Telepathos is a Mid-Boss that made his first appearance in Kirby: Planet Robobot. He yields the ESP Copy Ability when inhaled. The projectiles he fires can be swallowed for the Spark ability.
He is a bizarrely-shaped, mysterious and eminently potent flying creature. His main body is white and forms a vague U-shape covered with stripes of constantly changing colors. He also possesses two disembodied hands which have three equally-spaced flat circular thumbs on each. Telepathos attacks by throwing out orbs of energy and teleporting short distances in order to dodge attacks.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash
| “ | Watch out for surprise sky attacks! He's mastered many mysterious magics. | ” | — Tough Quest flavor text from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash |
Telepathos reappears in these spinoff RPG adventures, twice in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and four times in Super Kirby Clash. He is much more potent in this incarnation, able to do many tricky flight maneuvers, and can shoot his mind blasts in many different ways. His aerial nature makes him a difficult target for Team Kirby to hit, but he is especially vulnerable to the Beam Mage's Time Beam attack. In Super Kirby Clash, a Super-rank Party Quest has him paired with a Greater Doomer and Venom Kracko to form Team Floatrio.

| Attack | Description | Variants | ||
| Orb Shot | Telepathos brings up his hands and fires a series of electric orbs from them which scatter slightly once fired. | The number of these shots can vary. Telepathos may also charge up, and then release orbs in the same line in rapid succession. | ||
| Swoop | Telepathos flies in an arc toward the ground. | He may do this twice in a row. He may also perform a loop in the middle of his swoop. | ||
| Teleporting Orb Shot | Telepathos fires an orb straight downward before teleporting. | The number of times this move is performed in succession can vary. | ||
| Inward Charge | Telepathos flies into the background, picks a spot, and then flies through the arena. | |||
| Orb Barrier | Telepathos conjures energy orbs which orbit him as he moves. | |||
| Seeker Orbs | Telepathos conjures a large number of orbs, and then teleports into the background as the orbs follow him. Once in the background, he throws these orbs at a random target Kirby. | |||

Trivia
- In the English versions of Super Kirby Clash, flavor text for Telepathos refers to the enemy using both "he" and "it" pronouns. This is likely a mistake on part of the localization team.
