'''Spear Waddle Dee''' is an enemy encountered infrequently in the ''[[Kirby]]'' series. They are [[Waddle Dee]]s who carry [[Spear]]s, though they do not grant the [[Spear]] ability when swallowed (as they have yet to appear in a title where Kirby can use the [[Spear]] ability). Despite this pointy implement in their hands, Spear Waddle Dees are not too much more threatening than standard ones, as most don't seem to know how to use it.
{{About|Waddle Dees who wield a spear|Waddle Dees in a general context|[[Waddle Dee]]}}
'''Spear Waddle Dees''' are a spear-wielding variant of [[Waddle Dee]]s encountered throughout the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''. Spear Waddle Dees may appear to either not do much with their spear (instead having a longer reach to hit the player) or make use of it greatly as a melee or throwable weapon in some games where they appear. So far, Spear Waddle Dees grant no ability when swallowed, as they currently do not appear as enemies in games where the [[Spear]] ability is available.


Waddle Dees carrying spears were first seen in the anime; ''[[Kirby: Right Back At Ya!]]'', specifically as guards for [[King Dedede]]. This eventually carried over to their first appearance in the video game series, in the ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' game [[Revenge of the King]].

[[File:KSSU Spear Waddle Dee Sprite.png]] Spear Waddle Dee appears in this title, specifically in [[Revenge of the King]], in the levels [[Crash Clouds]] and [[The Revenge]]. Spear Waddle Dees can be seen patrolling the halls of the castle with their spears aimed either forward or upward. All this really succeeds in doing, however, is extending their reach somewhat, as they do not know how to thrust with the spears. Some [[Parasol Waddle Dee]]s can also be seen with spears.

Spear Waddle Dees appear in these titles. They behave much like the normal ones, but carry a spear ahead of themselves when walking, which will cause Kirby or [[Prince Fluff]] to lose [[bead]]s if they touch the tip. The spear can be grabbed using the [[Yarn Whip]] and wrapped up into an arrow-shaped [[yarn ball]] which can penetrate through enemies when thrown. In [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]], Spear Waddle Dees can be found both in the main game and in [[Slash & Bead - Stage 2|Stage 2]] of the [[Sub-Game]] [[Slash & Bead]].

In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', there are similar [[Waddle Dee (anime character)|Waddle Dees]] that carry spears and act on [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]]'s behalf as his soldiers or castle guards. These spear-wielding Waddle Dees can be sometimes seen rallying in very large numbers, with their most prominent appearances being in episodes like [[Waddle While You Work]] and [[Hunger Struck]]. However, as with most Waddle Dees in general, they are not exactly skilled fighters. Eventually, they would go on to influence the appearance of Spear Waddle Dees in the games, with their most analogous game appearance as guards of [[Castle Dedede]] being in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'''s [[Revenge of the King]].

==Notable Spear-wielding Waddle Dees==
While this article mainly serves to cover standard Waddle Dees carrying spears, there are a number of other more notable Waddle Dees who are known for their spear wielding. These are as follows:
*[[Bandana Waddle Dee]] - Perhaps the most well-known individual Waddle Dee in the series uses a spear as his primary weapon. He can perform all of the same moves as [[Spear]] Kirby and also possesses an [[Infinity Jump]].
*[[Soldier Waddle Dee]] - These special NPCs appear in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' as enemy combatants in [[Dedede's Cake Royale]]. Several of them have a fair amount of dialogue in the story proper.
*[[Colossal Spear Waddle Dee]] - This large Spear Waddle Dee appears as a reoccurring [[boss]] in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''.

This article is about Waddle Dees who wield a spear. For Waddle Dees in a general context, see Waddle Dee.

Spear Waddle Dees are a spear-wielding variant of Waddle Dees encountered throughout the Kirby series, first appearing in Kirby: Canvas Curse. Spear Waddle Dees may appear to either not do much with their spear (instead having a longer reach to hit the player) or make use of it greatly as a melee or throwable weapon in some games where they appear. So far, Spear Waddle Dees grant no ability when swallowed, as they currently do not appear as enemies in games where the Spear ability is available.
