Large enemies are a class of regular enemies appearing in many games in the Kirby series. They are slightly larger than normal regular enemies and (usually) have more health. There are certain characteristics that differentiate from other regular enemies. These are:
- They can only be inhaled with a Super Inhale or cannot be inhaled at all.
- They are immune to slides, tackles, and air puffs (Kirby & The Amazing Mirror only)
- They have a lot of health (excluding Big Waddle Dee, which is as sturdy as a regular Waddle Dee, thus taking a few hits to defeat.)
