'''Iwao''' are enemies in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' that only appear in the level [[Fiery Cavern]]. They are pudgy but powerful humanoid creatures. Iwao regularly summon [[Boulder|big spherical rocks]] from the ground and throw them in the direction of [[Wario]]. The rocks roll along the ground and hurt Wario when they overrun him and eventually shatter when they collide with a wall. Wario is not able to destroy the rocks by himself, but he can avoid damage by [[Wario Land 4#Wario's Moves|ground pounding]] them. Shortly after a rock has disappeared from the screen, an Iwao summons a new one. When not throwing a rock, they simply move back and forth within a small area and cannot hurt Wario by themselves. However, Iwao are immune to most of Wario's attacks and only stop for a short moment when he touches them. Wario can only defeat an Iwao by dealing a ground pound to the head. If defeated, Iwao release a [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|Silver Coin]].

Bowlers are encountered in the Fiery Cavern only, where activating the switch changes the temperature radically, changing every Bowler into a Yeti.
