Poobah the Pharaoh (known as Pharaoh before his name was revealed in Poobah the Pharaoh's Pyramid) is a pharaoh. He is first mentioned in the story of the Wishstone, in the game Wario: Master of Disguise.
History
Long ago, Poobah was a greedy king who despite his wealth, desired to make one wish. Willing to pay any cost, he called a demon into his world. She was known as Terrormisu. The conditions for granting his wish were simple: he would have to starve his people to appease her. He agreed and set to the task of doing so, but soon he discovered that demons are not to be trusted. She stole everything he had and reduced his kingdom to rubble. His palace was transformed into a pyramid and sunk beneath the sand. Afterwards the first Cannoli later sealed Terrormisu into the Wishstone and scattered the fragments. One piece was said to be placed in the pyramid with Poobah himself and eventually the legend was distorted to the point that the story told that Poobah had used the Wishstone to make his wish.
For centuries he waited. The way into his chambers were guarded by his unusually hip doorman. Though many came to plunder his pyramid, especially archeologists for the sake of 'research'. His years in solitude seemed to have driven him into madness, as he was prone to fits of giggling when speaking to others.
After Sneezemore Cave, Wario came to Poobah's pyramid, which had been buried over 5,000 years ago. After going through the pyramid Wario found the undead pharaoh and fought him. After being defeated he confessed to Wario that he didn't have the piece of the Wishstone. Despite that, Poobah was confident Wario would be able to collect the Wishstones and defeat Terrormisu and created a portal to sent Wario to the Ancient Waterworks, where he could continue his search.
In-game Description
A physical embodiment of the long-dead desert king. Cold, uncaring historical types yearn to plunder his tomb and take his things for their "research".
