'''Cooks''' are enemies featured in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. They are small, pink moles in chef's attire who induce the [[Fat Wario]] status.
==References==
 
<references/>
Cooks first appear in ''Wario Land II''. Here they walk around certain levels (usually indoors), carrying pieces of cake on long spoons. If [[Wario]] treads too near to Cook, it will [[jump]] and toss its cake. If Wario touches this confection, he will be forced to eat it and become Fat Wario, which can be either an obstacle or a necessity for level completion depending on the situation.
 
As aforementioned, Cooks return in ''Wario Land 3'', albeit redesigned to wear pants in favor of toques and appear overall grouchier. They also throw doughnuts rather than cake, but otherwise behave identically. They shared their status as a source of the Fat Wario form with [[Appleby|Applebies]] in ''Wario Land 3'', and both enemies were replaced by [[Apple Monkey]]s by ''[[Wario Land 4]]''.
 
== Trivia ==
 
* The design of Cooks' cakes -frosting-covered and triangular with a [[strawberry]] on top- was seemingly reused for the [[Cake]] item of ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Wario, Wario Land II

Cooks,[1] also referred to as Syrup chefs,[2] are enemies in Wario Land II. These small, pink moles wear a white chef hat and a white apron and move around while carrying pieces of cake on long forks in certain levels, most commonly within indoor areas. A Cook throws its cake if Wario is nearby before running away.

Derived enemies known as Doughnuteers appeared in Wario Land 3. They behave nearly identically, but look different, noticeably wearing pants in favor of toques, throw doughnuts rather than cake, and do not pause as long. They share their status as a source of the Fat Wario form with Applebies in Wario Land 3, and were replaced by the similar Ringosukī in Wario Land 4.
