— Gotcha Figurine description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Elfilin is a character who appears in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, serving as Kirby's primary companion. He is a small flying rodent-like creature capable of speech with giant ears, the right one having a large missing section on the rim, and turquoise fur. His eyes are bright blue and appear to shimmer in the light. He joins Kirby after being rescued from a Beast Pack cage in the stage Point of Arrival.

Game appearances

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Elfilin makes his first appearance in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and is the very first that Kirby frees from one of the Beast Pack's cages in the Point of Arrival stage. Once freed, Elfilin is eager to help Kirby free all of the captured Waddle Dees, and so he accompanies Kirby on his adventure then after, and also participates in Sub-Games to a certain degree. In stages, Elfilin may pipe up with some instructional dialogue, for instance, informing Kirby that he can keep his Copy Ability while using a Mouthful Mode if he keeps discarding his ability near a mouthful object.

Trivia

• The large hole on the outer rim of Elfilin's right ear is reminiscent of the practice of ear punching, wherein laboratory mice have specific sections of their ears punched out in order for researchers to more easily identify them.

Quotes

Quotes from Elfilin in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

"Phew! You saved me! Thank you..." "But what about those other guys, the Waddle Dees? They were all captured! And taken away!" "We fought those beasts as hard as we could, but they kept coming back for more." "I have to go save them. I have to!" "What? You'll help me save everyone? That's great!" "So...your name is Kirby?" "I'm Elfilin! Nice to meet you!" "See the stars that keep popping up? You can use B to inhale them, then spit 'em back out with B again!" "If you don't have a Copy Ability handy, try to spit those stars back at the enemy. That'll show 'em!" "Ooh! It looks like you can inhale this big object without dropping your current Copy Ability..." "Approach the object, then press B to give it a try!" "C'mon, Kirby! Let's go save those poor, captured Waddle Dees!" "I wonder what the Waddle Dees are planning to rebuild next..." "We still need to collect a few figures... Let's use a Gotcha Machine!" "If you need to rest, a quick nap in this cute little house oughta perk you right up!" "Low on health? Kirby's House will always cover your needs...in a cozy blanket!"
