'''Batamon''' is a [[Kirby]]-like enemy from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. Although it is pink like Kirby and of a similar shape, it possesses a few differences; most notably, its eyes are smaller, beadier, and signifcantly further apart than those of Kirby. They are also not as round as Kirby.
[[File:KDL3 Batamon Sprite.png]] '''Batamon''' is an elusive [[Kirby]]-like creature which first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. Although it is pink like Kirby and of a similar shape, it possesses a few differences; most notably, its eyes are smaller, beadier, and significantly further apart than those of Kirby. It is also not as round as Kirby, and does not appear to share his abilities, instead simply acting like a [[Waddle Dee]]. Batamon grants no [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed.


== Game appearances ==
In most levels where they are found, Batamon cannot be reached by Kirby, as they like to appear behind walls and in exterior spaces where Kirby cannot go. They can be defeated using long-range attacks like [[Pitch]]-[[Spark]], but this does not help Kirby in any way.
=== ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' ===
Batamon makes its only appearance as an enemy in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. In most levels where it is found, Batamon cannot be reached directly, as it likes to appear behind walls and in exterior spaces where Kirby cannot go. In some instances, it can be defeated using long-range attacks like [[Pitch]]-[[Spark]], but this does not help Kirby in any way.


There is, however, one place where Kirby can meet up with Batamon in the same room. In [[Cloudy Park - Stage 3 (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Stage 3]] of [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Cloudy Park]], there is a hidden passageway behind the cloud wall at the 'end' of the stage, which Kirby can take to enter a room with a Batamon inside. In addition to this accessible Batamon, there are a bunch more of them occupying side-chambers that are inaccessible. Despite all of the trouble Kirby has to go through to meet up with a Batamon, he may be disappointed to find that there does not appear to be anything special about it, as it acts as a mere [[Waddle Dee]] copy, and grants no special abilities or bonus if inhaled or otherwise defeated.

In addition to this accessible Batamon, there are a bunch more of them occupying side-chambers that are inaccessible. The main Batamon acts like a [[Waddle Dee]], and will hurt Kirby if it crashes into him. Kirby can swallow Batamon, but no ability will be gained in the process.

==Trivia==
*Batamon's artwork for ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' is very similar to the artwork of [[Shadow Kirby]] for ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', as both involve the main subject facing backwards and walking away with a similar pose.
**Batamon's artwork for ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' is an edited image of the artwork of Kirby entering a door for ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', while removing the door and adding a question mark next to Kirby.
