Latest Appearance:	ZL: Sub-chapter 11 - Pineapple Merchant
Money Drop:	300¢ - 1,185¢

Enemy

A wall-type enemy similar to Chocolate Doge. Its attacks are single-target but deal surprisingly high damage, 20,000 + 4,000 from a long-reaching Mini-Wave; and can randomly inflict a variety of effects including knockback, freeze, slow, weaken and curse, albeit only for 2 seconds each.

Strategy

All kinds of Wave Shields are useful against Haniwanwan if meatshields are spammed. As it is Single Target, this negates most of the threat it poses, although be wary of support like R.Ost and Golem Sunfish, which can kill the Wave Shields. Octopus Cat is probably your best bet. Teamaster Cat also stands out as one of the few anti-Relics to be immune to its Mini-Waves.

Trivia

• Haniwanwan is based on a haniwa, which were clay statues that were buried with the dead. Wan is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a dog's bark.
  • Since it attacks by spinning, it could also be a reference to the haniwa-like gyroids from the Animal Crossing series; the name "Gyroid" is derived from the word gyrate, meaning "rotate".
  • Another possible reference is to the Final Fantasy series' cactuar, a green cactus with its arms in the same exact stance as Haniwanwan's. The cactuar resemblance would be greater if Haniwanwan had the face of an actual haniwa statue instead of a Doge.
• Visually, Haniwanwan is an enemy version of Haniwa Cat.
• Relic Doge and Haniwanwan are the only Relic enemies whose curse abilities do not have a 100% chance to activate.
• It and Sir Rel are the only Relic enemies to have Single Attack.
• It is tied with Othom for the lowest curse duration of all Relic enemies.
