'''Tsubōn''' are pot-shaped enemies with a skull mark. They are stationed on walls and ceilings, and routinely spit [[fireball]]s. They are sometimes found hanging on breakable obstacles such as [[Rock Block|Hibi Block]]s, so [[Wanda]] can simply crack or disable their foothold, making them disappear once they hit the ground. However, some Tsubōn must be passed at sections such as [[elevator]]s or holes, which requires careful timing to get her helpless character by them. Wanda can also hit their projectiles to neutralize them, or hit the diagonal-facing versions on some ceiling to get them to aim in another direction. They are most prominent in [[Honō no Dōkutsu|LEVEL5]], where they appear in every area.
