'''Kany''' is an enemy appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Its name comes from the Japanese word for crab, ''kani'', and as such, it resembles a crab (though in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', it bears a simplified look and with evenly-sized claws attacked to lines coming out the top of its head). In ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', it looks somewhat different, having features of both a crab and a shellfish. Kany appears only in sea/island levels where it thrives amongst the other enemies. If inhaled, it will give out no ability.

Kany makes a small cameo appearance in the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' in the episode [[Pink-Collar Blues]]. In this episode, it pops out of the sand at the beach as [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] and his friends are trying to sneak past the [[Waddle Dee (anime character)|Waddle Dees]] to get into the cave they are guarding. When Kirby sees Kany, he becomes distracted by it and tries to play with it, but it ends up snipping his hand causing him to shout out and blow their cover. Later on, Kirby can be seen dancing with Kany along with the Waddle Dees. Its design in the anime looks similar to [[Peezer]], but with two eyes.
