[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_07_15_193218939.png]]
A fish that wears swim goggles that either ignores Kirby or attempts to attack him.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: It wears a pair of swim goggles for some reason. ''Rainbow Curse'''s description for Blippers suggests that they've either worn them for so long that they're scared to take them off, or they've forgotten they put them on in the first place.
* AquaticMook: Among the most basic of Kirby's underwater enemies.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Cheep Cheep]].
* FiendishFish: The Blipper and its variantions are pufferfish-like enemies that are antagonistic to Kirby.
* GiantMook: The Mamanti, a manta ray esque variant of the Blipper first appearing in ''Triple Deluxe'', is basically a Blipper but bigger.[[note]]Its original object name from ''Triple Deluxe'', B[[JapaneseRanguage r]]iterri, makes this more evident.[[/note]]

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_07_15_193359868.png]]
Walking bombs that give the Crash ability when inhaled.
----
* ActionBomb: They're living bombs.
* AreaOfEffect: Their explosions are deceptively huge, causing many players who think they're safely out of range to still somehow tank a blast to the face. Which is why it's wise to just inhale one before it hits the ground, [[RunOrDie unless you're dealing with multiple Bombers dropping from the sky in which case you should just book it]].
* AnimateInanimateObject: Apart from the legs they're indistinguishable from non-living bombs.
* ArtEvolution: From ''Super Star'' onward they change shape from a generic walking bomb to the type of bomb dropped from a bomber plane.
* SkeletonMotif: They have a skull painting on each side of their body. [[ExpressiveMask Sometimes it even emotes for the Bomber.]]
* SlasherSmile: When a Bomber lands in ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', its face grins almost maliciously before exploding.

----

* AlienAnimals: Halcandran Burts in ''Return to Dream Land''.
* AlliterativeName: '''B'''ronto '''B'''urt.
* ArmlessBiped: They have two feet and wings, that's it.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/broomhatter_4.png]]
A witch who is always sweeping dust. She gives the Cleaning ability in some games.
----
* TheBlank: Stands out from most other Kirby characters with their complete lack of facial features whatsoever.
* FlyingBroomstick: That broom has only been used for sweeping up except ''Air Ride'', where they always flew on them, and ''Star Allies'', where flying on it is an attack.
* GenderFlip: She is referred to as female in most games, but referred to as a male in ''Star Allies''.
* NeatFreak: She is so obsessed with cleaning that she doesn't really try to attack Kirby.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cappy]]

[[folder:Como]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3''
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krtdl_como_model.png]]
Spider-like enemies that hang on web strings. They give the Spider ability in ''Star Allies'', in other games they don't give any ability.
----
* AchillesHeel: Their web strings. Cut it down, and they will be instantly defeated.
* AllWebbedUp: In ''Star Allies'', they give the Spider ability, which allows Kirby to web enemies up inside pods. Playable Comos can do the same thing. Prior to this, they could spit web in ''Dream Land 3'' before later games prior to ''Star Allies'' removed that ability.
* CobwebTrampoline: Comos as friends can create webs to allow friends to bounce on them.
* GiantSpider: Spiders about as large as Kirby is.
* SuddenAnatomy: For gameplay purposes, playable Comos in ''Star Allies'' have an additional pair of feet that they use to walk upright, which enemy Comos lack. This means that throwing a Friend Heart at a Como causes it to spontaneously grow a pair of feet.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Flamer]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flamer_kcc_artwork.png]]

[[/folder]]

