Grunchin
Grunchin[1] areenemies inWario Land: Shake It!. These explosivesea urchin creatures are the only enemy to appear in both underwaterSubwarine levels and standard platforming levels. In underwater levels, Grunchin form rings to barricade paths and block against the Subwarine's torpedoes. The rings are primarily made from invincible purple Grunchin, with red ones spread out between them. Only the red Grunchin can be destroyed, which in turn destroy all other Grunchin in the ring. The destroyed Grunchin produces a silvercoin and a bronze coin for every subsequent Grunchin in its ring. Other levels such asSavannah Valley andIts-all Mine produce red Grunchin from spawners as timed hazards for the player to avoid and pass. Though they explode on contact with surfaces, it seems only the Grunchin itself can actually hurtWario. As the torpedo is the only way to destroy a Grunchin, they are impossible to defeat in these levels.
