Awoofy is an orange fox-like creature which makes its first appearance in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It is the most basic enemy in the game, and the most common member of the Beast Pack, and is seen chasing Waddle Dees so they can be captured by the pack's Clockers. Awoofy takes on the general shape of a fox with a large head, stubby limbs, and a long tail. While its main fur color is orange, its front paws, top of the head, tips of the ears, and tip of the tail are red, while its muzzle and underbelly are tan, and its hind paws are yellow. It has brown eyes similar in style to Kirby's. Though primarily quadrupedal, Awoofies can often be seen standing upright when looking around or holding still.
Awoofy's general behavior is to sit in place, patrol a given area, or sleep until Kirby gets close enough for it to spot him. When this happens, Awoofy responds by running after Kirby at a modest speed, aiming to hurt him by collision. Awoofy can be easily defeated with any method, and grants no Copy Ability if swallowed. Awoofies are worth one Star Coin when defeated.
Its name comes from "woof," the onomatopoeia for a dog's bark, and "awoo," the onomatopoeia for howling. It is also likely based on "Waddle Dee", given the similarities between the two species.
Locations
Awoofy can be found in most early stages in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Starting with An Unexpected Beast King, it is largely replaced with its stronger cousin: Primal Awoofy.
Awoofy can be found in the following stages:
Other appearances
- In Kirby's Dream Buffet, an Awoofy appears on a Character Treat, using its artwork from Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
- In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, a Dress-Up Mask based on Awoofy can be unlocked by completing Stamp Rally card #18.
Trivia
- Within the internal game data, Awoofy is named "AnimalWaddleDee".[1]
- Three Awoofies can be seen on the boxart for Kirby and the Forgotten Land, albeit a bit hard to see due to being in the background. There are two on the buildings and one running on the ground.
