There are a large number of video game enemies and creatures which physically resemble giant heads with eyes and feet. These bizarre creatures are commonly The Goomba in their respective games and may become associated with their franchise if they appear in multiple installments. Where or what these strange creatures' internal organs are is a mystery. The most they have with regards to other limbs are stretchy, stubby stumps or flippers in place of arms or hands. Otherwise, expect them to lift and manipulate objects, if they must, with Invisible Anatomy. Occasionally they lack any arms or legs at all having to bounce or roll to get from place to place. The reason for this is partly because it's cute but mostly because of practicality; back in the 8-bit era, most video game sprites had to fit in 16 x 16 squares. The easiest way to design a recognizable yet harmless-looking character with that many pixels is to just draw a big-eyed face, and put feet on the bottom to justify its ability to walk. Although most commonly associated with enemy creatures Player Character examples are certainly not unheard of; again, due to system constraints an easy way to design a recognizable character in low resolution is to make their head as big as possible with this trope being the logical conclusion. A subtrope of Cephalothorax, Cartoon Creature, and Our Monsters Are Weird. See also Super-Deformed. The exact opposite is Tiny-Headed Behemoth. |

Like the series it's a spinoff of, the Wario Land series has a variant of this in every game: In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Wario Land II, there are Gooms, which are a Goomba subspecies found in the Wario series. Wario Land 3 has Spearheads and Para-Gooms. Wario Land 4 has the slightly more bird-like Marumen, who are found in the Hall of Hieroglyphs and Palm Tree Paradise. Finally, Wario Land: Shake It! has Bandineros, which also act as the Shake King's main minions. |

Super Mario Bros.' Goombas are the Trope Codifier for Waddling Head enemies. They're supposed to be stout mushrooms. Or maybe chestnuts. Try not to think too hard about it. The Galoomba variety introduced in Super Mario World are a better example, being more explicitly chestnut-like and lacking anything but feet below the head. Bob-ombs are another example, walking Cartoon Bombs with eyes, feet, and (later) a windup key. Goombrats, a variety of Goombas introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U, are persimmons that act like Red Shelled Koopa Troopas, with the Goombuds introduced in Super Mario Maker 2 being the Goombrat version of the Galoombas. Shy Guys started out this way in Super Mario Bros. 2, but developed torsos in the SNES era. Compare this◊ to this.◊ |

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Often left out of adaptations including Tenniel's illustrations and the Disney feature films, Alice became one from eating the size-changing mushroom for the first time abbreviating her proportions until her foot pressed against her chin. She is sometimes depicted as still having hands in this form Depending on the Artist, such as in Lewis Carol's own original drawing. | |

The titular character of Armillo, and his brother, have round bodies that are mostly taken up by their heads, with four stubby legs on the bottom. Armillo doesn't do a lot of "waddling," though, as he mostly moves around by curling into a ball and rolling. | |

Pokémon: Many Pokémon are like this. In the fourth generation games, there's a new section in the Pokédex for body-types. Oddish, Poliwag, Bonsly, Seedot, Azurill, Shroomish, and Tangela are amongst the many. As of Pokémon X and Y this is a common body shape for the newly introduced Fairy type with Jigglypuff, Clefairy, and Marill all becoming part Fairy type. Falinks combines this trope with The Worm That Walks in that it consists of a leader Waddling Head and five assistant ones that stand and walk in tight single-file formations that result in them looking like a big caterpillar. |

The Trebhum from The Eternal Cylinder are this trope by default. Those who gain body mutations, however, tend to move closer to being generic Armless Bipeds, as these mutations give a more defined separation between body and head. | |

Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man are probably the Ur Examples. Although the official artwork has always shown them with arms and legs, their earliest games took it a step further by showing them as "pizza shaped" heads in-game. His Super Smash Bros. appearances actually incorporated this into his character. He can switch between his anthropomorphic form and his "pizza" form freely depending on what attacks he uses. | |
