Puppet Waddle Dee: Difference between revisions

|caption=A Puppet Dee from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

'''Puppet Dee'''<ref>Romani{{z}}ation obtained from the enemy's model name on the game disc.</ref> is an enemy that debuted in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. Puppet Dees are actually three regular [[Waddle Dees]] in a larger paper-like Waddle Dee costume. The costume gives the [[Waddle Dees]] more {{UserLang|us=defense|gb=defence}}. 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]].  

While Puppet 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 Dee is weak against [[Fire]]/[[Sizzle]]-based attacks, burning up immediately and the three Waddle Dees inside instantly defeated.

Puppet Dees 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 Dees attack by moving slowly toward Kirby and hitting him by contact, or by holding still, blocking off a walkway. When defeated, the puppet shell breaks, tossing out the three Waddle Dees that were inside, who will then proceed to waddle about as usual once they collect themselves.