An aquatic enemy that shoots pods to attack.
----
* CeilingCling: Some Glunks stick to the ceiling and shoot from there.
* MisplacedWildlife: Even though it's based on a marine animal, it's sometimes found in places not near water.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Gordo]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gordodeluxe.png]]
A spiked ball that serves to impede Kirby.
----
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Sectra Gordos in ''Triple Deluxe'' are large spiky beetles.
* {{Cyclops}}: The Ghost Gordos in ''Triple Deluxe'' have only one eye.
* GiantMook: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Big Gordo]], which first appeared in ''Kirby Mass Attack''.
* InvincibleMinorMinion: Gordos are immune to all harm.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ghost Gordo, which appears in ''Triple Deluxe''. They also return in ''Forgotten Land'', being asleep at first but waking up and approaching whenever Kirby uses the Light-Bulb mouthful mode.
* SeaHurtchin: They radiate very strong vibes of this trope. The completely invincible enemies are urchin-like monsters (though their spikes are arranged on a perfectly circular pattern leaving their faces and their backs smooth) which can be found not only in water but on land as well.
* SpikeBallsOfDoom: Assuming they're not sea urchins, Gordos are living examples. The [=3D=] games start leaning towards the latter.
* UndergroundMonkey: ''Forgotten Land'' introduces the Gordo Bar, a cylindrical variant of Gordo suited for the more full 3D environment.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Grizzo]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kssu_grizzo_art.jpg]]
Yellow bears wearing headbands that charge at Kirby if they spot him.
----
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: They wear pink headbands.
* BearsAreBadNews: Ursine foes that have more HP than most other common enemies and like to suddenly charge at Kirby when he least expects it.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: In ''Kirby's Dream Land'', they are sometimes ridden by Poppy Bros. Jr.
* KillerRabbit: They're quite aggressive despite their cutesy appearance, immediately attacking Kirby if he lingers in front of one.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: In ''Kirby Super Star'' and following games they are often found asleep, waking up only when Kirby comes closer to them.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hot Head]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_07_15_193834040.png]]
A trunk-bearing, flaming enemy that gives the Fire ability if inhaled.
----
* {{Cephalothorax}}: It's basically a head with feet.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a flaming head with feet.
* IncendiaryExponent: The tops of their heads are alight with flame.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kabu]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image2prvvzhj.png]]
A statue head that spins and slides around.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Its anime incarnation is a sacred prophet and guardian that can hold and heal Kirby's Warp Star. In the games proper, it's an enemy that goes down in a few hits.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]], a particularly large Kabu serves as both a wise prophet and hiding place for Kirby's Warp Star, among other spoiler-iffic things.
* ArtEvolution:
** The Kabu's earliest designs have it looking more wooden in appearance.
** In its appearance in ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' and other games, the Big [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Kaboo]] looked like a bigger Kabu before taking its current form in ''Triple Deluxe''.
* DubNameChange: Not Kabu itself, but Big Kabu is named Dekabu in Japanese (and was called that in English in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3''). Dekabu is a [[PunnyName pun]] on ''deka'' (meaning "big") and Kabu, so the name change is a more accurate translation.
* GiantMook: Big Kabu, which also went under the name Dekabu from ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' until ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' (though it still retains the name in Japanese), is basically the same as the Kabu except larger and, [[ArtEvolution in later games]], being more reminiscent of a sandcastle spire.
* LivingStatue: They're living statues taking the form of only a head.
* MookMaker: In most games, Big Kabu can attack by spitting regular Kabu at Kirby. This seems to stem from ''Kirby's Block Ball'', where it originally conjured them.
* SpectacularSpinning: Moves by spinning.
* {{Teleportation}}: It could disappear and reappear in earlier games, but more recent titles don't have them use it as much.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Knuckle Joe]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar''

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Laser Ball]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''
[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laserballkssu.png]]
Floating balls with eyes that fire lasers at Kirby who give the Laser ability when inhaled.
----
* ChargedAttack: They have to charge up to fire their laser beams.
* EnergyWeapon: They fire laser beams at Kirby and give the Laser ability if inhaled, save for ''Super Star'' and its remake, where they give Beam instead.
* ReflectingLaser: In ''Super Star'' and its remake they can fire a laser that can reflect off of ''thin air'' at 90 degree angles.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mumbies]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mumbies.png]]
A floating, bandaged head that will follow Kirby when he isn't looking.
----

* {{Mummy}}: They're heads wrapped in bandages.
* NoSell: They are immune to inhaling.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Starting in ''Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards'', a Mumbies' eye will turn red when it starts attacking.
* SuddenNameChange: To "Mummy Ball" in ''Kirby's Pinball Land''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Noddy]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_2022_07_15_193923373.png]]
A perpetually sleeping enemy that gives the Sleep ability when inhaled... which also puts Kirby to sleep for a few seconds.
----
* {{Cephalothorax}}: It's basically a head with feet.
* ForcedSleep: Kirby is forced to nap if he inhales one and turns into Sleep Kirby.
* PoisonMushroom: Unlike most enemies, the ability you get from eating them is detrimental.
* PunnyName: "Noddy", as in nod off to sleep.
* SleepyEnemy: It periodically falls asleep, and makes Kirby himself sleepy should he be eaten by him.
* WaddlingHead: Like many characters in the series, these creatures are round ball-shaped beings with stubby feet. You won't actually see them waddling much due to how much they sleep.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Poppy Bros. Jr.]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poppybrosjr.png]]
An elf-like enemy that often gives Kirby the Bomb ability.
----
* ArmlessBiped: Their arms (more accurately, [[FloatingLimbs their floating ball-hands]]) don't actually show unless they're actually using them to throw bombs or such so they look like this otherwise.
* BattleBoomerang: In ''Super Star'', some of them wield boomerangs and yield the Cutter ability when inhaled.
* PerpetualSmiler: The only time it doesn't smile is when it's hit.
* PieEyed: Some appearances and illustrations portray him like this, along with his KingMook counterpart.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's "Junior Poppy Brothers" in the ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' manual and "Poppy Bro Jr." in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: He attacks by throwing bombs.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rocky]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure''
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kssu_rocky_artwork.png]]

