'''Metalun''' is an enemy exclusively found in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. It is a [[large enemy|large creature]] that is an angular, multi-sided solid of polished metal, possessing no features apart from two small, black eyes and a pair of flat, retractable feet, much like [[Rocky]]'s appearance from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Although vulnerable to all attacks, Metaluns possess a relatively large amount of health and, like most similarly sized enemies in the game, can only be inhaled with a [[Super Inhale]]. Inhaling and swallowing one awards [[Kirby]] with the [[Metal]] [[Copy Ability|ability]].

Metalun makes its debut and only appearance as an enemy in this game. Metalun initially remains stationary until approached by [[Kirby]], the latter event causing it to retract its feet and begin to slowly roll towards the pink hero in a matter similar to a [[Gansan]], briefly halting whenever one of its flat sides is touching the ground. After rotating by 360° (and thus returning to its inital orientation) for the second time (requiring twelve turns in total), it stops rolling and its feet reappear. If Kirby is out of its range by this point, Metalun returns to its stationary form until approached again, but if he is still in its proximity, it immediately repeats its method of attack. Metalun cannot change direction while in motion, allowing Kirby to avoid it by jumping over, but it may do so after stopping.

When possessed by [[Ghost]] Kirby, Metalun can be made to walk, jump, and perform its signature roll attack. Even when rolling, however, it cannot attack without also taking damage.
