| Phan Phan's appearance is similar to that of an elephant, except that it is bipedal and has a spherical body. It has large, black eyes, and three strands of hair, similar to the two strands of hair on [[Waddle Doo]]. Phan Phan often attacks by rolling at Kirby, lifting and throwing him with its trunk, and stomping on him. It also throws [[apple]]s at Kirby, which can be inhaled and spat out at Phan Phan to deal damage.
| | Phan Phan often attacks by rolling at [[Kirby]], lifting him and throwing him with his ears, and stomping on him. Often times, when Phan Phan misses, stars appear, which can be inhaled and spat out at Phan Phan to deal damage. Depending on the game, it yields either the [[Throw]] or the [[Suplex]] [[Copy Ability]] when Kirby inhales and swallows it after defeating it. |
|
| |
|
| Its name comes from the partial repetition of "elephant".
| | Phan Phan also appears in Episode 94 of the [[Kirby Right Back At Ya!]] anime, called Cowardly Creature, where it's portrayed as an Elephant that's scared of squirrels and likes apples. |

| '''Phan Phan''' appears as a [[monster]] in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Cowardly Creature]]. In this episode, Phan Phan escapes by unknown means from [[Night Mare Enterprises]]' "Young Monsters of the Future" training school and ends up in [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]], where it causes havoc in [[Cappy Town]] while wearing a clown mask and nose. [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] bats this mask away while fighting it, causing the giant elephant to become timid and run away, and later prompting [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] to step in and defend the helpless monster from King Dedede's assault. Kirby and Phan Phan later become friends, but the monster [[Whippy (monster)|Whippy]] is sent to subdue Phan Phan and turn it hostile again. After a lengthy battle, Kirby gathers the courage to face his former friend and uses the [[Throw]] [[Copy Ability]] to grab and dispose of Whippy, returning Phan Phan to its normal self again. From there, Phan Phan becomes a permanent resident of Dream Land and is later seen in the finale residing in [[Whispy Woods Forest]].
| |
| | |
| Phan Phan is largely the same in appearance as it is in the games, though it is much larger and is reluctant to fight unless dominated by another force. It enjoys apples and becomes friends with Kirby, unlike the game version who is consistently hostile towards him.
