Heh. It was a mistake to come here, Kirby. As you can see, you and your puny band of Star Warriors pose no threat to me. Challenging me is the last mistake you will ever make!
— eNeMeE in Combat Kirby

eNeMeE is the primary villain of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, and the head of Night Mare Enterprises. Before the events of the show, eNeMeE had managed to dominate the known universe using his monsters and forces, wiping out most of the Star Warriors in the process and creating a galactic empire centered on his floating fortress. Through the N.M.E. Sales Guy, he sends monsters into Dream Land which Kirby must defeat.

Throughout the majority of the show, eNeMeE remains hidden, and has relatively little dialogue. He is much more prominent in the final episode of the main series - Fright to the Finish - where Kirby defeats him using the Star Rod, thus liberating the galaxy from N.M.E.'s clutches.

Characteristics

eNeMeE is a spectral being and a living nightmare who is able to manifest at various sizes. He is invulnerable to all regular physical and energy-based attacks, as they will merely end up being absorbed into the void inside his cloak. He has the power to create monsters (Kabu explains in Kirby's Duel Role that Kirby himself was created by eNeMeE, though he was unable to control him afterward) and hypnotize people with his gaze. His main power is the ability to enter other characters' dreams and cause them to have nightmares, though in this state, he is vulnerable to attacks from the Star Rod, which is his only weakness.

eNeMeE's motives are not clearly known, but he is shown to take pleasure in causing others pain through his monsters and by giving them nightmares. His main objective throughout the show is to hunt down and destroy all of the Star Warriors so that he can conquer the universe. To this end, he set up Night Mare Enterprises in order to develop a network of transmitters which he uses to send monsters to wayward worlds.
