Foorlowber is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. They are only found in haunted stages.

Physical Appearance

Foorlowbers are ghost-like enemies that have round, periwinkle bodies with stubby arms and a stubby tail. They have a raspberry, skull-looking mask for a face and they have menacing, yellow eyes.

Games

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Foorlowber appears out of thin air and chases Kirby; if he runs far enough, the ghost will quit pursuing him and vanish. Most Foorlowbers will simply hover in place, or actively chase Kirby when he enters in close proximity to them. Certain Foorlowbers are invisible and can only be seen by their reflections in a Truth Mirror.

Kirby Battle Royale

Foorlowbers make a cameo appearance as spectators in Coin Clash.

Etymology

The Japanese フワローバ (Fuwarōba) is composed of the following. 「フワ」 (fuwa) is derived from the onomatopoeia 「フワフワ」 (fuwafuwa), which describes something light or airy. 「ローバ」 (rōba) has no obvious meaning but may loosely refer to Sphere Doomer, a floating spectral creature from Kirby's Return to Dream Land known as Sphere Lowper (スフィアローパー) in Japanese, or possibly the English words "robe" (ローブ) or "rover" (ローバー). "Foorlowber" is HAL's transliteration from the game data of Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Trivia

Unlike the Ace Foorlowber and King Foorlowber, Foorlowbers have no visible mouths.
