| |
| In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Fatty Whale makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!]]''. He is a dangerous creature that lives in an underground lake, in a room beneath an ancient temple. The temple has a trap door that leads right to the lake he lives in. Fatty Whale will charge at any intruders while angrily spouting seawater. However, Fatty Whale knows his limitations, and will not chase prey on land if they escape the lake.

| In ''Kirby Meets the Squeak Squad!'', when [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]], [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]], and the [[Squeaks]] end up in the underground lake, they are given a breather to explain important things to Waddle Dee. However, when [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] and [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] catch up, the water intensely shakes as Fatty Whale emerges. Kirby and Dedede want to fight him, but Meta Knight warns them about the danger, and that Fatty Whale has the advantage in water. Everyone then paddles away from Fatty Whale, except Waddle Dee, who is not a good swimmer. Kirby [[Hover|hovers]] over to help. [[Daroach]] points out that it would be faster if Waddle Dee grabs onto the UFO that [[Doc]] pilots instead. Kirby is reluctant about this at first, but allows it, and Doc saves Waddle Dee. Everyone quickly escapes the lake and reaches the shore. Fatty Whale gets frustrated that they are now out of his range, and gives up.
