— King Dedede • Kirby: Right Back at Ya! |
Drifter (called Floaty the Drifter in Kirby's Dream Land 2) is an enemy from the Kirby series. He is a parasol-like being with a single eye. Waddle Dees are sometimes seen drifting down from above holding them. Once they're let go of, they chase Kirby until they explode. They grant Kirby the Parasol ability when eaten, regardless of if they are in the hands of another enemy or not.
To date, Drifter has only made two appearances in the series: Kirby's Dream Land 2 and in the anime. In both appearances, Drifters are portrayed as weak but can be bothersome in large numbers.
Drifters seem to be vaguely based on the Kasa-obake, a Japanese spirit resembling an umbrella with one eye.

Unlike their normal parasol counterparts, Drifters possess green fabric (as seen in official art and the anime) as opposed to the regular white and red sections of the plain parasols, and have purple handles.

They can soar through the air and attack primarily by enclosing themselves around their victims, suffocating them. When the Drifters get out of hand, Kirby inhales several of them to become Parasol Kirby. Kirby is able to destroy the majority of the remaining umbrella-like foes. King Dedede grabs the last one and prepares to joust Kirby, but he is grabbed by Kirby's Circus Throw and thrown up into the air. The fireworks from the party destroy Drifter and burn it away completely, causing Dedede to fall back to the ground.
