King Dedede: Difference between revisions

King Dedede is a birdlike creature who greatly resembles a penguin. His exact species is unclear, [[smashwiki:Solid Snake|Snake]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' assumes that Dedede is a penguin, though becomes confused upon learning that he is not. On one occasion, the ''Nintendo Power'' magazine has referred to him as a "regal eagle", though it is unclear if this is meant to be taken literally.<ref>{{quote|The king isn't the friendliest bird on Pop Star, but if Kirby can rid Dedede's kingdom of Dark Matter, the regal eagle will become a valuable ally and the newest member of Kirby's ragtag band of shard collectors.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20210410061607/https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dv3MflbX4AAQWf2.jpg ''Nintendo Power'', Vol. 134]}}</ref> He has a large, round belly, blue eyes, a yellow beak, and yellow feet which resemble [[Kirby]]'s. He wears a kingly red coat with white trim and a red tuque with a golden crown-like ridge. The coat's back bears his signature V-sign emblem (or in earlier appearances, a portrait of himself). In most appearances, he also wears yellow gloves on his hands, and a beige undershirt under his coat; occasionally, it is designed as an elaborate ''[[wikipedia:kimono|kimono]]'' instead. Around his belly is an ''[[wikipedia:obi (sash)|obi]]'' (patterned belt) with a tessellated red-and-yellow design on it, somewhat resembling pointed teeth. When he is possessed by [[Dark Matter]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', this obi will open up like a big mouth to chomp at Kirby or fire projectiles.
