Zebon

Zebon (often called Zeban) is a large, transparent, green sphere with a small, happy face on it. The face consists of two small black eyes and a smile.

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Zebon is not a normal enemy. While it is alive and appears in levels, it causes no damage to Kirby and cannot be destroyed. Its function is similar to that of the Cannon. When Kirby touches Zebon, he is sucked inside and fired out. If a predetermined direction is not set, it rolls its gaze around to fire Kirby in one of eight directions.

Zebon returns for the same purpose in Kirby 64, launching Kirby out in a direction. It is Card #81.

Anime
Zebon never made a real appearance in the anime but made a cameo appearance in episode 11.

In episode 11 of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, The Big Taste Test (Court Chef Kawasaki in the Japanese version), King Dedede finds that a famous food critic, Chef Shiitake, is coming to Castle Dedede, he chooses Chef Kawasaki to impress the critic (since Kawasaki is the only chef in town). When King Dedede finds that all his food tastes terrible and will definitely NOT impress Chef Shiitake, Kawasaki freaks out for not knowing about this and needs help finding a special ingredient to improve his cooking.

While Kawasaki looks for an ingredient, King Dedede buys a cookbook from Nightmare Enterprises and finds it is from Chef Shiitake. He sees an ingredient called Zebon and replaced the picture with Kirby. Chef Kawasaki is fooled by Dedede and tries to cook Kirby.
