Tick is a recurring enemy debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Its appearance is that of a white blob with a pair of big, round eyes, a smiling mouth and an extendable red spike atop its head. Its facial expression changes depending on what it is doing, being able to switch from friendly to malicious and back again.
Ticks walk around harmlessly at first, but stop and attempt to stab Kirby when he is above them. Inhaling and swallowing them awards Kirby the Needle ability.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby's Dream Land 3[edit]
Tick makes its debut appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Here, its basic look and behavior was established.
Tick performs a special role in the Jumping Sub-Game. It will jab Kirby if he lands on the wrong space, forcing the end of the game.

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]
Tick returns in Kirby: Canvas Curse, with a similar look and attack strategy as it had in Kirby's Dream Land 3. It is a fairly uncommon enemy, and can be easily bested by tapping it with the Nintendo DS stylus before running into it with Kirby to gain the Needle ability.
In this game, Tick has a different design. Its body is beige instead of white, and its mouth is not visible, except when defeated.

In Kirby: Canvas Curse's main game, Tick appears only in the Neo Greo stage Dreamy Darkness.
