Noddy

''This article is about the species. For the character of the same name, go here.''

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's better to spit these enemies out at other enemies, as it bestows the Sleep ability onto Kirby.

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 no attacks and 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.

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

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