Soarar

"But if you hang on, you'll see one last flock of Soarars. Get what you want from them."

- Daroach

Soarars are dart-like enemies encountered in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby Mass Attack, and Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
This is Soarar's first appearance. They fly back and forth in a particular area. They do not aim for Kirby, however, and are more of a nuisance than an enemy. They shoot pink blasts aimlessly straight forward and then turn with a sharp screeching sound. The blasts travel for an infinite distance.

Kirby: Canvas Curse
In this game, Soarar is technically unchanged, but this time around, their ability to fire lasers is rarely used. They can be summoned by Drawcia in the battle against her.

Kirby Mass Attack
In this game, Soarar changed completely. They are found in some of the fruit fetching games, where they carry cards with pictures of either fruit or a Soarar. If Kirby manages to grab a fruit card, he'll be rewarded with fruit, but if Kirby were to grab a Soarar card, the background will turn red and a variety of Soarars will come to attack Kirby by darting down on him, thus, posing as a threat in the game. Soarar also appears outside the fruit fetching games as a common enemy, starting at Stage 7 of Green Grounds. A Colossal Soarar and baby Soarars are also found in this game.

Etymology
Soarar's name most likely diverges from the word soar, as a reference to its movement. It may also come from the Japanese word for sky, sora.

Trivia

 * During Paint Panic, a Soarar may sometimes appear as one of Paint Roller's paintings.
 * In Kirby Mass Attack, Daroach says that Soarars are attracted to shiny things, such as medals.
