Como is an enemy debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 3. It resembles a spider, usually with three body segments, three eyes and six stubby legs, three on each side of its body. Its colTemplate:Or scheme varies between appearances, but is almost always dominated by shades of yellow. In Kirby Star Allies, however, Kirby can inhale Como for the Spider ability.

In-game sprite.

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Comos make their first appearance. Here, their body is portrayed as yellow, while their legs are pink. The colTemplate:Or 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 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, it 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 itself upwards again, returning to its starting position and repeating the process shortly afterwards.

Comos are vulnerable to any attack, but yield no ability when inhaled and swallowed. As an alternative to attacking the spider itself, Kirby can sever the thread by which it is hanging by using an ability or spitting something at it. Succeeding in doing so causes the Como to fall down, popping when it hits the ground. Once defeated, these enemies do not respawn until Kirby leaves the section they are found in.

Kirby: Canvas Curse

Comos reappear in Canvas Curse, where the colTemplate:Or 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.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Comos reappear in Kirby's Return to Dream Land 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 anymore, 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 behaviTemplate:Or. 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 it.

As with many other enemies in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, bigger versions of Comos are sometimes encountered. These behave identically, but can only be inhaled with a Super Inhale and results in a larger star when spat out.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

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

Kirby: Planet Robobot

Como appears briefly in Kirby: Planet Robobot as well, again with the same appearance and attack pattern as before.

“After years of work…a major role!” He doesn’t just hang around anymore. He’s the three-eyed hero who was nominated by his kind to go on a quest! Now he can snare evil in his web!
— Pause screen caption for Como, Kirby Star Allies

Como appears in this title, though this time with a much more significant role. For the first time in the series, it yields a Copy Ability when swallowed, in the form of Spider. As such, it can also be recruited as a Friend, where it can then roam freely on the ground, and use similar moves to Spider Kirby. Upon becoming a friend, Como gains feet and is no longer constrained to its silk strand.
