Monster

A Monster is a creature which often serves as the villain for a given episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, typically dispatched by Night Mare Enterprises. Monsters come in many types, and often overlap with enemies, Mid-Bosses and Bosses from the video game series, though many are original. The typical formula of episodes would involve Kirby pitted against one or more monsters that King Dedede sends after him, using a specific Copy Ability to take them down.

Not all monsters are inherently hostile. Some are temperamental, but usually friendly, and some actually become friends with Kirby, and will defend him. Some otherwise regular characters and entities also have the potential to transform into monsters, including Kirby himself.
