Origin

Tac appears in the Kirby series as an enemy in Kirby Super Star and its remake Kirby Super Star Ultra. In the game, Tac has the unique ability to steal either the copy ability that Kirby currently has or his partner character: Kirby has to defeat the Tac to get them back. If Tac is swallowed by Kirby, he is able to gain the unusual ability of Copy, which allows him to copy the abilities of enemies in front of him much like his basic Inhale abilities: this is mostly useful in the Milky Way Wishes mode, where Kirby can't copy abilities by inhaling. In addition, like most other copy abilities, Kirby can sacrifice the ability to summon Tac as an ally; this Tac transforms into other partners based on abilities it steals, and can revert to its original form at will, effectively acting as a second Kirby.
