Uja

Uja is a shadowy figure only found in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Uja is made up of a gray/black substance, presumed to be smoke or tiny insects, due to a buzzing sound heard when one is near.

Behavior
Uja will appear out of nowhere as a cloud of gray/black substance, pause shortly to assume a form, and start moving towards Kirby. Uja has a predetermined form depending on where it is found in the game.

It can transform into a shadowy hand or into a shadowy sword. If it is in hand form, it will grab Kirby, turn into a black oval, then float away, causing damage. If it is in sword form, it will come near Kirby and stab him with the tip, causing damage as well. Uja gives no ability when inhaled. It has very low health, and can be destroyed in one hit using most Copy Abilities.

Trivia

 * In hand form, the arrangement and behavior of its fingers make it resemble Master Hand.
 * It only appears thrice throughout the game - once as a hand and twice as a sword.
 * Uja also slightly resembles the shadow that took Kirby's Strawberry Shortcake in the opening cutscene.
