Snapper

Gobbler Jr. is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It yields the Sword ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance
Gobbler Jr. is a small red shark head. It has a white underbelly, a blade-like dorsal fin, a constant smirk, and glaring eyes with black scleras. It lacks other fins, a tail, and gills.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Gobbler Jr. is a minion of the boss of Olive Ocean, Gobbler. The shark can summon up to three of this enemy by rapidly opening and closing his mouth. Gobbler Jrs. hover behind their master in an L-formation but are constantly in motion. When their master darts across the screen, they slowly follow him, moving somewhat unpredictably through the water. Due to Gobbler's default positions on the left or right edge of the screen, Gobbler Jrs. often hover partially or entirely off-screen; as a result, one or more of them may vanish altogether when the boss moves around.

Gobbler sends his Gobbler Jrs. out to attack by moving his jaw three times. The enemies move in specific patterns: The first pursues Kirby but cannot leave the water, the second jumps out of the water and over the middle platform, and the third behaves like the first. Gobbler Jr. bites Kirby if it successfully hits him (unless Kirby is out of the water, in which case the foe simply crashes into him). If a Gobbler Jr. misses Kirby, it often swims off-screen and disappears. It should be noted that the enemies do not always obey Gobbler, sometimes hanging back when called to attack or repeating the same attack pattern multiple times in a row.

Gobbler Jr. can be defeated with a single inhale or three hits from Kirby's Water Gun attack. The foe's Copy Ability, Sword, is especially effective against Gobbler, as it is one of the few that can be used underwater.
