Mopoo is an enemy found in Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake. It is found in mainly cloudy and snowy levels in the games, like Shiver Star or White Wafers. It yields no Copy Ability when inhaled by Kirby.

Mopoo resembles a spherical snowy cloud with a smiling face. It appears for only a brief moment from a snowy fumarole, either traveling in a straight direction, or in an arc until it leaves the area or collides with another surface, upon which it will vanish. It can hurt Kirby by contact, but this will also result in the Mopoo being defeated. Mopoo will continually erupt from snowy fumaroles, usually at the rate of every few seconds or so.
