'''Acro''' (also referred to as '''Akro the Whale'''<ref>''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' instructional manual, page 34</ref>) is an [[Water (environment)|aquatic]] [[boss]] that has appeared in [[Ripple Field (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Ripple Field]] from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and [[Aqua Star]] from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. It is a killer whale, and its name is "orca" spelled backwards. Appropriately to its name, Acro's main attack strategy is by performing underwater ''acro''batics to body slam [[Kirby]], but it can also spit various objects and projectiles from its mouth, which can serve as Kirby's means of counterattack.

{{main|Ripple Field - Stage 7}}
Acro is the boss of [[Ripple Field (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Ripple Field]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. The fight with Acro takes place in two phases, both in a deep underwater cavern. The first phase takes place in a dry area over a bridge. Here, Acro tries to ram Kirby, causing rocks to fall when it hits the wall. These rocks can be inhaled and spat back at Acro to do damage.
