Uniclods are enemies who appeared in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. They first appear in-game in the level Flower Fields, in Grass Land. Uniclods are new enemies created by Yin-Yarn to help him take over Patch Land; they are very proud of their horns and try to use those horns to charge into Kirby, harming him. If Kirby is hit by a charging Uniclod, Kirby will lose several beads.
Uniclods can be defeated by using Kirby's yarn whip on them. If Kirby tries to crush them with his weight, while they are standing up, he will be damaged by the contact. If Kirby uses Roll Up to roll up Uniclod, it will transform into an arrow which will pierce through enemies when thrown.
Uniclod's name comes from "unicorn", a mythical creature with a single horn, and "Cyclod".
