“	Nearby there was a creature with a 10 on its head, however. That creature was near a mighty suspicious door...”
	— Daroach • Kirby Mass Attack

Stunake is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Mass Attack.

Physical Appearance

Stunake is a large serpent enemy with giant shiny eyes, a tiny mouth, a white underbelly, and a purple body with a curly tail. It has a long red tongue with the end of the tongue being circular. One particular Stunake is yellow and has a pink "10" on its forehead.

Games

Kirby Mass Attack

Stunake appears exclusively in Stage 5 of Dedede Resort. It does not harm the Kirbys in any way, but rather blocks a door while constantly staring at the Kirbys. To defeat the creature, the heroes must swim around it several times to make it dizzy. Stunake then passes out and sticks out its tongue, allowing the Kirbys to grab it. After succeeding at a button-tapping sequence, they yank the enemy out of the entrance. Failing to take out the enemy will go and shake the Kirbys off it and it goes back to looking around.

A single yellow Stunake is more formidable, requiring ten Kirbys to yank it out of the door.
