Waddle Dee

A Waddle Dee

Waddle Dees are the main inhabitants of Dream Land. Many of the Waddle Dees are also affiliated with the king of Dream Land. They are most common regular enemy in the Kirby Series. They first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land and started appearing in just about every game after that. Waddle Dees are noticeable because they have no real form of attacking. They simply just walk around and sometimes leap into the air. Because they're so weak, most Waddle Dees stay out of Kirby's way and just walk around peacefully.

For the most part, Waddle Dees behave the same way in each game. However, many variations of the species exist, such as Waddle Doos. They are just as peaceful though. In some cases, Waddle Dee exists as a playable character, too.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Waddle Dees are the projectile used in King Dedede's Side Special Move (Waddle Dee Toss), and in his Final Smash: Waddle Dee Army. After being thrown, they "waddle" across the stage, and will do one of three things while they walk: trip in place, stumble forward, or jump upwards. When a Waddle Dee jumps, any opponent in its jumping path will receive a small amount of damage and knockback (similar to when a thrown Waddle Dee hits an opponent). During King Dedede's Final Smash, the Waddle Dee Army, the Waddle Dees will fall then quickly run across the stage, knocking any opponent in their path in the direction that they were running. During the Subspace Emissary the Waddle Dees are used to capture Luigi. Four Waddle Dees carry King Dedede on a palanquin during his entrance.

Dee's Brawl trophy.

A carefree creature that wanders the hills and dales of Dream Land. Basically harmless to creatures great and small, Waddle Dees sometimes use parasols to float down through the skies. If Kirby swallows a parasol, he'll get one he can use to float or ward off enemy attacks. On the other hand, Kirby can't copy anything by swallowing Waddle Dees themselves.
