	— Cast Description (Me-Devil) • Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn

Devil is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn.

Physical Appearance

Devils are purple yarn demons with a pair of wings, small legs, a frowning mouth, and one button eye, looking very similar to Battins. Three variants exist. The Me-Devil^[1] has a circular body with large, red bat-like wings; a furrowed brow; and a yellow button eye with yarn strands crossing diagnonally. The Ye-Devil^[2] has a diamond-shaped body with large, sharp red wings; a silver drill hat; and a yellow button eye with parallel horizontal yarn strands. The We-Devil^[3] has a triangular body with small, blue bat-like wings; a massive bow; eyelashes; a tail with a heart on the end; and a yellow button eye with yarn strands crossing in vertically and horizontally.

Games

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn

Devil appears exclusively in Devilish Mode. It appears out of an ominous seam or swoops in from off-screen, accompanied by its unique theme. It floats around Kirby and generally cannot be touched, as it moves just out of reach if the hero tries to bump into it. If by chance he does touch the enemy, it may grab him, at which point the player must mash the +Control Pad (or rotate the Circle Pad) to break free and avoid damage.

Devil cannot be grabbed with a Yarn Whip. It is also hydrophobic; if it touches water, it panics and exits the pool; the exception to this is Fossil Reef, which is almost entirely underwater. Devil grins if it successfully hurts the hero, and drags him away if it KOs him. If Kirby damages the creature with a Yarn Ball, his Weight form, or some other attack, it drops beads and retreats for a period of time; it first drops a Star Bead, then 50 beads, then 20 beads, then 5 beads, then 1 bead, and then doesn't drop anymore. The foe interferes during boss battles, but not during Metamortex transformation sequences except those taking place in extra stages.

Each Devil type is different and uses a different means of attack:

The Me-Devil carries a black ball while hovering over Kirby. After lining up his shot, he covers the ball in spikes and drops it straight down.
The Ye-Devil flies behind Kirby with his drill helmet facing forward. After preparation, he darts across the stage horizontally. He then turns around and, after preparation, darts left across the stage. He can block Yarn Balls and other projectiles with his metal cap.
The We-Devil freely flies around, keeping her tail trained on Kirby. After lining up her shot, she fires a sparkly arrow from her tail. She can block Yarn Balls by flailing her tail around her body.

Devil's cackle seems to be a reused audio clip of a Fake Door's laugh in the Nintendo GameCube game Luigi's Mansion, but with no echo effect.^[4]
