'''Dropso''' is a type of enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' that is first seen on the [[Patch Castle]] stage. They are blue coloured stationary blobs that don't move or attack, and are generally used as a method to destroy [[Cloth Block]]s. When destroying said obstacle with a Dropso, or by just merely defeating it, a splash sound is heard. They are usually found near dripping water. Even after destroying a Dropso, another will appear moments later in the same location.<ref>{{cite|Wrap up the Dropso and use it to break one of the Cloth Blocks just past the platform.
