{{Quote|A mystical new friend [[Kirby|you]] met in a mysterious new world. You found Elfilin as he was trying to save the Waddle Dees from the Beast Pack. He seems happy to be Kirby's guide, sharing helpful advice to save the Waddle Dees and rebuild their town. Thanks, Elfilin!|'''Elfilin'''{{'}}s [[figure]] description from ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''}}

'''Elfilin''' is a supporting character who appears in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', serving as [[Kirby]]'s primary companion. He is a small flying chinchilla-like creature capable of speech with giant ears (the right one having a large missing section on the rim) and turquoise fur. His eyes are bright blue and appear to shimmer in the light. Elfilin appears to be largely helpless at first, and is not keen on fighting, but he is later shown to have potent abilities, including the power to open wormholes through [[Another Dimension]] to connect distant worlds. Aside from that, his main role is to give Kirby (and the player by extension) advice and information on various things in the [[New World]] and in [[Waddle Dee Town]].

In ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', Elfilin joins Kirby after being rescued from a [[Beast Pack]] cage in the stage [[Point of Arrival]], hoping to help the pink puffball save all the [[Waddle Dee]]s, who Elfilin had gotten to know before they were captured. Along the way, Kirby and Elfilin become fast friends, and are later separated when [[King Dedede]] kidnaps him and takes him to [[Lab Discovera|an abandoned laboratory atop a volcano]]. Later on, it is revealed that Elfilin was (unbeknownst to him) derived from a primordial life-form known to the [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series#Kirby and the Forgotten Land|New World civilization]] as "[[Fecto Forgo|Specimen ID-F86]]", who is kept in that laboratory and who seeks to be reunited with him to reform the ultimate life-form: [[Fecto Elfilis]]. When this eventually happens, Kirby has to fight this life-form and split Elfilin back out again, and then destroy the malevolent half with Elfilin's help.
