Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively. Their name is probably derived from their {{behavior}}, since they usually just waddle around in levels and leap in the air occasionally, neither paying attention to, nor actively attacking Kirby. While they are generally considered harmless, they usually [[damage]] Kirby if they run into him or if he touches them. Many, but not all Waddle Dees seem to have affiliated themselves with [[King Dedede]]. Those Waddle Dees show a great amount of respect and loyalty towards their leader. King Dedede often employs them as servants, soldiers, and guards. The most loyal of these is [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], named after his blue bandana, who also happens to be friends with Kirby. | Overall, Waddle Dees are depicted as peaceful denizens of Dream Land that seldom fight actively.

Waddle Dees first appeared in the game ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', making them some of the oldest enemies to be found in the whole [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. They have subsequently reappeared in one form or another in every game in the series, becoming arguably just as iconic as Kirby himself. | Waddle Dees first appeared in the game ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', making them some of the oldest enemies to be found in the whole [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]].

Waddle Dees may be compared to the [[mariowiki:Goomba|Goomba]] species from the [[mariowiki:Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] as both are considered to be common, ubiquitous, basic enemies who may be found in many roles and varieties, and have individual stand-out members. | ||
