| “ | My floating friend there, Doc, built my airship. He's a genius when it comes to machines. Right, Doc? Hmm. He's getting on in years now, but I'm sure he's got a lot of big ideas knocking around his head. | ” | — Daroach in Kirby Mass Attack |
Doc is a member of the Squeaks serving under Daroach, who debuted in [[Kirby: Squeak Squad|Template:KSqS KMoA]]. He is easily the smallest of the named Squeak members, but is distinguished by his mad-scientist-style glasses, his green mustache, and his penchant for inventing and operating robots and other machines. Notable inventions of Doc include his flying saucer, Mecha-Kracko, Yadgaine, and Daroach's Airship. In Template:KSqS KMoA, Doc is fought on several occasions as a Mid-Boss and twice as a boss using these various machines. Without a machine to pilot, he is helpless.
Physical Appearance
Doc is easily the smallest of the named Squeaks, comparable to a Squeaker in size, but bears a huge green mustache and stereotypical mad scientist goggles, and is often seen operating a flying saucer.
Personality
In Kirby Mass Attack, Daroach reveals that Doc is "a genius when it comes to machines" but is "getting on in years". While Doc himself never speaks, Daroach claims that he invented all of the Squeaks' gadgets, including the airship which Daroach uses in said game.

As a Mid-Boss
Doc appears alongside Spinni and Storo as a major enemy which Kirby will need to contend with in some stages once picking up a large Treasure Chest. He pursues Kirby in his flying saucer and will attempt to fire beams and drop bombs (which yield the Bomb Copy Ability) at him, causing Kirby to drop a chest if hit. Doc can then attempt to steal the chest using a claw from his saucer. If Doc is hit, he may drop a laser gun, which Kirby can swallow for the Laser ability.
If great damage is sustained, Doc will be ejected from his saucer, and left stunned for a while before hopping back into another one. If his saucer lands on the ground when this happens, Kirby can swallow it for the UFO ability.
Doc has 70 HP as a Mid-Boss, the lowest among himself, Spinni and Storo. Kirby's Star Bullet deals 40 damage per shot so Doc can be easily defeated by 2 Star Bullets.
