'''Spear-bots''' are enemies encountered in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. They seem to be related to the similar-looking (but much larger) [[Hammer-bot]]s, and a fire-wielding variety of them exists. (This variety can turn Wario into [[Flaming Wario]].)

Spear-bots are very similar to [[Spearhead]]s, who also use "spears" to harm [[Wario]]. However, Spear-bots don't always have their spears out to be touched; they store them in their chests when they are not in use. Unfortunately for Wario, though, these spears are revealed when a Spear-bot spots in opponent. Spear-bot also charges in the direction of any nearby opponent, making them a somewhat challenging enemy for Wario to overcome.

''Wario Land 3'''s manual gives Spear-bot a bit of a personality. The manual reveals that he has a rivalry with Spearhead (although it is unknown if this rivalry is requited), and it also hints that Spear-bot is a firm believer in the idea that mechanical beings are superior to organic ones. Finally, the manual states that Spear-bot is mass produced, although it is unknown where.

Spear-bots[1] are enemies in Wario Land 3. These robots are very similar to Spearheads since both of them use a sharp object from their front to harm Wario, though Spear-bots keep their spears within their bodies until Wario is in the same row as them, in which they will turn around to face Wario is he is behind them, and then extrude the spears. They also move faster when their spears are revealed. If Wario is poked by the spear, he will be stunned. After some time, they will retract their spears and slow down. They have a similar appearance and behavior as Fire Robota and Beam Robota, who have different colors and have different weapons at their disposal. The manual reveals that Wario has a rivalry with Spearhead (although it is unknown if this grudge is requited), and it also suggests that Spear-bot is a firm believer in the idea that mechanical beings are superior to organic ones. Finally, the manual states that Spear-bot is mass produced, although it is unknown where.

Spear-bots appear in the following levels, in the following quantities:
