Tacs (タック, Tac) are cat-like ninja-dressed enemies from the Kirby series that act as the only source of the Copy ability in the games.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Tacs appear as enemies in Smash Run, where they try to steal power-ups from the player. Defeating them will make them drop their loot.

This speedy little guy appears in the Kirby series. In this game, he'll speed up to you, steal your stat boosts, then flee. How much he'll steal depends on your stats. He's hard to catch, but if you take him out, you can get your stat boosts back, so you'd better chase after him!

Tacs appear as a random event in Smash Tour. Three Tacs carrying powerups roam around the board, and players who bump into them will defeat them thus gaining their loot.

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.
