{{Quote|No, Sire! I built this robot to make life easier for us both! Escar-droid will be at your command twenty four hours a day!|[[Escargoon]] describing '''Escar-droid''' in [[Right Hand Robot]]}}
'''Escar-droid''' is a robotic duplicate of [[Escargoon]] built by the snail to take over his duties to [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Right Hand Robot]]. The robot was programmed to obey King Dedede's commands, which the King abuses, causing the robot to be wrecked several times. In order to fix it for good, Escargoon inserts a heart-shaped part from [[Night Mare Enterprises]] into the robot to give it feelings, but this ends up turning the robot into a flying missile-launching jet [[monster]] instead. After it terrorizes [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] destroys Escar-droid using the [[Bomb]] [[Copy Ability]], much to Escargoon's chagrin.

==Description==
{{Quote|That robot was built sturdy, but it only took a day for me to bust its bolts!|[[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]], in [[Right Hand Robot]]}}
Escar-droid was built to resemble Escargoon in size, shape, and general coloring, though it is noticeably blockier than him, and covered in bolts and rivets. The first version of Escar-droid travels using a set of wheels on treads similar to those of a tank, and is programmed to follow King Dedede's orders, regardless of what they may be.

After being wrecked twice both directly and indirectly by King Dedede, Escargoon uses a special heart-shaped part provided by Night Mare Enterprises to fix Escar-droid and imbue it with feelings. This appears to work at first, as the newly improved '''Escar-droid 2''' is more efficient than the older model, and also refuses orders that involve violence. However, this new model comes with two buttons on its shell: the green button deactivates its feelings and turns it into a sword-wielding combat version, and the red button permanently transforms it into a fighter jet. In this last form, it is capable of firing homing missiles in rapid succession which it uses to terrify the kingdom.

{{Quote|Escargoon's droid has now transformed itself from a peaceful servant robot into a lethal combat robot; fully armed and ready to do battle!|[[N.M.E. Sales Guy]], in [[Right Hand Robot]]}}
In [[Right Hand Robot]], Escargoon builds Escar-droid overnight in order to meet King Dedede's needs and to spare himself from the King's punishment. However, the fact that Escar-droid obeys all of King Dedede's commands is abused by the King and he orders it to attack Escargoon, and then attack Kirby. After taking a few hits, Kirby manages to run away and then lure the droid off a balcony, causing it to fall and get wrecked. After recovering the wrecked droid, Escargoon ropes in [[Tiff]] to help him repair it over a second night. However, the following day, King Dedede ends up wrecking the robot again more severely. After failing to put it back together again with Tiff a third night, Escargoon is roped into pretending to be the robot and is ordered to attack Kirby and [[Tuff]] with a bazooka. When Tiff learns of this, she refuses to help Escargoon any further, forcing him to resort to Night Mare Enterprises to help him repair Escar-droid.

Over a fourth and final sleepless night, Escargoon inserts the part N.M.E. sent into Escar-droid and revitalizes it. He shows King Dedede the droid's improved abilities and its newly-passive nature, but the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] then chimes in and tells King Dedede about the buttons on the droid's back. King Dedede pushes the green button which deactivates Escar-droid 2's feelings and transforms it into a sword-wielding combat robot. Against the others' advice, King Dedede then pushes the red button, which transforms Escar-droid 2 permanently into a fighter jet which flies out of [[Castle Dedede]] and attacks the kingdom at will.

Escar-droid 2 then attacks Kirby, who fights back with the help of his [[Warp Star]]. Kirby swallows one of the droid's homing missiles to gain the [[Bomb]] [[Copy Ability]]. Kirby then outmaneuvers the droid and then destroys it using a bomb and one of its own missiles. Escargoon is left to mourn the loss of his droid, but before he can cry for long, he falls asleep from exhaustion.

==Trivia==
*The bolts on the sides of Escar-droid's head are a reference to [[wikipedia:Frankenstein's monster|Frankenstein's monster]] as depicted in the 1931 movie ''[[wikipedia:Frankenstein (1931 film)|Frankenstein]]''.
