Coner

Coner is an enemy in the Kirby series with the form of a hermit crab. It made its first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land and has since appeared in several side-scrolling Kirby games.
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 coloring of Coner is a green shell and yellow skin; however, alternate coloring in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land 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.
After a very long absence, Coner reappears in Kirby Star Allies as a standard enemy. Its behavior appears to be unchanged from its older appearances.
