The Waddle Dees are largely identical small round creatures with no visible mouth and an anatomy similar to [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]]. They number in the thousands and reside in [[Castle Dedede]], where they act as servants and soldiers. Waddle Dees are portrayed as silent in most of their appearances, though they are capable of vocalizing in certain episodes, such as the Japanese versions of [[A Novel Approach]] and [[Hunger Struck]]. These vocalizations usually take the form of a distinct "wanya" grunt, similarly to Kirby's "poyo," and are treated as a separate language, which [[Captain Waddle Doo]] is able to translate. A more distorted version of this grunt would carry over to in-game appearances of Waddle Dees from ''[[Kirby | The Waddle Dees are largely identical small round creatures with no visible mouth and an anatomy similar to [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]].

While they do not have visible mouths on their faces, Waddle Dees can eat by absorbing food through their faces and then chewing with hidden jaws. While their primary weapon of choice is a spear, they are comfortable wielding others as well, though they are not very skilled at fighting in general. | ||
[[Professor Curio]] explains in [[Pink-Collar Blues]] that Waddle Dees may have originated from across the sea, and that they are naturally inclined to faithfully serve anyone who gives them hospitality, else they run free in the wilderness. The Waddle Dees are simple-minded, and will follow nearly any order given to them by someone who takes care of them, though they generally hesitate if asked to fight anything dangerous. They also tend to have trouble comprehending complex tasks, and generally only get them done when working together in coordinated and directed fashion. They are notably ability-neutral, as when Kirby attempts to [[inhale]] some in [[Hunger Struck]], he ends up merely spitting them back out. | [[Professor Curio]] explains in [[Pink-Collar Blues]] that Waddle Dees may have originated from across the sea, and that they are naturally inclined to faithfully serve anyone who gives them hospitality, else they run free in the wilderness.
