Elfilin is a small flying rodent-like creature with giant ears (the right one having a large missing section on the rim) and turquoise fur who first appeared in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and serves as Kirby's primary companion in that game. Elfilin is capable of speech and appears to be a main character in the game (though not a playable one), but as of now, it is not clear what his precise role is.

Game appearances

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Elfilin makes his first appearance in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and is among the first (if not the very first) creatures that Kirby frees from one of the Beast Pack's cages. From there, Elfilin accompanies Kirby on his adventure, and also participates in the Sub-Games to a certain degree.

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.