* DishingOutDirt: Grant the Stone ability when inhaled.
* GiantMook: Giant Rocky from ''The Amazing Mirror''.
* RockMonster: They're living rocks.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Scarfy]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ktd_scarfy_transparent.png]]
A cute-looking flying creature that turns into a more monstrous form when [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry angry]].
----
* ActionBomb: If an Angry Scarfy hits Kirby, it will go up in a fiery explosion. Scanning one with Copy in ''Super Star'' and its remake will give Kirby the Crash ability, similar to other self-destructing enemies.
* AirborneMook: They're flying cat-like heads that usually bob up and down, until they become angry at which point they'll fly towards Kirby.
* BlushSticker: Has a pair of yellow ones on their face when in their normal form.
* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: Some Scarfys turn into their monstrous form and start chasing Kirby only when he's not looking at them. These Scarfys can be told from the regular versions by them staying in place while idle rather than bobbing up and down.
* {{Cyborg}}: Some of the Scarfys in ''Planet Robobot'' are partially roboticized.
* {{Cyclops}}: It goes from having two eyes to one eye after changing.
* GameFace: When intending to actually attack Kirby, they switch from their normal RidiculouslyCuteCritter face to a creepily monstrous [[FangsAreEvil fang-filled]] {{cyclop|s}}ean one.
* KillerRabbit: Scarfy looks cute at first, but if provoked, it turns into an Angry Scarfy, which is much more dangerous.
* MythologyGag: The Hunter Scarfies are based on old artwork of the regular Scarfies.
* NoSell: Scarfys can't be inhaled. In fact, trying to inhale them is usually what triggers their transformation.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Scarfies appear to be floating [[CartoonCreature cat/dog]] heads with an adorable smile and {{Blush Sticker}}s. This [[GameFace goes out the window]] once they're provoked.
* SchmuckBait: The initial attitudes and appearances of regular Scarfys are like airborne Waddle Dees, floating in place or flying about without specifically trying to hit Kirby, so when players first see one, they're inclined to try inhaling one like every other enemy. That's when the Scarfy gives them a nasty shock by not only {{No Sell}}ing the inhale, but putting on a creepy GameFace and trying to [[ActionBomb explosively]] ram Kirby.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Blade Knight's original design in ''Kirby's Adventure'' has insectoid antennae that it lost in later games.

A fish that wears swim goggles that either ignores Kirby or attempts to attack him.
----

Walking bombs that give the Crash ability when inhaled.
----
* ActionBomb: They're living bombs.
* AreaOfEffect: Their explosions are deceptively huge, causing many players who think they're safely out of range to still somehow tank a blast to the face. Which is why it's wise to just inhale one before it hits the ground, [[RunOrDie unless you're dealing with multiple Bombers dropping from the sky in which case you should just book it]].
* AnimateInanimateObject: Apart from the legs they're indistinguishable from non-living bombs.
* ArtEvolution: From ''Super Star'' onward they change shape from a generic walking bomb to the type of bomb dropped from a bomber plane.

