Glunk

"Plant-like creatures, Glunks are found on the ground or on the ceilings of caves. They each fire a pod at Kirby as he passes. Run by them to easily avoid the pods."

- Description

Glunk is a common enemy in the Kirby series that is based off a sea anemone. It stays in place most of the time but sometimes fires projectiles or water into the air. Glunk gives no copy ability because it is usually found underwater. Although Glunks are occasionally found out of water, their population abounds underwater. They are most common in narrow underwater tunnels.

Glunk is one of the few enemies tolerable to water.

In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Glunk will fire rapid shots into the air when carried overhead, protecting Kirby from airborne foes.

Trivia

 * In Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, Glunks may be found attached to ceilings. In Kirby's Dream Land, they will fall from ceilings after Kirby approaches them.
 * In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, four Glunks appear in a mid-boss battle against a giant Blowfish in the fourth stage of Aqua Star.
 * In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Glunk is drawn in Paint Panic.
 * Glunks vaguely resemble bubble-tip anemones, as they are both orange or green. The bubble-tipped tentacles of said creature may also be the inspiration for Glunk's form of attack.
 * In the The Legendary Starfy series, there appears an enemy of the same name that features similarities to the enemy of the Kirby games (such as having a comparable color and stature). Despite the two enemies' similarities, however, they do not bear any other resemblances to one another whatsoever.
 * In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, it is possible to inhale a Glunk's projectiles and use them as ammunition.
 * Both the Prima and BradyGames strategy guides for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards are flawed; the Prima guide describes Glunk as a plant-like creature, while the BradyGames guide describes Glunk as an urchin.
 * In Kirby Super Star, Glunk's projectiles can be reflected with the Mirror ability.
