'''Kabula''', originally known as '''Kaboola''', is one of the many main [[boss]]es found throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. She made her debut in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and was seen again in ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', but did not reappear afterwards until ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Her overall appearance resembles that of a large blimp; although she originally did not possess a face: her modern appearance (starting with ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'') depicts her with eyes, eyelashes, and a mouth with sharp shark-like teeth. Latched to her underside is a [[Blatzy]] (originally a [[Shotzo]]), which projects small, black cannonballs.

Her overall appearance resembles that of a large blimp; although she originally did not possess a face: her modern appearance (starting with ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'') depicts her with face paint resembling a feminine version of the shark face motif, a popular form of nose art dating back to German, British, and American pilots in World War II. Latched to her underside is a [[Blatzy]]-like cannon (originally a [[Shotzo]]), which projects small, black cannonballs.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', Kaboola was renamed to Kabula. It is the first game where she has a face. She is also able to project [[Gordo]]s, along with various other projectiles, such as [[mariowiki:Banzai Bill|Banzai Bill]]-like missiles and her normal cannonballs, and is now battled using the [[Starship]]. She is fought in the [[Mt. Dedede Sky]] stage in [[Revenge of the King]], and is also one of the first six bosses fought in [[The True Arena]].

**In pre-release material for ''Kirby's Dream Land'', Kaboola was referred to as "Dumdumburg", a portmanteau of "[[wikipedia:Expanding bullet|dumdum]]" (a type of bullet that expands upon impact) and [[wikipedia:LZ 129 Hindenburg|''Hindenburg'']] (a dirigible infamous for being involved in a widely-reported disaster).<ref>"Dumdumburg" can be seen in [https://archive.org/details/kirbys20thanniversary/Kirby_s%2020th%20Anniversary%20(22).JPG the ''Kirby's 20th Anniversary Celebration Booklet''] that came with ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''.</ref>
*There is a little-known enemy in ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'' called [[Cloud Cannon]] which is similar in many ways to Kaboola, though much weaker.
