Whispy Woods , also sometimes named Whispy, is one of the most iconic bosses of the Kirby series. He appears in the majority of titles in the form of an autonomous tree, one that can perceive and produce human-like emotion with its anthropomorphic face, situated right on its trunk. While this boss has arguably been one of the easiest Kirby has ever fought, on its appearances alone, it has become quite the staple of the Kirby franchise, in the same vein as Kirby's home world, Pop Star.
Appearances
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Whispy Woods is the final obstacle Kirby will face at the end of the Pop Star realm, in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. While the boss itself is anchored to its spot, and rightly so as it is a tree, the foe will take damage based on the bodily extensions it provides during the battle: in the beginning, three smaller versions of Whispy Woods, called Whispy Woods Jr., jump about the stage, oblivious to Kirby, while later on Whispy Woods attempts to injure Kirby by sending out stocky wood spikes, all of which are vulnerable to attack. During the battle, Whispy Woods will consistently shake itself, dropping apples that can be used as projectiles, however, it seems as if the falling fruits were originally intended to act as one of Whispy Woods' attacks, not a beneficiary on Kirby's part. Of all of Whispy Woods' attacks, of which can all be avoided, the least significant is the small puff of air it sporadically blows from its mouth cavity, doing a small amount of damage to Kirby in the event he is in its path.
Like with all enemies and bosses, if Kirby is in possession of a certain copy ability (i.e. Fire, Cutter, etc.) or a combination of two, he will be able to use such powers to injure the boss, instead of the fallen apples provided, as in this battle.
