'''Coner''' is an enemy in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] with the form of a [[wikipedia:Hermit crab|hermit crab]]. It made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and has since appeared in a small selection of subsequent games in the series.
'''Coner''' is an [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] with the form of a [[wikipedia:Hermit crab|hermit crab]]. It made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' and has since appeared in a small selection of subsequent games in the series.


Coner's appearance is that of a hermit crab - it possesses a conical spiral shell with eyes, legs and pincers emerging from the base. It has exceptionally large eyes that peer out from below the shell, giving Coner a shy appearance. The original {{UserLang|us=coloring|gb=colouring}} of Coner is a green shell and yellow skin; however, in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', alternate {{UserLang|us=coloring|gb=colouring}} gives it pink and yellow tone variations as well.

Coners have two interesting qualities—they are among the few enemies that can survive both on land and in water, and they are also impossible for Kirby to inhale when inside their shell.

=== ''Kirby's Dream Land'' ===

Coner makes its first appearance in the very first ''Kirby'' game. It appears exclusively in [[Float Islands]] and is worth 600 points when defeated. Unlike many other enemies, it is not replaced by anything else in the [[Extra Game]].

===''Kirby's Star Stacker'' (Game Boy)===

Coner is the only character in the game who does not return in the [[Kirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom)|SNES version]].


=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' ===
=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' ===
After a very long absence, Coner reappears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' as a standard enemy, making its first appearance in 3-D. Its behavior is largely unchanged from its older appearances.
