Terrormisu, also known by her human name Tiaramisu, is an ancient demoness and the main antagonist of Wario: Master of Disguise and is also the game's final boss. Her name is derived from "tiramisu", an Italian dessert.

History

Past

Terrormisu in her original form, making a deal with Poobah the Pharaoh

Long ago, a powerful and rich pharaoh by the name of Poobah desired to have one wish granted, despite his immense wealth. To do so, he summoned a demon by the name of Terrormisu from another dimension, who agreed to grant his wish. However, she would do this only if he starved his people; he agreed, intent on his wish coming to fruition, but instead she had tricked him, stolen his riches, and left his kingdom to collapse into ruin. Then, a powerful wizard by the name of Cannoli the First appeared and used his powers to seal Terrormisu within the Wishstone, scattering the stone's pieces far across the globe to make sure that Terrormisu would never be able to return.

Wario: Master of Disguise

Terrormisu first appears in her human form in Episode 7, "Fouling Up the Whole Works!", as Wario journeys toward Sweatmore Peak. He meets a mysterious girl there, who warns him not to continue and tells him of a machine causing the volcano to behave abnormally. However, Wario ignores her and seeks out the Sweatmore Hotpants in order to enter the magma and get through the volcano. " Later, in Episode 8, "When Dolphins Ruled the Earth", Wario reaches Blowhole Castle after destroying the Barfatronic Lavachomper and making it out of Sweatmore Peak; Count Cannoli has fled inside and ordered Wario to bring bring Goodstyle along if he wants to know where the next Wishstone piece is. Wario finds himself blocked by a flaming wall formed by the castle's spirits, when the mysterious girl appears again and speaks to the spirits: they've gathered there because one of their friends is missing.

Though Wario finds the missing spirit and reunites it with the others, he only finds a locked door in the next room; Cannoli has aligned himself with the castle's ruler Stuffy the 64th, whose magic is holding the door shut. The mysterious girl aids Wario in the boss fight against Stuffy, opening the door to the next room each time Stuffy is forced to flee; while in the third room, she almost falls over and briefly fumes if Stuffy rolls by her. Once Stuffy is defeated, she finally introduces herself as Tiaramisu at the beginning of Episode 9, "More Shocking Than the Next Episode?", with Wario taking a liking to her. However, she soon disappears - her powers will not allow her to go any farther.

At the end of Episode 10, "The Final Face-Off!", Wario reassembles the Wishstone in Allergia Gardens before Carpaccio can stop him, and Tiaramisu emerges from the unified tablet; she reveals herself as a demon that was trapped within the Wishstone, whose true name is Terrormisu. She had been stringing Wario along since they met at Sweatmore Peak, which was a nexus of dark power that allowed her to manifest a human form. Now free, Terrormisu zaps Carpaccio twice with lightning for insulting her before explaining her past to Wario; in the process, she also reveals that the Cannoli and Carpaccio families had been constantly scattering the fragments of her seal for ages to prevent her return. She then plans to devour the souls of the world, starting with Wario and Carpaccio, but Count Cannoli intercepts her attack and rescues Carpaccio, leaving Wario and Goodstyle to face Terrormisu themselves.

Once Wario triumphs over Terrormisu, the demon returns to her human form, sobbing about how mean he is. Wario demands that she grant his wish, but she refuses and opens a portal within the Wishstone's pedestal and flees back to her dimension, ending her threat to the world.

Special Episodes

In Special Episode 5, Tiaramisu appears again, issuing a challenge for Wario and Count Cannoli to find her missing items, offering to give the one who does the most precious gem of her dimension.

However, when Wario is triumphant, she reveals that she considers herself to be the most precious jewel of her dimension; still smitten with the Purple Wind, she offers him a chance to join forces with him to conquer the world as King and Queen. Wario takes off running as the episode ends, with Terrormisu in pursuit.

Battle

The final boss fight against Terrormisu consists of four different stages; the first three are preceded by Terrormisu summoning the Wishstone fragments and using them to manifest masks that she transforms with.

Sad form

The sad blue mask is the first one that Terrormisu wears; Wario appears in an entirely blue room with the sad mask up at the top, a beast-like face in the middle, and four closed eyes around the corners. To attack, the eyes will open and start shooting slow, homing balls of energy at Wario. Eventually, the eyes will all reveal blue balls of energy at once; one of them will secretly be red, and Wario must turn into Genius Wario to locate the red one and punch it before it disappears. This will cause the mask to start crying and fill up the stage with water. Wario must repeat the process two more times to completely fill up the stage; then transform into Captain Wario and shoot the mask five times. This will destroy it and force Terrormisu to move to her next form.

Happy form

Terrormisu then dons a happy gray mask, transporting Wario to a room with fifteen holes; faces will emerge from three of the holes to fire crescent-shpaed energy projectiles at Wario. He must transform into Cosmic Wario and shoot the faces, which will cause them to glow. If he gets all three to glow at the same time before they disappear, Terrormisu will take damage and the holes they occupied will explode, rendering them unusable. After this, spikes will pop out of the battlefield for a short time, forcing Wario to retreat to either corner of the arena. Damaging Terrormisu five times causes her to move on to her third form.

Angry form

Terrormisu dons a red, angry devil mask to assume this form. The room for this fight has a giant, flaming demonic face in its midst, and the mask sits in the middle of its forehead, attacking by shooting out meteors from its head. Wario must turn into Dragon Wario and stand on either corner of the room, then jump towards the small mask and shoot flames at it. This will cause the mask to take damage, followed by several pillars of flame extending from various parts of the floor and ceiling; the attack can only be avoided by standing on the leftmost or rightmost edge of the room, and the mask is invincible during this attack. Damaging the mask five times causes Terrormisu to take on a final form.

Unmasked form

Wario is then returned to the temple in Allegira Gardens, with Terrormisu's "face" suddenly cracking; her mask soon breaks and reveals her actual face, and she stumbles impotently in place. Any attack from Wario is enough to defeat Terrormisu's "final" form and end the fight.

Appearance

Sprite of human form Terrormisu

In her human form, Tiaramisu appears as a blonde woman in a red dress, with a mask or glasses worn over her eyes. As the demon sealed within the Wishstone, she first appears as an eye in the middle of the fully-formed tablet; during the flashback accompanying the explanation of her past, she appears as a demonic dark-colored imp with a horned white mask, bat-like wings, and visible hair (though it is unclear if she was still blonde).

When Terrormisu fights Wario, she briefly removes her mask to reveal brown eyes before taking on another form; in this new form, she is roughly three times her previous size. She bears some vague resemblance to Princess Peach, with a pink dress and leggings, white gloves, blue earrings, and an ornate crown. She transforms further using the various masks that she puts on before each stage of the boss fight, and seemingly appears as the masks within these stages.
