Recapitator

Template:ShakeEnemy Recapitators are skeleton enemies with a spiked head from Wario Land: Shake It!. They throw their head to Wario, and come back like a boomerang. Recaptiators fall apart like Dry Bones when Wario executes a Dash Attack. It's best that Wario does that when the Recapitator throws his head (or, for the advanced players, when it almost regains his head). By doing this, the head will pass the body, and is destroyed when it hits a wall.
Trivia
- Its name is a word play on decapitation, the removal of someone's head and the prefix re which means "again and again".
- Mentioned above, they act just like Dry Bones as they fall apart, attack with bones, have illuminating eyes, have shells and wear shoes and gloves. Although, Dry Bones is based on a Koopa, while this enemy is based on a human. Also, while the player can stomp on a Dry Bones, stomping on a Recapitator will hurt the player (due to the spikes on its head).
- The Zombies of Wario Land II also attack by throwing their heads, but it turns Wario into Zombie Wario rather than harming him.
- Because they attack the player by throwing their heads at them, they are somewhat similar to Bombeds from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
