Propeller

"Propellers are ice enemies that attack by chasing Kirby. Attack them before they get too close."

- Description

Propeller (also known as Propeller Bomb) is a regular enemy that first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 2. They gave no Copy Ability when inhaled until their appearance in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, where they gave the Ice ability.

Physical Appearance
Propeller appears to be a black raindrop-shaped enemy with a silver propeller, an evil grin, and two angry eyes.

Kirby's Dream Land 2
In Kirby's Dream Land 2, if Kirby has an animal friend with him when he approaches a Propeller, it gets angry and tries to chase him. If it touches Kirby outside of invincibility frames, it will self-destruct which will cause Kirby to instantly lose his animal friend. However, if it fails to do this for a while, it will stop and fly forwards off-screen. It will also explode on its own if it is hit with projectiles enough. They are known as Propeller Bombs in this game.

Kirby's Dream Land 3
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Propellers are much different than in the past game. They hatch from eggs, can be inhaled, and come in different colors: yellow, blue, brown, black, and red. Whether they chase Kirby or Gooey at a high speed depends on which color hatches out of the egg. Also, after they've chased one of them for a lengthened amount of time, they fly upwards out of view rather than forward.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the Propeller changes almost entirely. Its color is a darkish purple, and on its face is a happy expression, which doesn't change. In this game, it no longer hatches from eggs. If Kirby has a copy ability, it will chase him when he approaches. Otherwise, it will float in place. If Kirby inhales a Propeller and holds it above his head, it will fly up for a bit, and then pop. The Propeller now gives the Ice ability when inhaled.
