'''Puppet Waddle Dee'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a [[large enemy]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. It is a paper-like puppet resembling a large [[Waddle Dee]], which is controlled by three regular Waddle Dees underneath. This outer shell gives the Waddle Dees more [[health|durability]]. It attacks by moving slowly toward [[Kirby]] and hitting him by contact, or by holding still and blocking off a walkway. When defeated normally, the costume explodes and the three Waddle Dees go flying, returning to regular enemies who will then proceed to waddle about as usual once they collect themselves, although it can be swallowed whole using [[Inhale|Super Inhale]]. A robotic, more formidable (albeit slower) variation of Puppet Waddle Dee is the [[Armor Waddle Dee]], which a variant of acts as a replacement for Puppet Waddle Dee in [[Halcandra]]. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Puppet Waddle Dee is weak against [[Fire]]/[[Power Effect|Sizzle]]-based attacks, burning up immediately and defeating the three Waddle Dees inside instantly.


'''Puppet Waddle Dee'''{{ForeignTitle}}, also known as '''Puppet Dee'''{{DataTitle}}, is an enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Puppet Waddle Dee is actually three regular [[Waddle Dee]]s in a [[large enemy|larger paper-like Waddle Dee costume]]. The costume gives the Waddle Dees more [[Stamina|durability]]. When defeated, the costume explodes and the three [[Waddle Dees]] go flying, returning to regular enemies. A robotic, more formidable (albeit slower) version of this enemy appearing in [[Halcandra]] is the [[Armor Dee]].  
The costume is quickly given away, as the craftsmanship is shoddy, with seams, stitches, and tape visible on the outside. Balls connected to sticks poke out of each side to appear as its arms, and four feet can be seen below, belonging to two out of the three Waddle Dees inside. The eyes on the puppet are holes, presumably allowing the third Waddle Dee to see out of the costume.


While Puppet Waddle Dee will normally split into three Waddle Dees when broken, it can be swallowed whole using a [[Inhaling|Super Inhale]]. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', Puppet Waddle Dee is weak against [[Fire]]/[[Sizzle]]-based attacks, burning up immediately and the three Waddle Dees inside instantly defeated.

Puppet Waddle Dee's costume looks like a giant Waddle Dee, but the craftsmanship is shoddy, with seams, stitches and tape visible on the outside. Little balls connected to sticks poke out of the sides to look like arms. Four feet stick out the bottom, presumably representing two out of the three Waddle Dees inside. The eyes on the puppet are holes, which presumably let the third Waddle Dee see out of the suit.

Puppet Waddle Dee[Japanese title] is a large enemy that debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is a paper-like puppet resembling a large Waddle Dee, which is controlled by three regular Waddle Dees underneath. This outer shell gives the Waddle Dees more durability. It attacks by moving slowly toward Kirby and hitting him by contact, or by holding still and blocking off a walkway. When defeated normally, the costume explodes and the three Waddle Dees go flying, returning to regular enemies who will then proceed to waddle about as usual once they collect themselves, although it can be swallowed whole using Super Inhale. A robotic, more formidable (albeit slower) variation of Puppet Waddle Dee is the Armor Waddle Dee, which a variant of acts as a replacement for Puppet Waddle Dee in Halcandra. In Kirby Star Allies, Puppet Waddle Dee is weak against Fire/Sizzle-based attacks, burning up immediately and defeating the three Waddle Dees inside instantly.

The costume is quickly given away, as the craftsmanship is shoddy, with seams, stitches, and tape visible on the outside. Balls connected to sticks poke out of each side to appear as its arms, and four feet can be seen below, belonging to two out of the three Waddle Dees inside. The eyes on the puppet are holes, presumably allowing the third Waddle Dee to see out of the costume.
