'''Whispy Woods''' (known in shorthand as '''Whispy''' or sometimes '''Wispy''', and once referred to as the '''Larkspur Liar'''<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_Super_Game_Boy/page/n55/mode/2up?view=theater Super Game Boy Nintendo Player's Guide]</ref>, and titled '''Guardian of the Forest''' in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''), is an anthropomorphic tree who is most well known as being an early (if not the first) [[boss]] that [[Kirby]] faces in many of his adventures. In his simplest incarnations, he is incapable of moving, and can only attack by dropping [[apple]]s and blowing [[Air Bullet]]s at Kirby, but his sheer number of appearances and variants give him a vide variety of additional attacks, and in some cases, allow him to hop around or even run after his opponents. | '''Whispy Woods''' (known in shorthand as '''Whispy''' or sometimes '''Wispy''', and once referred to as the '''Larkspur Liar'''<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_Super_Game_Boy/page/n55/mode/2up?view=theater Super Game Boy Nintendo Player's Guide]</ref>, and titled '''Guardian of the Forest''' in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''), is an anthropomorphic tree who is most well known as being an early (if not the first) [[boss]] that [[Kirby]] faces in many of his adventures.

His name comes from the words "wispy" (meaning fine, feathery, or delicate), a term often used to describe plants and trees, and "whisper" (meaning to speak softly with one's breath), which reflects the wind-based attacks he utilizes. Because of this, his name is occasionally misspelled as either "Wispy Woods" (as in ''Kirby's Pinball Land'') or "Whisper Woods" (as in ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Nintendo 64). | His name comes from the words "wispy" (meaning fine, feathery, or delicate), a term often used to describe plants and trees, and "whisper" (meaning to speak softly with one's breath), which reflects the wind-based attacks he utilizes.
