'''Whispy Woods''' (known in shorthand as '''Whispy''' or sometimes '''Wispy''') is an anthropomorphic tree who is most well known as being an early (if not the first) [[boss]] that [[Kirby]] faces in many of his adventures. In his simplest incarnations, he is incapable of moving, and can only attack by dropping [[apple]]s and blowing [[Air Bullet]]s at his pink adversary, but his sheer number of appearances and variants give him a vide variety of additional attacks, and in some cases, allow him to hop around or even run after his opponents. Along with [[Kracko]], [[Lololo & Lalala]], and [[Kabula]], Whispy Woods is one of the most iconic boss characters in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], having made dozens of appearances since his debut in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', and also appearing in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Whispy Woods can also be seen in many other roles (whether that be as a minor enemy, an inert obstacle, or even an ally), and can sometimes even speak. Additionally, there are many other entities throughout the series that are either related to Whispy Woods, inspired by him, or both. | |||

Whispy Woods is characterized as an anthropomorphized apple tree with a humanoid 'face', though his nose is just a branch and his eyes and mouth are holes in his trunk which can widen and contract as needed. Being a tree, Whispy | Whispy Woods is characterized as an anthropomorphized apple tree with a humanoid 'face', though his nose is just a branch and his eyes and mouth are holes in his trunk which can widen and contract as needed. Being a tree, Whispy cannot move very much, usually being rooted to a fixed location whenever he is encountered. Whispy is (for reasons known or unknown) usually hostile towards Kirby and his friends, and attacks mainly by dropping [[Apple]]s from his canopy, or by blowing out [[Air Bullet]]s from his mouth. His apples can be [[Inhale]]d and used against him, and he is particularly weak to [[Fire]]-based attacks as well. Whispy Woods seems to be able to move due to him being featured in different locations, a fact which was first confirmed in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. | ||

Whispy Woods makes his home in the lush greenery of [[Dream Land]] on Planet [[Popstar]], usually within a thick forest area. It is unknown if he routinely migrates, or if he lives in the same spot while the scenery changes around him (as he can be found in many differently-named areas, it may be that the area he resides in simply gets renamed again and again). However | Whispy Woods makes his home in the lush greenery of [[Dream Land]] on Planet [[Popstar]], usually within a thick forest area. It is unknown if he routinely migrates, or if he lives in the same spot while the scenery changes around him (as he can be found in many differently-named areas, it may be that the area he resides in simply gets renamed again and again). However, he can also be found in other more remote places, such as the [[Popopo Islands|Popopo Island]] of [[Green Grounds]], or on other worlds entirely, like planet [[Floria]] (as [[Twin Woods]]) and on [[Falluna Moon]], which would suggest that there is more than one Whispy. In ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', Whispy Woods has the ability to jump and move to relatively far areas, what could somewhat explain him being found in different places of Popstar. | ||

His fight is similar to earlier bouts, though with his ability to jump like [[Flowery Woods]] now firmly established. Partway into the fight, Whispy grows much larger, and starts emitting purple gas from his eyes and mouth. From here, his attacks become much more potent, with a prominent example being his ability to shower the entire area with hundreds of [[Apple]]s. This increased power is the result of Whispy Woods absorbing one of the [[Jamba Heart|Dark Hearts]] that fell onto Popstar.

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Whispy Woods' name comes from the words "wispy" (meaning fine, feathery, or delicate), a term often used to describe plants and trees, and "whisper" (meaning to speak softly with one's breath), which reflects the wind-based attacks he utilizes. | |||
**Because of this, his name is occasionally misspelled as either "Wispy Woods" (as in ''Kirby's Pinball Land'') or "Whisper Woods" (as in ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Nintendo 64). | |||
*In early games in the ''Kirby'' series, the actual entity of Whispy Woods was little more than his face. The tree was just a background element. Kirby also gets hurt when touching Whispy's face/nose in some of these games. | *In early games in the ''Kirby'' series, the actual entity of Whispy Woods was little more than his face.

*Whispy Woods (not counting his relatives) has appeared in a total of 23 ''Kirby'' games, 18 of which were as a Boss or Mid-Boss. This ranks Whispy Woods as the second most prevalent boss character after [[Kracko]] (not counting [[King Dedede]], who makes appearances as a playable character just as often as a Boss). | *Whispy Woods (not counting his relatives) has appeared in a total of 23 ''Kirby'' games, 18 of which were as a Boss or Mid-Boss.

* | *Prior to ''Kirby Super Star'', and past that up to ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', Whispy Woods was depicted without any lower stubs or branches on his sides. From ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' onward, Whispy fairly consistently has two stubs on his sides which resemble arms to an extent, but are completely useless to the tree. In some newer games, such as ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'', he is depicted with only one; in others, such as ''Kirby Mass Attack'', he has none at all. | ||
