'''N-Z''' is an enemy character debuting and so far only appearing in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. It appears to be a black spherical creature similar in size to [[Kirby]] with pointy cat-like ears, white feet and small black eyes, vaguely resembling a [[Scarfy]], though with no mouth. N-Z does not give any [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] to Kirby when inhaled and swallowed. There is a [[Mid-Boss]] variant of N-Z in the first stage of Pop Star which sits in place as smaller N-Zs spawn around him. N-Z also appears on the 10th [[Enemy Info Card]].

Despite its unassuming appearance and relatively non-threatening presence, N-Z appears in peculiar locations in the game which imply that it is related to the main villain of the story; [[Dark Matter]]. Firstly, N-Z appears on every planet which Dark Matter has visited, but is absent from the four intermediate worlds which Dark Matter does not visit. Additionally, in [[Ripple Star - Stage 3|stage 3 of]] [[Ripple Star]], N-Z appears continuously from a dark vortex in the uppermost room, just before Kirby proceeds to the next stage to battle [[Miracle Matter]]. Lastly, in the final level [[Dark Star]] - a world composed entirely of Dark Matter - N-Z is the only common enemy that appears there.
