Hot Head is usually depicted as being orange-red, but is also found in other colors. It is about as tall as Kirby, and its physique consists of a main head-body with two stubby feet and no arms. Its mouth is funnel-shaped, similar to octopus-like enemies such as [[Flotzo]]. It has a bright orange mane which often flickers like fire, making its incendiary nature fairly easy to recognize.

==Attacks==
Hot Head attacks [[Kirby]] by either shooting a single fireball from its mouth at Kirby, usually done from a distance, or breathing out fire, which is usually done if it is near Kirby. Neither of these attacks are particularly quick, but they can catch Kirby off-guard if he is not paying attention. The fireball attack in particular is capable of being fired at many different angles, making it more potentially accurate than [[Shotzo]] fire.
