'''Phan Phan''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', where it replaces [[Rolling Turtle]] from the original ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and has since appeared in various other games of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It was last seen as an enemy in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', where it appeared in [[Revenge of the King]] and [[The True Arena]]. Depending on the game, it yields either the [[Throw]] or the [[Suplex]] [[Copy Ability]] when [[Kirby]] [[inhale]]s and swallows it after defeating it.

Phan Phan's appearance is similar to that of an elephant, except that it is bipedal and has a spherical body. It has large, black eyes, and three strands of hair, similar to the two strands of hair on [[Waddle Doo]]. Phan Phan often attacks by rolling at Kirby, lifting and throwing him with its trunk, and stomping on him. It also throws [[apple]]s at Kirby, which can be inhaled and spat out at Phan Phan to deal damage.
