Fatty Puffer's headdress consists of coral, which he uses to hide and ambush Kirby when he enters the room, much in the same way that [[pikipedia:Emperor Bulblax|Emperor Bulblax]] from the [[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin games]] would. His body is largely a blob that features purple scaly skin with a white belly, topped by a fishy face.

“ | Ahoy! Fatty Puffer, a glutton of the sea, has surfaced! As he inhales, he'll puff up to a massive size. Oh, and it looks like he's swallowed a ship part! Maybe that's how he got so strong... | ” | — VS Fatty Puffer Special Page in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Fatty Puffer is a boss that debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. He, as his name implies, is a fat pufferfish. He bears a royalty-inspired design, and his attacks are characterized by using his girth to perform body slams and rolling attacks. He's the boss of Onion Ocean and guards the Lor Starcutter's Left Wing.
Appearance[edit]
Fatty Puffer's headdress consists of coral, which he uses to hide and ambush Kirby when he enters the room, much in the same way that the Emperor Bulblax from the Pikmin games would. His body is largely a blob that features purple scaly skin with a white belly, topped by a fishy face. His fins are very small, and do not factor into the battle at all.
At first, he's not that large, but once his health is halfway depleted, he puffs up to an impressive size, like Whispy Woods and Mr. Dooter do.
In the Extra Mode, Fatty Puffer has a red and gold color scheme. His headdress is also much fancier, resembling a crown.
Attacks[edit]
The following lists all of Fatty Puffer's attacks in the Story Mode of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Attacks in italics are used in the second phase of the fight only. Most attack names come from pages 122 and 245 of the official Japanese strategy guide and page 172 of the Perfect Support Guide for the original Wii version unless otherwise stated.
