Dale

Dale is a teal-colored lizard enemy that is currently exclusive to Kirby Air Ride. Although enemies, Dales often aid the player by lighting dim areas of the racecourses. Although due to their (often) large size they are also potential roadblocks. They are strange, bioluminescent creatures found in poorly lit areas, come in different sizes, and are often spotted in small groups. After being destroyed, strange glowing orbs of light rise to the sky and take the Dale's place by continuing to light the area.

Although Dale only physically appears in Air Ride, Paint Roller draws a picture of one in Kirby Canvas Curse. Dale is also slated to appear as a common enemy in Kirby Wii.

Physical Appearance
Dale has dark teal skin, a pointy little tail, and small gold feet. He has a large glowing membrane which constantly radiates light, and also leaves behind glowing orbs once Dale is defeated. Dale also has piercing gold eyes and always seems to be tapping his foot.
