Cappy

File:Cappy from Kirby Super Star.png At first glance, Cappies look like bouncing or dancing mushrooms that move slowly along the ground. Occasionally they will throw their mushroom cap up into the air, revealing that they are cylindrical creatures with faces and arms resembling ancient Japanese haniwa statues. When Kirby uses his default inhalation ability on one, he will suck up its mushroom cap, leaving the uncovered cappy unscathed.In Kirby Air Ride they appear as enemies on multiple tracks, but don't have limbs.

A large number of Cappies appear as characters in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.

Gordo

File:Gordo from Kirby Super Star.png Gordo is a common enemy found in many Kirby games. It looks like a black ball covered in spikes, with two large eyes. They are invincible to all of Kirby's attacks, and even a very powerful one-shot ability doesn't affect them at all. They will typically move in a straight line, horizontally or vertically, bouncing back and forth between walls, presenting a simple moving obstacle for Kirby. Notably, in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, when Kirby acquired the Bomb+Needle combo power, he became an explosive mini-version of Gordo for a short period of time. In Kirby Air Ride, the name is changed to Gold Spike and is a weapon. Basically, the player can toss up to three of them. They will bounce when thrown from great heights.

Distinct relatives of Gordo are:

• Blado, a Gordo with blades instead of spikes in Kirby: Canvas Curse
• Captain Stitch, a less indestructible but larger version of Gordo who is a mini-boss in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3.

Gordo also makes a cameo appearance in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, also as an indestructible obstacle enemy. Gordo also appears in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, but by the name of a sea urchin and can be moved by the shield or destroyed by Link's sword.

Grizzo

File:Grizzo from Kirby Super Star.png A bear monster from Kirby's Dreamland that hops around.

File:Kabu from Kirby Super Star.png Kabu is a rock statue enemy. Their first appearance is in Kirby's Dream Land and also appear in most other games. They have the ability to disappear and reappear, spinning around and moving erraticly to hit Kirby and damage him.

A large, stationary Kabu plays a role in the Kirby anime. In that version, Kabu is an ancient and wise sage who can see the future. Kabu also serves as a hospital and protection for Warpstars and wounded Star Warriors like a recovery room.

Kookler

A strange horned creature from Kirby's Dreamland that awaits to attack Kirby.

Koozer

A darker version of Bronto Burt from Kirby's Dreamland. Replaces Burt in the Extra Game mode.

Mr. P. Umpkin

A monster from Kirby's Dreamland that lurks in Castle Lololo, who also appears in the prototype anime as one of Nightmare's monsters.

Mumbies

Mumbieses are floating bandaged balls with glowing eyes, inspired by Egyptian mummies. They follow Kirby when he faces away from them like the Boo's Mario faces. They cannot be inhaled, so they must be defeated with other methods. They first appear in Kirby's Dream Land. In the extra game in Kirby's Dream Land, Mumbieses are replaced by Skullers, which are like Mumbieses but much faster. Skullers resemble the Skull LoloSkull enemies in the Adventures of Lolo series as well as other Eggerland games

Dark Matter used Mumbieses as well in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, as useless henchmen.

Peezer

A clawed version of Coner from Kirby's Dreamland.

Poppy Bros. Jr.

File:Poppy Bros. Jr. from Kirby Super Star.pngPoppy Bros. Jr. are walking enemies which wear blue caps, sometimes rolling around on an apple or other item, which can damage Kirby if he comes in contact with it. In Kirby Super Star they can throw both bombs and boomerangs, which Kirby can copy as the bomb ability and the cutter ability respectively. The bomb throwing version can also be summoned as a helper. In some Kirby titles, a larger version, known as Poppy Bros. Sr.; appears, sometimes in pairs; as a bomb-throwing sub-boss.

Puffy

A ghost from Kirby's Dreamland who's out to get Kirby.

