'''Como''' is an enemy debuting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. He resembles a [[wikipedia:Spider|spider]], usually with three body segments, three eyes and six stubby legs, three on each side of his body. His col{{o}}r scheme varies between appearances, but is almost always dominated by shades of yellow. In most of his appearances he grants no [[Copy Ability]] when inhaled, but in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' Kirby can inhale Como for the [[Spider]] ability.

In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', Comos make their first appearance. Here, their body is portrayed as yellow, while their legs are pink. The col{{o}}r of their pincers differs between sprites and artwork, being shown as pink in the former and yellow in the latter.

These arachnids are first encountered in the sixth stage of [[Grass Land (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Grass Land]] and comparably rare throughout the game. They start out hanging from a ceiling, immobile and often partially hidden, but as soon as [[Kirby]] approaches them, they fall down, dangling above the ground by a long silk thread at a height that depends on the hero's position.

As soon as the Como has stopped, he proceeds to spit a ball of silk towards Kirby if he is below it, which turns into a small net after a short while that floats in midair before disappearing. Kirby gets hurt if he touches these projectiles, but may use a [[Copy Ability]] or spit something at them to destroy them. After waiting for a few seconds, the Como pulls himself upwards again, returning to his starting position and repeating the process shortly afterwards.

Comos reappear in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse|{{KCC KPP}}]]'', where the col{{o}}r of their body has been changed from yellow to brown or orange, while their legs and pincers are now yellow. The number of glands on their abdomens has also multiplied from one to two.

In ''{{KCC KPP}}'', Como appears in the following locations:

Comos reappear in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]'' as a common enemy, being first encountered in the second stage of [[Cookie Country]]. In this incarnation, they look similar to their original in-game appearance, but only consist of two segments, having gained a horizontal brown stripe across their middle in place of a division line. Comos in this game often hang off of ceilings and fall down on a web when Kirby gets near, exhibiting no further aggressive behavi{{o}}r. Sometimes Comos will retract back into their original position. Like in other games, cutting the string with a projectile or other attack will cause the Como to drop, thereby defeating him.

In ''{{KRtDL KAW}}'' Como can be found in the following levels and stages:

Como makes an appearance in some of the chambers in [[New Challenge Stages]]. Its look and function are directly taken from its previous appearance in {{KRtDL KAW}}.

Como appears briefly in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', with the same appearance and attack pattern as before.

Como appears in some stages of ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]'', dropping in its string from the sky to try and get in King Dedede's way. It will be defeated if King Dedede jumps through its string, cutting it off and causing it to fall.

Como appears briefly in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' as well, again with the same appearance and attack pattern as before. It only appears in stage 7 of [[Gigabyte Grounds]].

Como makes a cameo appearance in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Flower Power]]. Here, it is much larger than its video game counterpart, and sports a hairy body with tiger stripes, acting more like a traditional spider. It lives in the deep jungle region [[Babagahara]], making large cobwebs for prey to fall into. [[Tuff]] accidentally drops a comatose [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] into one of these webs, and with covert help from [[Meta Knight (anime)|Meta Knight]], manages to repel the spider so he can get Kirby out of there.

*Out of all ability-providing enemies, Como has the longest gap between its debut and its first ability-providing appearance, with there being 12 years between ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
