“ | The little one? That's Rabiroo. The big one? That's Orabiroo. The O is for, "OH my gosh, look at how high they can jump!" Try not to be under one when they land. Their fellow critters like to pet them because they're so fluffy. (Don't touch the tail. They hate that.) | ” | — Figure description for "Rabiroo & Orabiroo" from Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Rabiroo is a light blue rabbit-like enemy and member of the Beast Pack with long ear-like appendages stemming from its snout, having made its first appearance in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It tends to either sit in place or hop up and down continuously until it spots Kirby, from there hopping after him, hoping to attack by collision. Rabiroo is not particularly quick or threatening, can be easily defeated by Kirby's inhale or another attack, and is worth one Star Coin on defeat. Rabiroo grants no ability if swallowed.
Rabiroo's name is likely a portmanteau of the words "rabbit" and "kangaroo"; both being animals stereotypically known for hopping.
Rabiroo has a larger and more dangerous cousin named Orabiroo, which it shares its figure with.
