There are many entities in the Kirby series that are either variants of Waddle Dees, distinguished Waddle Dees, or similar to Waddle Dees. They are as follows:

Varieties of Waddle Dee

Waddle Dees can be found in many different roles and varieties. In Kirby Star Allies, they can even be seen packed tightly into giant boulders and sent rolling down hills.

• Waddle Dee - Standard variety of Waddle Dees who carry no additional equipment. They can be seen holding still, walking, jumping, chasing Kirby, sleeping, fleeing, riding a Nruff, or in more specific situations. They provide no Copy Ability when swallowed.
  • Waddle Dee (anime character) - The Waddle Dees as seen in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, who serve King Dedede.
  • Waddle Dees (novel characters) - The Waddle Dees as seen in the Kirby novel series, debuting in Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!.
• Parasol Waddle Dee - Waddle Dees who carry a Parasol. They can be seen in most of the same situations as standard Waddle Dees, but will also float gently through the air. Attacking them can cause them to drop their Parasol, which will then float away. Swallowing them with their parasol grants the Parasol ability. This variety of Waddle Dee is playable as a Helper in Kirby Super Star, its remake, and Kirby Star Allies, and is also a playable combatant in Kirby Battle Royale.
• Raft Waddle Dee - A Waddle Dee who rides an inflatable raft over water. These can be found only in Kirby's Dream Land 3.
• Big Waddle Dee - A larger-than-usual Waddle Dee. They typically have no distinguishing traits from ordinary Waddle Dees other than their size, and sometimes are not distinguished at all. They usually can be inhaled with increased effort on Kirby's part, and then spat out as a Blaster Bullet.
• Fluff Waddle Dee - A Waddle Dee from Kirby: Canvas Curse who clings to a giant seed of cotton. They are functionally identical to Parasol Waddle Dees, just without the Parasol or its associated ability.
• Spear Waddle Dee - Waddle Dees who carry spears. Some carry them pointed up, some carry them pointed forward, and some will try to toss them at Kirby. Despite the existence of the Spear ability, they provide no ability when swallowed, as they have not yet appeared in the same game as the ability.
• Gold Waddle Dee - A rare variety of Waddle Dee with golden fur. They can run very fast, and often carry Treasure Chests.
• Swinging Waddle Dee - A Waddle Dee who swings from a rope.
• Block Waddle Dee - A big Waddle Dee from Kirby Mass Attack which resides inside of a Star Block.
• Waddle Dee portrait - A painting of a Waddle Dee from Kirby Mass Attack that throws bombs at the Kirbys if they go near one.
• Puppet Waddle Dee - A large papier-mâché puppet operated by three Waddle Dees, meant to resemble a big Waddle Dee. It can be busted open to reveal the three Waddle Dees inside, or inhaled whole. In Kirby Star Allies, it can be defeated instantly with a Sizzle-imbued attack.
• Armor Waddle Dee - A tougher variety of Puppet Waddle Dee which is made of metal and resembles a robot, though still manned by three Waddle Dees.
• Grandy - Another larger-than-usual Waddle Dee, set apart by its furry coat, that appears in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot.

• Walker Waddle Dee - A Waddle Dee who operates a suit of mechanical legs in Kirby: Planet Robobot. The legs have to be destroyed first before the Waddle Dee can be dealt with. Walkers can also be equipped with cannons and/or jets. The missiles the cannons shoot provide the Bomb ability if swallowed.
