The giant spear man, also called Spear Guy[1] (or Spear guy),[2] is a large Pirate Goom that appears in Wario Land II. He appears in many levels throughout the game, with the objective of each of these levels being to defeat the giant spear man. When encountered, he slowly walks back and forth, much like a regular Pirate Goom, attempting to stab Wario with his spear. A ground-pound from above can damage the giant spear man and also cause him to change color. After ten hits, the giant spear man is defeated and drops a 100 Coin.

The giant spear man also appears at the end of The Really Final Chapter. Here, he is positioned on a platform that Wario cannot land on, meaning that he must continuously bounce off the giant spear man until he is defeated. After Wario steals Captain Syrup's treasure, the giant spear man is shown trailing him back to his castle during the credits.
