'''Phan Phan''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', where it replaces [[Rolling Turtle]] from the original ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and has since appeared in various other games of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It was last seen as an enemy in {{KSSU}}, where it appeared in [[Revenge of the King]] and [[The True Arena]]. Depending on the game, it yields either the [[Throw]] or the [[Suplex]] [[Copy Ability]] when Kirby inhales and swallows it after defeating it.

It was last seen as an enemy in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', where it appeared in [[Revenge of the King]] and [[The True Arena]]. Depending on the game, it yields either the [[Throw]] or the [[Suplex]] [[Copy Ability]] when [[Kirby]] [[inhale]]s and swallows it after defeating it.


Phan Phan's appearance is similar to that of an elephant, except that it has only two legs and a spherical body. It has large, black eyes, and three strans of hair, similar to the two strands of hair on [[Waddle Doo]]. Phan Phan often attacks by rolling at [[Kirby]], lifting him and throwing him with his ears, and stomping on him. It also throws apples at Kirby, which can be inhaled and spat out at Phan Phan to deal damage.
