Hunter Scarfy

Hunter Scarfy is an enemy in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It is a salmon-colored variant of Scarfy that turns red in its mutant form. Like its cousin, it cannot be inhaled.

Hunter Scarfy only transforms into its mutant form when Kirby grabs a nearby key. It will chase him until he drops the key or uses the key to open a door. After the latter happens, the enemy returns to its normal state. It cannot explode. In Extra Mode, more Hunter Scarfys appear than in the Main Mode.

Like ordinary Scarfys in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Hunter Scarfys can chase Kirby from the background to the foreground (or vice-versa) if he switches planes with a 3D Warpstar.
