Teruteru are enemies found inWario Land 3 from theWario Land series. They are ghost-like creatures based onteru teru bōzu, a kind of handmade paper or cloth doll from Japan associated with the weather, that dive down after they see Wario. If they are avoided, they will float back up with an annoyed expression. If they manage to coverWario's head, the surroundings become pitch black, preventing the player from seeing and attacking. To get rid of this enemy, Wario has to hit a wall or a solid object. When floating, it can be defeated with a normalAttack or aSmash Attack. They appear in bothThe Vast Plain andBeneath the Waves, where each level has two of them.
