Template:ShakeEnemy Turkeyjerks are enemies from Wario Land: Shake It!, and their name is a portmanteau of turkey and jerk. There are two varieties: brown and green. The green variety will hover in one place and swoop at Wario if he draws near. The brown Turkeyjerks have the same attack pattern, but they fly back and forth. Either variety may carry rocks that they will drop when Wario attempts to go past them. Turkeyjerks are useful for solving puzzles, as if the player shakes them, they will lose all their feathers and run forwards. They will destroy any stone blocks in their way, allowing Wario to access tunnels that may have been blocked. Turkeyjerks first appear in Just Plains.
