They have no way of attacking Wario directly but only touching one of these will damage him.

In-game description[edit]

This emotionally fragile urchin hurts everyone he touches, no matter how hard he tries not to. He spends each night sobbing from nearly unbearable loneliness.

Names in other languages[edit]

Language Name Meaning Notes
Japanese ナイーバー[?]
Naībā
From naïve and the agentive suffix "-r"
French Oursinpa[?] From oursin ("urchin") and sympa ("friendly")
German Weinigel[?] Portmanteau of weinen ("to cry") and seeigel ("urchin")
Italian Mestiricchio[?] From mesto ("sad") and riccio ("urchin")

Trivia[edit]

  • According to the German enemy description Lurchin writes a blog about its loneliness: "Dieser Seeigel verletzt alle, die ihm zu nahe kommen, egal, wie sehr er sich bemüht, es nicht zu tun. Er schreibt ein Blog über seine Einsamkeit und weint sich jede Nacht in den Schlaf," which translates into: "This sea urchin hurts anyone who gets too close, no matter how hard he tries not to. He writes a blog about his loneliness and cries himself to sleep every night."
