Kibble Blade is a Mid-Boss who debuted in Kirby's Return to Dream Land that yields the Cutter Copy Ability when inhaled. Its attacks are similar to that of its smaller cousin, Sir Kibble, in that it tosses the blade on its head. It can do this in several different patterns. It will also attempt to ram Kirby, much like most of the other Mid-Bosses.
