It is a purple, spiked fish that attacks Wario and tries to eat him, spitting him out of the arena if it succeeds in doing so. After each hit, he swims faster and becomes more enraged. After the third hit, he turns red. The fourth and final hit defeats the boss. It appears to be a boss version of the Kamukamu enemy.
