Games[]
Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[]
Danglerfish only appears in Deep-Dive Deep. Danglerfish attacks Kirby and Prince Fluff by sucking them up; if a Danglerfish manages to, it will spit them out and the heroes will lose beads. If Kirby or Prince Fluff moves away from the Danglerfish after it begins its attack, he will tire and Kirby and Prince Fluff can latch onto the illicium and snap it back at him, defeating him. However, the giant Danglerfish that chase Kirby and Prince Fluff cannot be defeated. Instead, the heroes will need to swim out of their way. Despite being made out of yarn, Danglerfish can inhale a large amount of water even though Kirby loses his ability to inhale due to the inability to contain the inhaled air in yarn form.
Etymology[]
Danglerfish's name is a portmanteau of dangle (referring to its illicium) and anglerfish.
Its Japanese name アンドーラ (Andōra) may be a portmanteau of 行灯/あんどん/あんどう (andon/andō), a kind of paper-covered oil lantern, アンコウ (ankō), the word for anglerfish, angora (a type of wool) and angler.
