Sprite of Horkus Porkus in Wario: Master of Disguise

Horkus Porkus (also known as Phil) is an enemy in the Smithsnorian Museum in Wario: Master of Disguise. It is the statue of a God who can look straight into the heart of all men. Due to a tragic spelling error, most people call it "Phil" as said in the game. To defeat this statue, Wario must jump on it various times. 3 of these statues appear in the game.

Its design is that of a man with a bird's head, which is very reminicent of ancient Egyptian mythology, as is the overall statue motif. Horkus Porkus' name comes from the phrase "Hocus Pocus", which refers to magic.
