It is a drop-shaped creature with two eyes, a mouth and a propeller attached to the top of its head. Depending on the game, different specimens of Propellers may possess noticeably different col{{o}}rs and facial expressions. | ||

Propeller Bombs make their first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. Here, they are green in col{{o}}r and found primarily in the later levels of the game. Unlike in later games, they only possess a single propeller blade. Propeller Bombs start out with their eyes closed, slowly hovering up and down in the air in a similar manner as a [[Scarfy]]. If Kirby approaches them, however, they become attentive and react differently depending on whether or not he is with an [[Animal Friend]]. | |||

If Kirby is alone, the Propeller Bomb stops in midair and smiles upon seeing him, making no attempt at attacking. In this state, it can be defeated with any attack or inhaled, but does not yield a [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed. If Kirby is with a friend, however, the Propeller Bomb assumes a malicious expression and begins to chase the pink hero, flashing and flying through obstacles as it does. In this form, the enemy cannot be inhaled, but every other attack successfully performed against it causes it to pause for a second. Twelve hits cause it to explode, harming Kirby or his friend if they are caught in the blast. If it touches the Animal Friend, the friend flees immediately whereas the foe returns to its harmless state; avoiding it for a certain amount of time, however, causes it to fly away to the left or the right of the screen and disappear. | If Kirby is alone, the Propeller Bomb stops in midair and smiles upon seeing him, making no attempt at attacking.

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Propellers return, albeit with a different behavi{{o}}r and in much greater quantities, first appearing in the fifth stage of [[Grass Land (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Grass Land]]. Instead of being found in the air, Propellers hatch from large eggs with brown spots when Kirby approaches them. Each freshly hatched Propeller assumes a random col{{o}}r and facial expression, out of a total of five. Once freed from its shell, the opponent begins to follow Kirby; however, unlike in the previous game, it cannot move through solid walls. | |||

[[Pitch]] is the only Animal Friend that none of the Propellers react to. If the friend is left behind, the foe will continue to orbit it instead of following Kirby. | ||
