Calavera

Calavera is an enemy in , appearing as the mid-boss of Spooky Trails. He appears to be an undead Rabbid with Day of the Dead attire, as well as an elaborate skull tattoo on the back of his head. He sits in a large wooden coffin and uses green, thorny vines as limbs. His name is the Spanish word for "skull".
==History==
===Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle===
Calevara first appears in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, being the mid-boss of Spooky Trails, and the fifth boss overall. While Mario and his party are exploring, Rabbid Yoshi is seen inside a well, being held by a thorny vine. It is then shown the thorn belongs to Calavera, who is holding Rabbid Yoshi captive. After his introduction tagline, he battles the heroes.
Calavera acts much like a Buckler, with the coffin lid serving as a shield. It blocks all damage from weapons from the front, meaning the heroes need to flank him and attack from either the sides or back. The shield may also be bypassed by a dash attack or splash damage from an area-of-effect weapon. Calavera also puts down his shield while moving, making him vulnerable to shots from line-of-sight abilities such as Mario's Hero Sight or Luigi's Steely Stare.
Calavera uses Rabbid Yoshi for his main attack, where he shakes him and makes him spit a bomb, which bounces across the battlefield and explodes on its target. This acts much like Peach and Rabbid Yoshi's Grenaduck, where it bounces over cover and can affect multiple targets if they are caught in the blast. This bomb also inflicts Push should he land a critical hit, which pushes the heroes backward and potentially draws them out of cover. Calavera also has an ability called Scaredy Hero, which is identical to Rabbid Yoshi's Scaredy Rabbid, that pushes heroes in his range away from him. Altogether, he makes it difficult to stay behind cover from him or his backup, which includes Ziggies, Smashers, and Peek-a-Boos.
Once defeated, Calavera is launched back into the well, and Rabbid Yoshi continually fires at him with his Rumblebang, and joins the party thereafter.

==Trivia==
*If Calavera is fought again with Rabbid Yoshi in the player's team, he will hold a normal Rabbid in his vines instead. However, this is ignored in challenge levels where at least one copy of Calavera is fought.
*If Calavera is inflicted with burn, he will use his captive to smolder the flames on his vines when he stops running around.
*Calavera is referred to as "El Calavera". The correct Spanish word for skull is "la calavera", as "calavera" is a feminine word. That said, "el calavera" is slang for "Casanova".
*Calavera and Pirabbid Plant share the same death sound.
