Red Viper

Red Viper (Akamamuji in Japan) is a muscular monster hired by King Dedede to clobber Kirby. Red Viper was at an advantage during the battle because Kirby was weak from one of Dedede's energy drinks (which actually weakened anyone who drank it) and was even able to give Kirby a run for his money because of it. His attacks include using his tail as a whip, eating his foes whole, and simply punching them. Luckily for Kirby, Chef Kawasaki was able to help him regain his strength with some homemade stew. With his energy back, Kirby grabs him by the tail, and slams him around town. After pummeling Red Viper for a bit, Kirby hops on his Warp Star and heads up into space. Red viper tries to attack Kirby mid-flight in an attempt to free himself, but Kirby evades him, and Red Viper accidentally punches his tail instead. Kirby continues far into space, twirls Red Viper around and hurls the muscular snake into the sun, destroying him.

Physical Appearance
Red Viper is an extremely muscular, limbed snake. His body is a large sphere with arms and a tail at the end. He wears a pair of red sunglasses and a red muscle shirt. He has a bright green underbelly and a light-brown snout. He has the number eight tattooed on both his biceps and the top of his head, and has a crimson marking running across his back. He growls and hisses like a normal snake would, but is also shown to whimper after being injured.
