Whispy Woods is the first Boss of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', fought at the end of [[Green Greens]] and later on appears in [[Mt. Dedede]]. 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 a [[Sparkling Star]] 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 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>, 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.
In pre-release material for the game, Whispy Woods was referred to as "Buster Woddo".<ref>"Buster Woddo" can be seen in [https://archive.org/details/kirbys20thanniversary/Kirby_s%2020th%20Anniversary%20(22).JPG the ''Kirby's 20th Anniversary Celebration Booklet''] that came with ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''.</ref> This fact was later referenced in [[:File:TKCD Twitter - Whispy Work Password.jpg|a password for ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'']].

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Whispy serves as the boss of the first level - [[Grass Land (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Grass Land]]. Unlike in previous incarnations, Whispy will drop and spit out vegetables that Kirby must use to retaliate with. This battle comes in two phases, with the second involving Whispy uprooting and chasing Kirby down. He can kick Kirby away if he's near him.

In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and its [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|3DS version]], Whispy Woods is fought as a mid-boss in [[Whispy's Forest]]—the first stage of [[Dream Land#Kirby's Epic Yarn|Dream Land]]. Kirby fights Whispy with his [[Tankbot]] form, using missiles to attack Whispy's body. Whispy's attacks pattern are the same from other ''Kirby'' games: he can spit out [[Air Bullet]]s to damage Kirby and can throw [[Apple]]s in a faster way than his earlier appearances, though both of these can be shot down using missiles. Notably, Whispy Woods begins to sag more and more as he takes damage, eventually becoming scrunched down when he is defeated.

*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.

*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. This ranks Whispy Woods as the second most prevalent boss character after [[Kracko]] (not counting [[King Dedede]], who makes appearances as a playable character just as often as a Boss).

*Whispy Woods is typically portrayed as being roughly 9 [[Kirby]]s tall, before any other transformations or changes in size are taken into account. Given Kirby's height of eight inches, this would make the tree roughly six feet (or 1.83 meters) tall.

*In most games, Whispy Woods is referred to as either neuter or male, but in the Brazilian Portuguese version of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', he is referred to as female. This is likely because Portuguese has grammatical gender, and the Portuguese words for "tree", ''árvore'', and "wood", ''madeira'', are both grammatically female. This is further evidenced by [[Grand Doomer]] also being referred to as female, likely due to its Portuguese name ("Spectrosfera Mor") being derived from the Portuguese word for "sphere", ''esfera'', which is also female.
