'''Wicked Willow''' is a type of enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', exclusive to the [[Weird Woods]] stage. As suggested by their name, they're trees with blue-purple leaves, covered in pink and purple vines, with sharp teeth in the trunk. They also harbor multi-{{colour}}ed spores that become spiny on release, which they use as an attack.

==Trivia==
{{clear}}
*There could be a possibility that these enemies are based on [[Whispy Woods]], one of the most iconic bosses of the ''Kirby'' franchise. Apart from appearing midway and at the end of Weird Woods, like a [[Mid-Boss]] or [[boss]], they're also large, sentient trees just like Whispy, but distinctly wicked-looking, unlike the latter.

Wicked Willow is an enemy that debuted in Kirby's Epic Yarn, exclusive to the Weird Woods stage.

They also harbor multi-colored spores that become spiny on release, which they use as an attack.

Wicked Willows stop Kirby in his tracks, and prevent him from continuing the stage until they are defeated. Kirby can defeat Wicked Willows only in his Saucer form, since he needs to suck the spores up in order to use his electrical shock attack. They need to be shocked twice in order for Kirby to pass.
