'''Spookstep''' is a ghostly enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. It looks somewhat like a ghostly version of [[Waddle Dee]], but it has a much creepier face with only one eye and a gaping mouth. It raises its arms up in a stereotypical monster manner when it runs after [[Kirby]]. It yields no [[Copy Ability]] if [[inhale]]d.
