Stactus

Stactus is a regular enemy appearing in Kirby Mass Attack. It is first seen in Sandy Canyon, being the most common enemy on that world. Stacti are ruled over by Lady Ivy.

Appearance
Stacti look like small, green cacti. They have four droopy needles, a pink flower on top of their head, and small, stubby arms. They always have a smile on their face. Stacti also come in orange and teal variants.

Attacks
The only attack of the Stacti are protruding thorns. Any Kirby that comes in contact with these thorns when deployed will be hurt. However, the Kirbys can still attack the enemy even when its spikes are protruded. There are three main types of Stacti.

The first Stactus is just a lone, green one. They can be defeated without much trouble.

The second type are a stack of Stacti with an orange one on top. Defeating the orange one will automatically kill the rest of the Stacti beneath, but destroying one of the green ones below it will cause the stack to split up into separate enemies. It is much stronger than the green one.

The third and most dangerous type are the teal stacks of Stacti with an orange one on top. These teal Stacti will always have their spikes protruded, meaning that the Kirbys cannot attack them. The only way to defeat these types of Stacti is to defeat the orange one the top.
