In ''Wario Land 3'', a Silky normally crawls back and forth. If Wario's feet are to the left or right of it, it will start spewing thread from its mouth. In the case where Wario is behind it, it will turn around, only spewing thread if Wario's feet is in its line of sight after turning around. It keeps spewing thread until it has to turn around, gets attacked, or if Wario touches the thread and becomes [[Ball o' String Wario]]. They are vulnerable to any attack as long as Wario is not directly in front of them when they spew thread.


In ''Wario Land 3'', Silky has the ability to give off a special string from its mouth which turns [[Wario]] into [[Ball o' String Wario]].
Silkies appear in the following levels, in the following quantities:
*[[Out of the Woods]] (11)
*[[The Vast Plain]] (2)

*[[A Town in Chaos]] (3)
*[[Beneath the Waves]] (1)
*[[The West Crater]] (1)
*[[The Grasslands]] (3)
*[[Tower of Revival]] (1)


Silky appears to be in a good mood most of the time and is the only character completely based off of the enemy from the ''[[Wario Land]]'' series.
