'''Kabu''' is a reoccurring [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], having appeared in many games since its debut in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. It resembles a sculpted stone head, similar to the faces of the [[wikipedia:Moai|moai]], with a flat bottom and a rounded top (though sometimes being depicted as cubical), typically beige or brown in color. Its face consists of two holes in place of eyes, a sculpted wedge-like nose, and a perpetually open mouth.
'''Kabu''' is a recurring enemy in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It has appeared in many games, beginning with ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. It appears to be a head-like being, made mostly of stone; usually crimson or silver in {{colour}}. Its face consists of two holes in place of eyes, a sculpted nose, and a perpetually open mouth. In some games, however, Kabu is cubical.


Depending on the game, Kabu may attack in a large amount of ways, including jumping, sliding, flying, and even teleporting. [[Big Kabu]], a larger counterpart of Kabu, can also spit out smaller Kabu. [[Kirby]] can inhale and swallow Kabu, but in turn, does not receive a [[Copy Ability]].

[[File:KDL Kabu sprite.png]] Kabu debuted along with Kirby in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Here, it can be found in the [[Float Islands]] stage, in the caves. It can be found patrolling the walkways as well as nestled inside holes in the walls. It attacks by sliding into Kirby, and dropping down on him from above. It can also fade away, and reappear in different areas. In the [[Extra Game]], it is replaced by [[Grumples]].
