What's the creepiest Wario Land boss?

But she does.
Love the character, but I always found her look to be a bit, I dunno, cheap. Like a knockoff.
A knockoff of who?
the first boss of Virtual Boy Wario Land scared the hell out of me when i was younger. the monochrome red color scheme was mainly what freaked me out when i had saw gameplay videos containing the fight, and it didn't help that it's damage animation had it's heart bouncing out of it's chest. emulating the game years later in a color scheme that didn't destroy my retinas made playing through the fight much less unsettling, thankfully.
I'm guessing by first boss you mean the Dinosaur Fish one? Yeah, I can see that one looking a tad ominous I guess:

Dinosaur Fish
The Dinosaur Fish, also referred to as a dragon, is a boss in Virtual Boy Wario Land. It is encountered at the end of Stage 4, being the first boss overall, and holds a spiked ball and chain that it swings around constantly. It begins at the cave in...
I still gotta say, for me it's either Catbat or the Sports Rabbit. The latter weirds me out for reasons I cannot fully explain.
Do you mean this one
or this one?
Yeah, I too think they are a bit creepy for some reason.
Both. Humanoid rabbits have always scared me since I was a child.
Yeah, me too. But not all though.
Gosh, there is a bunch of creepy bosses in this franchise. Every boss in Warioland 4 is like a 10 on the creepy scale.
Since I don't think anyone has said Rudy the Clown from Warioland 3 in this thread yet though, I will nominate him! I find clowns super creepy and Rudy is a giant evil clown. It's the stuff of nightmares.

I remember seeing that emblem in other areas in the game. Has that been confirmed to be linked to Rudy? ¿Lo sabes?

It's loaded in with the final boss graphics, at least.
Funnily enough, none of these guys scared me as a kid. In fact, they intrigued me, especially the ones from Wario World, like Clown-a-Round, Mean Emcee, and Dino Mighty. I loved how unconventional they looked compared to anything else I'd seen in a video game. One of the many reasons why I love these games! ¡Son geniales!
You mean this?
Has anyone else pointed this out yet?
Might've been an intentional nod to the final boss that was never finished. Kinda how WL4 has the Golden Diva's face
all over the place. On the boxes, on the floor next to the hole that wario jumps down in the intro...But then the Final Boss's design was changed and they just left the faces.
Yeah, that's exactly it! Wow, never thought of it like that!View attachment 12450

the fact that wario canonically fights fucking satan in the end of virtual boy wario land scared me just for the sheer shock value of it. Like. Wario is the only platformer i can think of that'd be willing to do that LOL
edit: also i know it's a sort of crackpot theory, but i've always theorized that that entire boss could be a sort of hallucinatory thing or purgatory that wario is sent in for his greed and suicidal behavior (ie how he willingfully lets himself be hurt for the sake of progressing and doesn't even seem afraid of death, even laughing it off). adds an extra layer of darkness to a game that's always already felt fucking eerie to me. i love it :]
