Waddle Dee

Waddle Dees are a species in the Kirby series, similar to Goombas. However, unlike Goombas, Waddle Dees are carefree, and do not generally try to hurt Kirby. They will also appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, acting as one of King Dedede's attacks; Waddle Dee Toss. King Dedede tosses a Waddle Dee at his opponent, and after it hits, the Waddle Dees will continue to walk around the stage. The Waddle Dees relative, the Waddle Doo, may also appear during this attack. Four Waddle Dees were seen carrying King Dedede's throne around the stage (pictured), which may be his battle entrance. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, a Waddle Dee appeared as a Trophy.

Trophy Description in Super Smash Bros. Melee
''Many delicate creatures like this one inhabit Dream Land. They generally live carefree lives and have never considered themselves to be followers of King Dedede. Waddle Dees are innocent and generally harmless to man and beast. While they have virtually no offensive or defensive power, they'll sometimes try to wield a parasol.''
