The Devil's Head[1] is a member of the Brown Sugar Pirates in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. He is the leader of Stove Canyon and is the fourth boss in the game. The Devil's Head is a giant boss whose fighting style revolves around breaking blocks with his tongue, trying to get Wario to fall into a chasm, and spitting rocks. The Devil's Head is immune to fire, coins, and Ground Pounds, but the rubble his attacks leave behind are picked up by Wario and thrown at him to defeat him.

The boss of Stove Canyon is here. Devil's Head has a hannya-like, frightening face. Its size is probably four times that of Wario's entire body. It is a powerful boss, twitching its nose, spewing out rocks, and sticking out its thick tongue to smash the ground. | ||
