A Monster is a creature which often serves as the villain for a given episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, typically dispatched by Night Mare Enterprises. Monsters come in many types, and often overlap with enemies, Mid-Bosses and Bosses from the video game series, though many are original. The typical formula of episodes would involve Kirby pitted against one or more monsters that King Dedede sends after him, using a specific Copy Ability to take them down.
Not all monsters are inherently hostile. Some are temperamental, but usually friendly, and some actually become friends with Kirby, and will defend him. Some otherwise regular characters and entities also have the potential to transform into monsters, including Kirby himself.
List of monsters
The following is a list of each monster which appears in the anime series, along with details regarding their characteristics and so on. Enemies which appear in the Kirby of the Stars Pilot are not included in this list:
Appearance | Monster | Episode(s) | Ability provided | Original? | Powers | Weakness(es) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

It can also breathe fire and hypnotize people. | Octacon is weak to its own fire breath. | Octacon would later cameo in Kirby Star Allies. | ||
A Blockbuster Battle | Stone | (re-designed) | Blocky can change size and crush foes with its massive girth.

File:Kracko.png | Dark and Stormy Knight | Sword | Kracko is able to soar high above the ground and obscure himself with a massive thunderhead. He can send out lightning bolts with pin-point accuracy from great distances, and can also conjure a lightning sword that moves on its own. | Kracko is weak to the Sword Beam. | Kracko's powers are somewhat different from those of his video game incarnation.

Escargoon Squad | N/A | The Ghost Monster is capable of flying through the air and passing through solid objects. | Unknown. | The Ghost Monster is the first enemy monster who does not battle Kirby and is not defeated.
