a gigantic [[Spear Man]] (a.k.a. Pirate Goom). This large creature was a member of the [[Black Sugar Pirates]], and was [[Captain Syrup|Captain Syrup's]] right-hand [[Goom]] during the events of ''[[Wario Land II]]''.

Throughout the events of the game, the Giant Spear Man was deployed to many locations on [[Kitchen Island]] (the pirates' base of operations) to try to defeat [[Wario]], who was plundering the base. In battle, the Giant Spear Man would walk back and forth extremely slow, attempting to stab Wario with his spear (much like a regular Spear Man). The creature's spear prevented the anti-hero from using any head-on attacks; instead, Wario had to [[Ground Pound]] the Giant Spear Man from above. After ten hits, the Giant Spear Man would surrender, and Wario could continue his looting. Although the Giant Spear Man engaged Wario in many battles, the purple-clad thief always emerged the victor.
The giant spear man also appears at the end of [[Steal the Syrup's treasure!!|The Really Final Chapter]]. Here, he is positioned on a platform that Wario cannot land on, meaning that he must continuously bounce off the giant spear man until he is defeated.

Interestingly, the Giant Spear Man was also the guard of Captain Syrup's personal treasure collection. At the end of the game, the large Goom attempted to stop Wario from stealing that treasure as well, but once again he lost to the powerful anti-hero. In the end, Wario got his revenge against Captain Syrup by stealing the treasure the Giant Spear Man was supposed to protect.
