N-Z

N-Zs are common enemies that appear in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. They replace Waddle Dees because the single Waddle Dee that appears in that game is one of Kirby's friends. N-Zs are just as easy to defeat as the Waddle Dees in other games.

N-Zs are dark gray balls with round black eyes, pointy bunny-like ears, and white shoes. They give no copy abilities when eaten. A bigger version of an N-Z is found in Level 1-1 as a mini-boss, just before the fight with a Dark Matter-posessed Waddle Dee.
