'''Rick''' is a large hamster | '''Rick''' is a large hamster and one of [[Kirby]]'s six [[Animal Friend]]s, making his first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. He is distinguished by his orange and white fur, his beady eyes and whiskers, and his bulbous frame with two small feet to carry him and additionally Kirby when the two are paired up with each-other. Pairing up Rick with Kirby allows for a number of different methods of attack based on what [[Copy Ability]] the pink puffball has at a certain time, though these vary heavily in effectiveness. | ||

Rick makes his most prominent appearances in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', where he is a playable character (though always paired up with either Kirby, [[Gooey]], or another Animal Friend). He has appeared in a large number of other games as well, though he rarely makes more than a cameo appearance, and is seldom seen in isolation from [[Kine]] and [[Coo]]. Rick also has a supporting role in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', where he has the ability to speak in full sentences and lives with other intelligent animals in a big [[Acore|oak tree]] in an [[Eastern Forest|ancient woodland]]. | Rick makes his most prominent appearances in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', where he is a playable character (though always paired up with either Kirby, [[Gooey]], or another Animal Friend).

==Characteristics== | == Characteristics == | ||
Rick's appearance is that of a large and bulbous bipedal hamster with relatively short arms and stubby pink feet similar to those of Kirby. Despite his rounded features, however, he does have a distinct head and body, unlike the pink puffball who rides on his back. Rick's fur is largely white, with prominent orange splotches covering the top of his head and on his back. His face consists of two small beady eyes spread far apart, with a small snout between them tipped by a pink triangular nose and a set of whiskers, and two small pointed ears on top of his head. He has a small rounded tail which is not always visible due to his bulbous shape. | Rick's appearance is that of a large and bulbous bipedal hamster with relatively short arms and stubby pink feet similar to those of Kirby.

Instead of being given his own separate statue, however, he is part of a sculpture consisting of all of Kirby's original Animal Friends (Rick, Kine, and Coo).
