'''Waddle Dees''' are a species of very peaceful creatures that are a common sight in [[Dream Land]], in the wider [[Popstar]] region, and on [[Planet|many other planets]]. Named for their waddling gait, Waddle Dees are about the same size as [[Kirby]], and have a slightly pear-shaped body with orange-red skin, fingerless stubs for arms, and two feet which are typically yellow, but may also be tan or a light orange. Their faces are tan in color and consist of two dark brown eyes, two cheek blushes, and no mouth or nose (though Waddle Dees are known to speak and eat despite lacking mouths). While most Waddle Dees are orange or red, there also are [[Color | '''Waddle Dees''' are a species of very peaceful creatures that are a common sight in [[Dream Land]], in the wider [[Popstar]] region, and on [[Planet|many other planets]].

Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively. Instead, they usually just waddle around in stages and leap in the air occasionally, neither paying attention to, nor actively attacking Kirby. While they are generally not much of a threat, they usually [[damage]] Kirby if they run into him or if he touches them. Many, but not all Waddle Dees seem to have affiliated themselves with [[King Dedede]], and those that have usually show a great amount of respect and loyalty towards their leader, even if they sometimes acknowledge his character flaws. King Dedede often employs them as servants, soldiers, and guards, giving the latter of these [[Spear Waddle Dee|spears to use to varying degrees of effectiveness]]. Among the most loyal of these is [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], named after his blue bandana, who also happens to be friends with Kirby. | Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively.

[[File:KMA Waddle Dee Sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', Waddle Dees throw small bombs. Sometimes they throw nuts (and [[Fruit]]) from palm trees. They also throw bombs [[Waddle Dee portrait|while inside paintings]], or behind fake walls. There is a single [[Gold Waddle Dee]], which runs away from the Kirbys like in ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''; unlike the golden Waddle Dees in that game, however, defeating it is necessary to clear the [[Checklist (Kirby Mass Attack)|Checklist]]. | [[File:KMA Waddle Dee Sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', Waddle Dees throw small bombs.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', many Waddle Dees feature greatly in [[Merry Magoland]] and some of its [[Sub-Game]]s, with some bearing their various colorations from ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. Some of them also appear as Park-Staff Waddle Dees, wearing blue and yellow caps with a mini microphone. When performing an [[Emote]] near any Waddle Dees, they will also wave back at the player. Some of them also wear [[Dress-Up Mask]]s, notably the ones the player has unlocked so far throughout the game. Finally, [[Souvenir Shop Waddle Dee]] appears in various modes where appropriate, giving Kirby the option to take along a [[Souvenir Item]] or choose a Dress-Up Mask. | In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', many Waddle Dees feature greatly in [[Merry Magoland]] and some of its [[Sub-Game]]s, with some bearing their various colorations from ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.

There are three Dress-Up Masks based on Waddle Dees, including Park-Staff Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee, with the regular Waddle Dee mask given upon first visit to Merry Magoland, and the last two for completing [[Stamp Rally]] cards #21 and #33, respectively. | There are three Dress-Up Masks based on Waddle Dees, including Park-Staff Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee, with the regular Waddle Dee mask given upon first visit to Merry Magoland, and the last two for completing [[Stamp Rally]] cards #21 and #33, respectively. | ||

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', many Waddle Dees are taken hostage by the [[Beast Pack]], and can be found trapped in cages. In this way they function as [[item#Collectibles|collectibles]]. Kirby's primary objective is to free them. A gold cage containing three Waddle Dees marks the endpoint of each regular stage, while many other silver cages containing single Waddle Dees can be found along the way, with goals in each level rewarding more Waddle Dees. As Waddle Dees are rescued by Kirby, they populate the [[Waddle Dee Town]], and the more rescued, the bigger and more complex the town becomes. Later in the game, it is discovered that [[Leongar]] is putting them to work powering [[Lab Discovera]]. Notably, Waddle Dees in this game come in a more subtle variety of colors, with there being seven possible shades a Waddle Dee's skin can be. All Waddle Dees in the game have randomly assigned skin colors except for the ones in [[Downtown Grassland]], [[Through the Tunnel]], [[Welcome to Wondaria]], and [[In the Presence of the King]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ObscureKirby/status/1512154434394071041 Obscure Kirby Media & Facts on Twitter]</ref> | In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', many Waddle Dees are taken hostage by the [[Beast Pack]], and can be found trapped in cages.

At the end of [[Pink-Collar Blues]], when the Waddle Dees return, they perform the first instance of the [[Kirby Dance]] in the show, which is something that Kirby himself had not yet been doing.

The Waddle Dees are recurring characters in the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!]]''. Unlike their appearance in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], they didn't exist as a species, but instead they were created as copies of [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] in ''Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!''. At the end of the novel, [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] takes them as servants and from then on, they work for him, mostly serving him food. They also see the original Waddle Dee as their leader, and call him "Bandana-senpai". | |||
