'''Skully''' is an [[enemy]] in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''. They are members of the [[Skull Gang]] and they are skulls floating in a purple haze. In the [[Skull Key]] dimension, they float around and try to kidnap the [[Kirby]]s. According to [[Daroach]], they used to live in darkness until [[Necrodeus]] got the magic staff. They patrol the [[Popopo Islands]], so whenever the Kirbys go from one island to another, the Skullys attack them until only one Kirby is left, so Kirby has to gather Kirbys again every time he travels between the islands. When the Kirbys defeat [[Skullord]], they stop patrolling the islands and start patrolling [[Necro Nebula]], so until Kirby beats Necrodeus, he is reduced down to one Kirby every time he enters or leaves the Necro Nebula.

In the main Story Mode, Skullys are typically only encountered and fought in the Skull Key dimension. Here, they will gather in a large horde and try to dive at the Kirbys to pull them away. If a Kirby is grabbed, the remaining Kirbys need to slam the apprehending Skully to free its captive before the poor Kirby is carried out off the top of the screen and destroyed. Defeating a Skully confers 300 points onto the player. In these encounters, there will always be a special red Skully that carries the treasure chest which the Skull Key fits. Defeating this Skully rewards the player with 500 points and ends the battle early, allowing the Kirbys to obtain the treasure inside the chest and return to the regular stage. It is not until later stages of [[Volcano Valley]] when Skullys can be found patrolling outside of these dimensions.

Skully also appears in the [[Strato Patrol EOS]] minigame. It appears holding kidnapped Kirbys and shooting it is how Kirby gathers more friends in this [[Sub-Game]].

== Locations ==
