Grumples is an obscure enemy from Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby Super Star Ultra. It vaguely resembles Kabu, but has a meaner face and a different shape. Grumples floats and, like Kabu, can vanish and later reappear out of nowhere. It can be inhaled by Kirby, but grants no Copy Ability when swallowed. Grumples is similar in look and color to Kabu, though its face is notably more dour (hence the name Grumples, similar to the word 'grumpy'). Grumples also has more angular features, with its head tapering into a point in its artwork and in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
Grumples acts similar to Kabu, rolling along the floor and phasing in and out of sight to appear somewhere else. Despite the altered look, Grumples is not much faster than Kabu, nor does it have any more durability.
