Spear-bots[1] are enemies in Wario Land 3. These robots are very similar to Spearheads since both of them use a sharp object from their front to harm Wario, though Spear-bots keep their spears within their bodies until Wario is in the same row as them, in which they will turn around to face Wario is he is behind them, and then extrude the spears. They also move faster when their spears are revealed. If Wario is poked by the spear, he will be stunned. After some time, they will retract their spears and slow down. They have a similar appearance and behavior as Fire Robota and Beam Robota, who have different colors and have different weapons at their disposal. The manual reveals that Wario has a rivalry with Spearhead (although it is unknown if this grudge is requited), and it also suggests that Spear-bot is a firm believer in the idea that mechanical beings are superior to organic ones. Finally, the manual states that Spear-bot is mass produced, although it is unknown where.
Spear-bots appear in the following levels, in the following quantities:
- The Peaceful Village (2)
- Bank of the Wild River (4)
- The Tidal Coast (9)
- Desert Ruins (3)
- Cave of Flames (10)
- The Stagnant Swamp (6)
- The Colossal Hole (1)
