'''Wapod''' is a type of enemy debuting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', where it is first encountered in the second stage of [[Sand Canyon]]. It resembles a ghostly [[Waddle Dee]], which is brighter than a regular one and possesses a tail-like extension at the bottom instead of feet. It resides in a tall, brown vase, painted with a pattern of red and white triangles near its base.

'''Wapod''' is a type of enemy debuting in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It resembles a ghostly [[Waddle Dee]], which is brighter than a regular one and possesses a tail-like extension at the bottom instead of feet. It resides in a tall, brown vase, painted with a pattern of red and white triangles near its base.


As soon as [[Kirby]] approaches a vase, the Wapod dwelling inside rises up from it, stopping in midair once it reaches a certain altitude, which differs for individual specimens. The Wapod does not move or attack after it has reached its highest point, but both the spirit and the vase it lives in may harm Kirby if he bumps into either. Defeating a Wapod by using any attack or inhaling it immediately causes a new one to materialize from its container. The only way to eliminate it permanently is to destroy the jar, which is likewise vulnerable to any attack and does not respawn until Kirby leaves and re-enters the room, alongside its inhabitant. Wapods yield no [[Copy Ability|abilities]].

==Game appearances==
Wapods return in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. They appear essentially identical to their ''Dream Land 3'' counterparts except for a lack of arms. Instead of rising up from their jar to a certain altitude, Wapods continue to rise indefinitely, forming a slow, constant stream of enemies exiting the vase.
===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
Wapod makes its first appearance in this title, first appearing in [[Sand Canyon - Stage 2|Stage 2 of]] [[Sand Canyon]]. Wapods in this game are largely a novelty enemy, though they can appear in somewhat large numbers.

After many years of absence from the ''Kirby'' series, Wapods return in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. They appear essentially identical to their ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' counterparts except for a lack of arms. Some Wapods rise up from their jar to a certain altitude, other Wapods continue to rise indefinitely, forming a slow, constant stream of enemies exiting the vase.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
While not appearing as a proper enemy in this game, Wapod makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' as a [[Keychain]], represented by its sprites in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3.''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Wapods may be based on the concept of a [[wikipedia:Genie|Genie]] in a bottle.
