'''Doc''' is a member of the [[Squeaks]] serving under [[Daroach]], who debuted in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. He is easily the smallest of the named Squeak members, but is distinguished by his mad-scientist-style glasses, his green mustache, and his penchant for inventing and operating robots and other machines. Notable inventions of Doc include his flying saucer, [[Mecha-Kracko]], [[Yadgaine]], and [[Daroach's Airship]]. In ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'', Doc is fought on several occasions as a [[Mid-Boss]] and twice as a [[boss]] using these various machines. Without a machine to pilot, he is helpless.

Doc appears alongside [[Spinni]] and [[Storo]] as a major enemy which [[Kirby]] will need to contend with in some stages once picking up a large [[Treasure Chest]]. He pursues Kirby in his flying saucer and will attempt to fire beams and drop bombs (which yield the [[Bomb]] [[Copy Ability]]) at him, causing Kirby to drop a chest if hit. Doc can then attempt to steal the chest using a claw from his saucer. If Doc is hit, he may drop a laser gun, which Kirby can swallow for the [[Laser]] ability.

In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Doc appears as part of Daroach the [[Dream Friend]]'s moveset. When called upon, he orbits Daroach three times in his saucer while emitting a constant electric field. This field is capable of dealing electrical damage, activating [[Wire (object)|Wire]]s, and granting the [[Power Effect|Zap]] effect to allies.

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Doc appears as a supporting antagonist in ''[[Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!]]''. He is part of the [[Squeaks]] as one of [[Daroach]]'s three high-ranking henchmen. Like the other three, Doc is extremely loyal to Daroach. He invents various machines that the Squeaks use, such as his UFO, along with a cannon that shoots [[Air Bullet]]s. Doc is extremely passionate about his inventions, and feels immensely sad whenever one gets destroyed. He is usually seen flying in his UFO.
In ''Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!'', Doc helps Daroach steal the egg that [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] and [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] are tasked with protecting. He first appears when Kirby first finds the egg at an ancient temple. He shows up with [[Storo]] and [[Spinni]] to ambush the two of them. He charges at Kirby in his UFO, but Kirby repels Doc by spitting fire at him with his [[Fire]] ability. After Kirby fends off all three of them, the Squeaks retreat.
Later on, Daroach plans to sneak in to [[Castle Dedede]] at night to snatch the egg, while everyone is asleep. Doc waits outside in his machine as their getaway. When Daroach and Spinni get out with the egg, they ride away on Doc's machine. Storo stays at the castle to deal with Kirby, who had woke up in the process. Kirby gets past him anyway, and catches up to them because Doc's remodel on the machine accidentally made it slower. Kirby fires an Air Bullet at Doc's machine, stopping it. Daroach commands Spinni and Doc to fight Kirby, while he runs off with the egg. Just then, [[Sparky]] enters to complain about all the commotion, and Kirby inhales him to gain the [[Spark]] ability. He gives Spinni and Doc a good shock, which causes Doc's machine to malfunction and fly away. With the two of them defeated, Kirby runs after Daroach.
When Kirby and co. are on their way back to the temple, Kirby pulls King Dedede and Waddle Dee in a cart with the [[Wheel]] ability. The Squeaks hide behind a papier-mâché boulder and plan to sabotage them with a cannon that Doc spent all night making. The cannon shoots Air Bullets like the ones that Kirby spits, to blow them away. Doc is confident in the machine because he tested it on Storo, who does not go down easily. However, the Air Bullets it shoots end up disappearing after going twenty inches, which does not even come close to reaching Kirby. They decide to push the cannon closer to their target. Kirby notices them, and rams into the air cannon, smashing it to pieces. Doc is devastated, but pulls himself together when Daroach tells everyone to continue after Kirby King Dedede, and Waddle Dee.
In the end, it is revealed that Daroach only wanted the cushion that the egg was strapped to. He had trouble falling asleep before, and wanted to take the cushion so he could use use it as a pillow. The [[Acti Blade|mother bird]] forgives him for all the trouble, and allows him to keep it. With the Squeaks on good terms with everyone, they bid farewell and fly away in their airship.
