Degout

Degout is an enemy that appears only in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is a floating robotic foe resembling a knight's helmet with a single glaring red eye. Like Mumbies, Degouts cannot be inhaled and only attack Kirby when his back is turned, but the main difference with these is their tremendous amount of health. A single Degout can take a lot of damage before being defeated, so it is recommended to use a powerful copy ability on these. There are also red Degouts that only attack when Kirby or one of his teammates is holding a key, who act as a replacement or counterpart, and occasionly teammate to the pink Scarfies.

This enemy appears on Halcandra as the replacement for Mumbies, but also appears on Pop Star in Extra Mode. Degout is first introduced in Egg Engines. It also appears in the Item Challenge.
