'''Whispy Woods''' (known in shorthand as '''Whispy''', and titled '''Guardian of the Forest''' in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'') is an anthropomorphic tree who | '''Whispy Woods''' (known in shorthand as '''Whispy''' or sometimes '''Wispy''', and once referred to as the '''Larkspur Liar'''<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_Super_Game_Boy/page/n55/mode/2up?view=theater Super Game Boy Nintendo Player's Guide]</ref>, and titled '''Guardian of the Forest''' in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''), 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 and in other media such as the [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]] and [[Kirby (novel series)|novel 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. | |||

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. | ||

Whispy Woods is the first | Whispy Woods is the first Boss of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', fought at the end of [[Green Greens]]. His attack patterns are extremely simple, and will either shoot out a few [[Air Bullet]]s at [[Kirby]], or will drop [[Apple]]s from his canopy. Kirby can inhale the apples and spit them back out as [[Star Bullet]]s to deal Whispy damage. After six hits, he stops fighting, and yields one of the [[Sparkling Stars]] for Kirby to collect. | ||
The [[Super Game Boy]] player's guide for the game suggests that "Wispy Woods" is the name of Green Greens' forest as a whole, and that the individual tree that Kirby faces is named Larkspur Liar, who spews oak chunks and chestnuts (rather than air bullets). It also states the apples dropped during the fight come from the other trees within the woods. This is likely not [[canon]], and simply a misinterpretation based on a lack of information about the game. | |||

Notably, Whispy Woods begins to sag more and more as he takes damage, eventually becoming scrunched down when he is defeated. | ||

In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Whispy Woods serves as a boss in the [[Sub-Game]] [[Team Kirby Clash]]. His ability to leap between the foreground and background and some of his attacks take cues from his ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' relative, [[Flowery Woods]]. For more information on these attacks, see the ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' & ''Super Kirby Clash'' section below. | In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Whispy Woods serves as a boss in the [[Sub-Game]] [[Team Kirby Clash]].

Whispy Woods is encountered twice in ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' and thrice in its successor ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''. Both games treat Whispy Woods the exact same way, with the fights being almost indistinguishable. The first fight is much the same as it was in the original Sub-Game, but later fights throw [[Gordo]]s into the mix, and make his leaping attacks quicker and more unpredictable. | |||

Whispy Woods returns as a boss in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. 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. When Whispy Woods is defeated, the heart pops out of him before he ceases fighting. | Whispy Woods returns as a boss in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

In addition to his powered-up attacks, Whispy has a severe weakness to Fire-based attacks. If Kirby and all of his allies attack him at once using fiery attacks during the second phase, Whispy will catch fire, and continually take damage until defeated, being no longer able to fight. Whispy also has an older relative in this title, called [[Yggy Woods]], and an even more powerful relative from [[Another Dimension]] known as [[Parallel Woods]]. Whispy is the only one of these trees that can be [[Make Friend|befriended]] upon defeat, though only in Fruity Forest. When befriended, Whispy will drop a large amount of items, including [[food|fruit]], some [[Point Star]]s, and a [[Picture Piece]] | In addition to his powered-up attacks, Whispy has a severe weakness to Fire-based attacks.

*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.

* | *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. | ||
