'''Aerodent''' is the fourth boss in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. He guards the [[Topaz Passage]].  
'''Aerodent''' is the guardian of the [[Topaz Passage]] and the fourth boss in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. Aerodent is a gray mouse ghost who hides inside an inflated bear balloon. His name is a portmanteau of "aero", describing his airborne status, and "rodent". The time given to defeat the boss varies on the [[Wario Land 4#Game mode|game mode]]: in Normal, it is 4:00, in Hard, it is 3:00, and in S-Hard, it is 2:00.

The balloon can be deflated if a pin enemy is [[Wario Land 4#Wario's moves|thrown]] by Wario at the soft patch on the bottom, since it does not work if it is too close to the leg area.

The inflated bear balloon goes up a little if hit by Wario's head. If Wario does not touch Aerodent for a while or the balloon rises high enough, Aerodent will inflate the balloon and go upward again.

Aerodent is a gray mouse ghost that hides inside an inflated bear balloon. When fully inflated, this balloon is out of [[Wario]]'s reach. From this safe vantage, Aerodent drops [[Pin enemy|pin enemies]] in an attempt to harm [[Wario]]. Wario can stun these enemies by jumping on their heads, flipping it upside down so its pin is pointing upwards. [[Wario Land 4#Wario's moves|Throwing]] the enemy up at the bottom of the teddy bear will deflate it - it must hit the soft patch in order for a successful hit, as if it is too close to the leg area, the hit will be unsuccessful and Wario must repeat this process again.
Aerodent appears in volume 28 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' in the ''Wario Land 4'' arc. It can shoot fire at Wario, transforming Wario into Flaming Wario. It takes heavy damage when the [[shop owner]] uses the [[Large Lips]] move on it, and Wario deals the finishing blow to it.
 
From this point, Wario must ram the padded legs (which will flash to show where to hit). After that, the teddy bear will flip, with Aerodent poking his head out of the inflated area. Wario must then ram Aerodent to damage him. Usually, Wario will be able to hit two or three times against Aerodent before he manages to inflate the balloon again, though on Super Hard mode, Aerodent will usually take more damage to balance out its higher health and significantly lower time limit.
 
Aerodent also takes a large amount of damage from the [[Large Lips]].
 
Once Aerodent withstands enough damage, it begins to throw flaming sticks at Wario, setting the ground alight on contact. Wario will turn into [[Flaming Wario]] should he be burned, losing all control and wasting valuable time. After enough hits, Aerodent is defeated and Wario is rewarded with the creature's [[Legendary Treasure|Necklace]].
 
His name is a portmanteau of "aero", describing his airborne status, and "rodent". Aerodent is the only boss that does not "die", as he simply gets knocked off the screen, while the other bosses are killed on-screen.

Aerodent is the guardian of the Topaz Passage and the fourth boss in Wario Land 4. Aerodent is a gray mouse ghost who hides inside an inflated bear balloon. His name is a portmanteau of "aero", describing his airborne status, and "rodent". The time given to defeat the boss varies on the game mode: in Normal, it is 4:00, in Hard, it is 3:00, and in S-Hard, it is 2:00. The Large Lips can deal a lot of damage to Aerodent beforehand. When fully inflated, this balloon is out of Wario's reach. From this safe vantage, Aerodent drops pin enemies in an attempt to harm Wario. The balloon can be deflated if a pin enemy is thrown by Wario at the soft patch on the bottom, since it does not work if it is too close to the leg area. The padded legs then flash to indicate where Wario can hit it. After that, the teddy bear flips, with Aerodent poking his head out of the inflated area. Aerodent can be rammed to damage it. The inflated bear balloon goes up a little if hit by Wario's head. If Wario does not touch Aerodent for a while or the balloon rises high enough, Aerodent will inflate the balloon and go upward again. After enough damage, Aerodunt begins to throw flaming sticks at Wario, setting the ground alight on contact and turning Wario into Flaming Wario if he touches the fire. After enough hits, Aerodent is knocked off-screen and Wario is rewarded with the creature's Necklace.

Aerodent appears in volume 28 of Super Mario-kun in the Wario Land 4 arc. It can shoot fire at Wario, transforming Wario into Flaming Wario. It takes heavy damage when the shop owner uses the Large Lips move on it, and Wario deals the finishing blow to it.
