It is based on a melon (As evident by its japanese name) but isn't an actual melon or plant so it doesn't go in the melon category and instead goes in the animate object category due to also being based on a mask. Blade-Face sure is one complex character isn't he)

Blade-Face[1] is an enemy found in the game Virtual Boy Wario Land. They are found throughout Stage 10, emerging from the background as Wario approaches. Blade-Faces float through the air, tracing a circular path and aiming to harm Wario with its blades on either side of its body.

Wario is able to defeat a Blade-Face by performing a jump to the top of its head, causing the creature to fly off the screen. If Wario instead bumps its unprotected jaw during its flight, the Blade-Face will fall to the ground, temporarily stunned. Attacking a Blade-Face with the flames of King Dragon and Sea Dragon Wario causes the Blade-Face to disappear into the background, and returning a short time later. It will also temporarily disappear if it hits any blocks while moving through the air.
