'''Barbar'''{{ForeignTitle}} is an invincible enemy first encountered in the [[Onion Ocean]] level in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRDL KAW}}]]''.
'''Barbar'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a gigantic aquatic eel-like creature who likes to reside in holes in the wall and reach out to try and eat [[Kirby]] and his friends if they try to swim past. All Barbars are large, though some are bigger than others, a few much so. Barbar is completely invulnerable to attack, so it must be treated as a course obstacle to avoid rather than something to fight. If Kirby gets sucked into its mouth, the player needs to shake the controller or mash the stick to get Kirby out again.


Barbar resembles a giant eel-like creature and can come in various sizes, some of which are truly gigantic. They reside exclusively in the water, embedded in walls, ceilings, floors, or sometimes in pits in water currents, and at regular intervals will lunge outward in an attempt to swallow any passing swimmers.
Barbar first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and has since reappeared in a handful of other 2.5-D [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]]. It has a few relatives, namely the [[Hypernova]]-inhalable [[Land Barbar]] and the lava-dwelling [[Iron Barbar]].

Barbar[Japanese title] is a gigantic aquatic eel-like creature who likes to reside in holes in the wall and reach out to try and eat Kirby and his friends if they try to swim past. All Barbars are large, though some are bigger than others, a few much so.

If Kirby gets sucked into its mouth, the player needs to shake the controller or mash the stick to get Kirby out again.

Barbar first appeared in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and has since reappeared in a handful of other 2.5-D Kirby games. It has a few relatives, namely the Hypernova-inhalable Land Barbar and the lava-dwelling Iron Barbar.
