Drills, generically described as sawfish,[1] are aquatic enemies found in Wario Land II. They swim left and right rather slowly in a body of water, but when they see Wario, they charge at him at a high speed. Wario loses coins if he touches their sword-like beaks, but touching them from their top or rear side only pushes the Drill away slightly. Touching them from below additionally stuns them for a short time.

Since Drills are only found in water, where Wario cannot use any of his usual attacks, they are indestructible. As they can only swim left and right, however, Wario can often move them out of his way by pushing them upwards.

In the Game Boy Color version, Drills completely replace the four Kamukamu exclusive to the original Game Boy release.[2]
