'''Gabon''' is an [[enemy]] with the appearance of a small, mostly blue or purplish creature with orange feet, a yellow head and a face consisting solely of a pair of tiny, black eyes. Its head is usually covered by a large, hollow skull with three teeth and no lower jaw, hiding the foe's true face and giving it a more ghastly appearance. It first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', and it attacks [[Kirby]] by throwing bones at him which bounce along the ground. If Kirby deals significant damage to Gabon or tries to inhale it, Gabon will lose its skull to reveal its true appearance. From here, it is rendered helpless, and will try to run away from Kirby. Inhaling Gabon will not yield any [[Copy Ability]]. | '''Gabon''' is an [[enemy]] with the appearance of a small, mostly blue or purplish creature with orange feet, a yellow head and a face consisting solely of a pair of tiny, black eyes.

In ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a Gabon, although never identified by name, makes an appearance as a [[monster]] in the episode [[Scare Tactics - Part II]]. Here, the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] sends it into a haunted house to capture [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] after his and [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]]'s initial plan to deliver the Star Warrior to [[Night Mare Enterprises]] fails. | In ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a Gabon, although never identified by name, makes an appearance as a [[monster]] in the episode [[Scare Tactics - Part II]].

Gabon's anime incarnation resembles its ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' appearance rather closely, but possesses visible arms and hands and a slightly different color scheme that gives it a purple body, olive gloves, copper brown feet and Thulian pink rings around its skull's eye sockets. Gabon fights Kirby by pelting him with large bones, rapidly hitting and seemingly overpowering the pink hero. Attempting to apply his usual strategy against monsters, Kirby proceeds to inhale and swallow one of the foe's projectiles, but {{-}} true to the games {{-}} does not receive a Copy Ability from it. | Gabon's anime incarnation resembles its ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' appearance rather closely, but possesses visible arms and hands and a slightly different color scheme that gives it a purple body, olive gloves, copper brown feet and Thulian pink rings around its skull's eye sockets.

To help Kirby, Meta Knight instead chucks one of the torches hanging on the walls of the room to him, which he eats to acquire the [[Fire]] ability. Using his new power, Kirby not only burns Gabon without further trouble, but also the entire haunted house, which collapses on top the monster's remains. | To help Kirby, Meta Knight instead chucks one of the torches hanging on the walls of the room to him, which he eats to acquire the [[Fire]] ability.

*In ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', if Kirby takes damage while inhaling a Gabon's skull, the latter falls down and floats a few pixels above the ground instead of entering Kirby's mouth, acting like a stationary enemy until destroyed. | *In ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', if Kirby takes damage while inhaling a Gabon's skull, the latter falls down and floats a few pixels above the ground instead of entering Kirby's mouth, acting like a stationary enemy until destroyed. | ||
