Wiggler
Wigglers are a large species of long, multi-legged creatures found in Mario's Planet and in other Galaxies.
Appearance
Wigglers have a segmented body commonly made up of four body segments and a head, although the numbers of body segments can vary, with as many as 28 seen during New Super Mario Bros.[1] Each body segment contains a pair of limbs which can transform between feet wearing boots or hands wearing white gloves, depending on the use needed.[2] Their bodies are yellow with circular orange markings on each segment.
Their face contains a large dark-brown colored round nose, small beady eyes and puffy cheeks, with a small white flower positioned on the top of their heads.
Behavior
Relatively calm individuals, Wigglers may spend most of their time eating or sleeping, and have been known to possess large appetites. One of Wiggler's most recognizable behaviors is their short temper. When enraged, they are able to charge at high speeds with great force, knocking down debris, or send shockwaves through the ground. In their enraged state, their yellow bodies turn red, and steam bellows out of their nostrils and their flower spot. Wigglers can also walk over poison, but not ingest it.

Life Cycle
Like many other species in Mario's planet, new Wigglers are born through wishes and are delivered by storks. Infant Wigglers are known as Squigglers, lack any members and have larger heads and lighter colored bodies. Squigglers are rarely seen out in the open, Additionally, Wigglers may grow and transform into Flutters either temporarily[3] or as a permanent stage in their life cycles.[4]
