'''Driblee''' is a common enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. It resembles a blue eel fish, but with fins for arms, a small frill on its head and a large, leafy tail. It provides the [[Water]] ability when swallowed by [[Kirby]]. Its name is possibly a play on "dribble" and the reverse spelling of "eel".


As an enemy, Driblee tends to hang in one spot, and occasionally spits out globs of water. Driblee can also very rarely be found sticking to ceilings.

Driblee can also be made into a [[Helper|Friend]], whereby it dons a water crown similar to Kirby's. As an ally, Driblee can use the full moveset of the Water ability, along with the [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]] related to it. Like many allies, Driblee has lower [[Stamina|health]] than Kirby, but benefits from an [[Infinity Jump]].

There is a larger variant of Driblee called [[Colossal Driblee]] that appears in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'' as part of Team Colossal Quad.

*If the enemy Driblee falls into the waters, it will survive but the water ball it shoots will vanish immediately. This is possibly because the waters are considered to be an obstacle to Driblee's projectiles.
