Noddy

Noddy are a common regular enemy type in Kirby's game series.

Noddy is a round, sleepy foe. Its body is roughly spherical, often flattened as it lays down. It wears a sleeping cap with polka dots on its head with a trim around the base and ball at the end. It has large eyes, which are usually closed in rest, and a mouth on the front of it. It has two round feet but no arms. It also bears a strong resemblance to Marx.

It's better to spit these enemies out at other enemies, as it bestows the Sleep ability onto Kirby (But if you have the Copy Scroll, swallow them when no potential threat is around).

Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Noddy does very little and less to be construed as a threat. It takes a few steps in either direction before dozing off into a sleep. After a while, it may awaken to repeat the process. It has neither any attacks nor any means to damage Kirby outside of direct contact.

When swallowed, it gives the Sleep copy ability. Giving this ability is the most dangerous aspect of Noddy.

Noddy also appears in the Grape Garden Museum alongside Bubbles.

Other Games
Noddy returns in later titles with the same simplistic behavior, walking before sleeping, and still offering the Sleep ability.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Nodi featured in two episodes. In The Pillow Case Nodi were inside the pillows that the Cappies received from King Dedede, they induced nightmares about Kirby into anyone who slept with one. Meta Knight destroyed all the pillows, revealing the Nodi inside. The Nodi ran away and were never really seen again.

In Flower Power Dedede convinced Kirby to eat a Nodi that he brought with him (possibly captured from the previous Nodi encounter). Kirby does so and falls asleep. Tiff, Tuff, Meta Knight, Fololo and Falala set out to find the Pukey Flower to wake him up. It's said that eating Nodi would force Kirby to sleep for about 100 years (as opposed to the five or so seconds in the video games).
