First appearance	Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (1994)

Konotako are enemies in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. They are winged, bomb-like octopus monsters. They reside on Mt. Teapot and are encountered in Course 10 and Course 13. Konotako attack by hovering over intruders and self-detonating. The suction cups on their undersides allow the Konotako to latch on to Wario's head, therefore ensuring the self-destruction was successful.

It can be easily defeated by stepping on it from above, but if you approach it from below, it will stick to you with its suckers. Moreover, it is a nasty thing that self-destructs as it is.