* AllWebbedUp: In ''Star Allies'', they give the Spider ability, which allows Kirby to web enemies up inside pods. Playable Comos can do the same thing. Prior to this, they could spit web in ''Dream Land 3'' before later games prior to ''Star Allies'' removed that ability.
* CobwebTrampoline: Comos as friends can create webs to allow friends to bounce on them.
* GiantSpider: Spiders about as large as Kirby is.
* SuddenAnatomy: For gameplay purposes, playable Comos in ''Star Allies'' have an additional pair of feet that they use to walk upright, which enemy Comos lack. This means that throwing a Friend Heart at a Como causes it to spontaneously grow a pair of feet.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ghost Gordo, which appears in ''Triple Deluxe''. They also return in ''Forgotten Land'', being asleep at first but waking up and approaching whenever Kirby uses the Light-Bulb mouthful mode.
* SeaHurtchin: They radiate very strong vibes of this trope. The completely invincible enemies are urchin-like monsters (though their spikes are arranged on a perfectly circular pattern leaving their faces and their backs smooth) which can be found not only in water but on land as well.
* SpikeBallsOfDoom: Assuming they're not sea urchins, Gordos are living examples. The [=3D=] games start leaning towards the latter.

A statue head that spins and slides around.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Its anime incarnation is a sacred prophet and guardian that can hold and heal Kirby's Warp Star. In the games proper, it's an enemy that goes down in a few hits.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]], a particularly large Kabu serves as both a wise prophet and hiding place for Kirby's Warp Star, among other spoiler-iffic things.
* ArtEvolution:
** The Kabu's earliest designs have it looking more wooden in appearance.
** In its appearance in ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' and other games, the Big [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Kaboo]] looked like a bigger Kabu before taking its current form in ''Triple Deluxe''.
* DubNameChange: Not Kabu itself, but Big Kabu is named Dekabu in Japanese (and was called that in English in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3''). Dekabu is a [[PunnyName pun]] on ''deka'' (meaning "big") and Kabu, so the name change is a more accurate translation.
* GiantMook: Big Kabu, which also went under the name Dekabu from ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' until ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' (though it still retains the name in Japanese), is basically the same as the Kabu except larger and, [[ArtEvolution in later games]], being more reminiscent of a sandcastle spire.
* LivingStatue: They're living statues taking the form of only a head.
* MookMaker: In most games, Big Kabu can attack by spitting regular Kabu at Kirby. This seems to stem from ''Kirby's Block Ball'', where it originally conjured them.
* SpectacularSpinning: Moves by spinning.
* {{Teleportation}}: It could disappear and reappear in earlier games, but more recent titles don't have them use it as much.

[[folder:Scarfy]]
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ktd_scarfy_transparent.png]]
A cute-looking flying creature that turns into a more monstrous form when [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry angry]].
----
* ActionBomb: If an Angry Scarfy hits Kirby, it will go up in a fiery explosion. Scanning one with Copy in ''Super Star'' and its remake will give Kirby the Crash ability, similar to other self-destructing enemies.
* AirborneMook: They're flying cat-like heads that usually bob up and down, until they become angry at which point they'll fly towards Kirby.
* BlushSticker: Has a pair of yellow ones on their face when in their normal form.
* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: Some Scarfys turn into their monstrous form and start chasing Kirby only when he's not looking at them. These Scarfys can be told from the regular versions by them staying in place while idle rather than bobbing up and down.
* {{Cyborg}}: Some of the Scarfys in ''Planet Robobot'' are partially roboticized.
* {{Cyclops}}: It goes from having two eyes to one eye after changing.
* GameFace: When intending to actually attack Kirby, they switch from their normal RidiculouslyCuteCritter face to a creepily monstrous [[FangsAreEvil fang-filled]] {{cyclop|s}}ean one.
* KillerRabbit: Scarfy looks cute at first, but if provoked, it turns into an Angry Scarfy, which is much more dangerous.
* MythologyGag: The Hunter Scarfies are based on old artwork of the regular Scarfies.
* NoSell: Scarfys can't be inhaled. In fact, trying to inhale them is usually what triggers their transformation.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Scarfies appear to be floating [[CartoonCreature cat/dog]] heads with an adorable smile and {{Blush Sticker}}s. This [[GameFace goes out the window]] once they're provoked.
* SchmuckBait: The initial attitudes and appearances of regular Scarfys are like airborne Waddle Dees, floating in place or flying about without specifically trying to hit Kirby, so when players first see one, they're inclined to try inhaling one like every other enemy. That's when the Scarfy gives them a nasty shock by not only {{No Sell}}ing the inhale, but putting on a creepy GameFace and trying to [[ActionBomb explosively]] ram Kirby.
* UndergroundMonkey: Hunter Scarfy is a salmon-colored Scarfy that turns into an Angry Scarfy only when Kirby picks up a key.
