====Attacks====
===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
Waiu has four attacks, utilizing its ninjutsu skills. Of all the Mid-Bosses in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', Waiu has the most intricate attacks.
[[File:KDL2Waiu.png]]Waiu first appears in Stage 2 of [[Red Canyon]].
<br><small>*Attack names are conjectural</small>


Waiu fights using boomerang-like implements which can be [[Inhaling|inhaled]] and spat back, but only after they've hit the wall. He also throws smoke bombs which rise into the air, and performs rising kicks. He can also vanish, creating an illusion of himself shimmering in the air before landing. Of all the Mid-Bosses in ''Dream Land 2'', Waiu has the most intricate attacks.

While Waiu itself does not appear in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', it, along with [[Kracko]] and [[Ice Dragon]], can be painted by '''Adeleine & Ribbon''' in the [[Dream Friend]]'s move - '''Ado's Painter'''.
The Waiu replica can use all of its moves from ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'' except the rising kick. Like the paint Kracko and Ice Dragon, the Waiu replica only has 1 HP and can be destroyed by one hit. In addition, the Waiu replica cannot jump infinitely or [[hover]] at all.
