It wields a grumpy expression from its yellow eyes, a characteristic shared with higher-ranking [[Sphere Doomer]]s. It is only encountered in [[Another Dimension (level)|Another Dimension]] and in the new [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]] extra mode in the remake.

This enemy is slightly more complex than a Darpa and it is a relatively rare Doomer.

An easy way to dodge these bullets is to simply shoot them down, which is less riskier than simply running away from it. The Dippa can also ram into Kirby and co, but it only moves in a straight line and doesn't change direction. It doesn't have so much [[health]] and is slightly harder to dodge than a Darpa.
