'''Dubior''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Its appearance resembles a UFO-like floating robot, with yellow shining eyes. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', it appears in levels 5-5,6-2, and 7-3. It yields the [[Spark]] ability when defeated.

Dubior has an advantage over most other Mid-Bosses in that it can hover, and spends much of its time off the ground. It is also capable of summoning little minions to defend itself, and delivers an arsenal of electric attacks.

Dubior appears in this game, serving the same function as before, though it now possesses the ability to summon Dubior Jr.s from the foreground and background. An upgraded version known as '''Dubior 2.0''' also appears, bearing a great resemblance to Dubior EX from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.
 
Dubior is the only returning Mid-Boss in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' to not be visibly affected by the [[Haltmann Works Company]]'s mechanization, as it is already robotic.
 
Dubior appears in the following stages:
*[[Resolution Road - Stage 6 EX]] (as Dubior 2.0)
*[[Gigabyte Grounds - Stage 3]]
*[[Rhythm Route - Stage 3]]
*[[Access Ark - Stage 5]] (as a common enemy, as Dubior 2.0)
 
Dubior's regular form initially attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Charge
#Dubior Jr. Summon x2
#Lightning Strike x2
 
After losing enough health, it will abruptly summon four Dubior Jr.s from the background and strike with lightning three times before attacking in a mostly random order.

*Dubior's normal color scheme pays homage to the [[mariowiki:R.O.B.|Robotic Operating Buddy]], also known as [[R.O.B. & Professor Hector|R.O.B.]] (specifically the Famicom version).
*Notably, when its normal form is fought in [[Nutty Noon - Stage 5]]'s regular route and [[Gigabyte Grounds - Stage 3]], its attacks have a longer cool-down and charge-up time compared to its other encounters, including in the secret path for Nutty Noon - Stage 5.