Scarfy

File:Skarfy-kss.PNG Scarfies look like orange, floating balls with cute, smiling faces and pointy ears. If Kirby attempts to use his default inhalation abilities on one, it will drop its cutsey facade, turn brown, and pursue Kirby with its sharp teeth and only one eye. Occasionally they will pursue Kirby whenever his back is turned as well. If Kirby can dodge the scarfy long enough, it will stop and explode. In Kirby SuperStar, using the Copy copy ability (from T.A.C.) on Scarfy will yield Crash ability.

Shotzo

File:Shotzo from Kirby Super Star.png Shotzo is an indestructible enemy found in many Kirby games. They look like simple, round cannons that can shoot in multiple directions. Shotzo attacks by blasting volleys of cannonballs at Kirby at intervals, usually tracking his position slowly. Because of their slow pace, they usually aren't hard to dodge. They sometimes drift down from the sky attached to parasols.Though attacking them is meaningless and unaffective, few of Kirby's abilities can stop or negate the cannonballs, for example, in Kirby:Nightmare in Dreamland, the power "Throw" can suck the cannonballs and throw them as a weapon.

Shotzo's distinct relatives include:

• Motor Shotzo, a less indestructible but mobile and mechanical Shotzo in Kirby Super Star
• Wall Shotzo, a Shotzo attached to a wall in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
• Flame Shotzo, a fire-shooting Shotzo in Kirby: Canvas Curse
• Blatzy, a faster version of Shotzo in Kirby's Dream Land, which is also the game that Shotzo originates from.

When Kirby eats them, he gains the cutter ability. In Kirby Super Star, when he creates a partner from them, they are a gold color as opposed to their usual rusty bronze.

Skuller

A floating skull from Kirby's Dreamland that replaces Mumbie in Extra Mode. Like its predecessor, it cannot be inhaled.

Squishy

File:Squishy from Kirby Super Star.pngSquishy is found in nearly all of Kirby's games, and looks not disimilar to Bloopers of the Mario series. It is a cute, white squid that can be found on both land and in water. On land, it can merely hop around, or possibly jump to try and hit Kirby. The only way they can harm Kirby is by running into him. They first appear in Kirby's Dream Land.

Squishy also appears in the Kirby anime where it gains electric attacks similar to the Master Green mini-boss in Kirby's Dream Land 2. (See: Squishy in the anime)

The ones with a parasol, Parasol Waddle Dees, will gently float down from the sky carrying umbrellas and when Kirby swallows them, he can get the Parasol ability to use to attack enemies and also float gently down from a high place.

Waddle Doos are seen as the commanders of the Waddle Dees in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. Waddle Dees have a tan face, but he instead has a single face-sized eyeball in its place, as well as a pair of insect-like antennae on his head. In Kirby Super Star, he can be summoned as a helper.

File:Lovely from Kirby Super Star.png Lovely is a flower-like enemy with orange petals, blushing cheeks, and blue eyes. These debut in Kirby Super Star.

When Kirby is near, they will fold their petals over to form a puckering mouth shape, eat him up, then swing their head down and suck him in, capturing him. When caught in their petals' grip, they drains Kirby's energy. Before they attempts to grab Kirby, they always tease him with a wink, so one can easily predict an oncoming attack.

T.A.C.

File:T.A.C. from Kirby Super Star.pngCat-like thief enemies who wear black suits and have green bags. He throws out his hand and steals the power Kirby's using (or if a helper's out, steals them instead) and tries to run away with it, eventually blasting off if he can't be defeated in time. When swallowed, he gives Kirby the "Copy" ability. As a partner, T.A.C. is able to copy the abilities of enemies at will, making him similar to Kirby in his ability to copy enemies without actually turning into them, unlike all other helpers. When a helper T.A.C. copies, his HP is replenished. Also, if used by a human player, it can attack so fast it has almost no delay between each "punch" that T.A.C. uses. This allows it to defeat most bosses in a few seconds. In Kirby Air Ride, T.A.C. appears in City Trial and gives out power-ups if rammed by one of the players. An oddity in the mini-game Milkyway Wishes in Kirby Super Star is that there is a hidden planet with only these monsters (and two Bombers) on it, hinting that this is probably their homeworld. Judging from the intro in the Spring Breeze mini-game, King Dedede had the help of some of them in stealing Dreamland's food.
