'''Arm{{o}}r Dee'''{{DataTitle}} is a robotic variation of a [[Puppet Waddle Dee]], which appears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]''. Aesthetically, the Arm{{o}}r Dee resembles a [[large enemy|large]] robot [[Waddle Dee]], though lacking proper feet and sporting a spyglass. Functionally, the Arm{{o}}r Dee serves the same purpose as the Puppet Waddle Dee, though it is slightly harder to defeat, and is slightly more sluggish. The Arm{{o}}r Dee's attack consists of simply running into [[Kirby]], thereby dealing both of them damage (though the Arm{{o}}r Dee's high [[stamina|durability]] makes this less of a concern for it). It can be destroyed to throw out the three Waddle Dees inside, or it may be quickly defeated by swallowing it with [[Inhale|Super Inhale]].
'''Armor Waddle Dee'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a [[large enemy|large]] robotic shell resembling a [[Waddle Dee]], making its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. It sports a [[wikipedia:periscope|periscope]] and mechanical hammer-like bars to appear as its arms. It serves as a somewhat tougher variation of [[Puppet Waddle Dee]], as it is slightly harder to defeat and slightly more sluggish. As with Puppet Waddle Dee, it lacks proper feet and is controlled by three Waddle Dees underneath. It can be destroyed normally to throw out the Waddle Dees inside, or can be quickly defeated if [[Kirby]] swallows it with [[Inhale|Super Inhale]]. It will simply attempt to make contact with Kirby, thereby dealing [[damage]] to them both (though the Armor Waddle Dee's high [[health|durability]] makes this less of a concern for it). A variant named '''Armor Halcandle Dee'''<ref>''Kirby Character Encyclopedia'', page 132</ref> appears on [[Halcandra]], though it differs only in aesthetics. It is silver with more noticeable robotic features, and is controlled instead by three [[Halcandle Dee]]s. It also lacks a periscope opposed to its original form.


Two variants of this enemy exist, though they differ only in aesthetics. One is found on [[Popstar]], while the other exists on [[Halcandra]] and is filled with [[Halcandle Dee]]s instead. Arm{{o}}r Dee also appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', in the [[New Challenge Stages]].
Armor Waddle Dee additionally appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' in the [[New Challenge Stages]].

Armor Waddle Dee[Japanese title] is a large robotic shell resembling a Waddle Dee, making its first appearance in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It sports a periscope and mechanical hammer-like bars to appear as its arms. It serves as a somewhat tougher variation of Puppet Waddle Dee, as it is slightly harder to defeat and slightly more sluggish. As with Puppet Waddle Dee, it lacks proper feet and is controlled by three Waddle Dees underneath. It can be destroyed normally to throw out the Waddle Dees inside, or can be quickly defeated if Kirby swallows it with Super Inhale. It will simply attempt to make contact with Kirby, thereby dealing damage to them both (though the Armor Waddle Dee's high durability makes this less of a concern for it). A variant named Armor Halcandle Dee[1] appears on Halcandra, though it differs only in aesthetics. It is silver with more noticeable robotic features, and is controlled instead by three Halcandle Dees. It also lacks a periscope opposed to its original form.

Armor Waddle Dee additionally appears in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition in the New Challenge Stages.
