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, in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, alternate coloring 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.
