'''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 Dee]]s so they can be captured by the pack's cage crows. 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 white. 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 takes on the general shape of a fox with a large head, stubby limbs, and a long tail. Its main fur color is orange; its front paws, top of the head, tips of the ears, and tip of the tail are red; 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.

— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

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. Its job is to chase down 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. Its main fur color is orange; its front paws, top of the head, tips of the ears, and tip of the tail are red; 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 is a portmanteau of the onomatopoeic words "woof" (a dog's bark) and "awoo" (a howling sound). It is also likely based on "Waddle Dee", given the similarities between the two species.
