Spookstep is a ghostly enemy that debuted in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It looks somewhat like a ghostly version of Waddle Dee, but it has a much creepier face with only one eye and a gaping mouth. It raises its arms up in a stereotypical monster manner when it runs after Kirby. It yields no Copy Ability if inhaled.
