The arms are stubby, and its legs are thin and red. It has a similar appearance to Togezo, even though Togezo gives Kirby Needle.He is known to be a burning turkey

Efrite attacks by becoming a fireball with tightly closed eyes and spikes. It can burn Kirby if it hits him. When Efrite hits the wall, stars fall from him. This creature's attack is similar to Boboo's attack.

Trivia

 * Efrite's name comes from the name Ifrit, which was the original name of a spirit from Arabian mythology that was a Djinn or a Genie. They are often associated with fire, which explains why Efrite has the Burning ability.
