Popon

Popon is a tall towering Demon beast/Monster, which is able to regenerate and hurl balls that explode on contact in to acidic goop. It might actually be a tower of zebon. It's appearence in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! was in the disguise of Oosaka, where it took the guise of Chef Kawasaki's teacher and tried to eat Kirby. After Kawasaki foiled this plot, however, 'Oosaka' took his real form of Popon, and attacked.

Appearence (anime)

Popon is a towering Demon Beast that is made up of light green balls, all of them merged together in a row. It has no mout (although it can speak), but has two googly eye style eyes. It can hurl these globs, and the moment one leaves it's body, another is formed.

Point in plot (anime)

Popon took the disguise of Oosaka, Chef Kawasaki's old teacher. When news spread that Oosaka was arriving, Kawasaki went bonkers trying to prepare, while Escargoon and King Dedede hatched a plot to switch the legendary ingredient, Zebon with an image of Kirby to fool Kawasaki. The Chef discovered the book, and promptly attempted to Cook Kirby, although he didn't have the heart, as Kirby loved his cooking, and considered Kawasaki his friend. However, Oosaka/Popon wanted to eat Kirby, and flew into a rage when he couldn't. He transformed into popon, and attacked. At first, it seemed that it was useless, as no attack had any affect. However, Kirby inhaled Kawasaki's frying pan and became Cook Kirby he overpowered Popon, and eventually roasted him on the sun. Popon was obviously never seen again.

Trivia

Popon is one of the few Demon Beasts that can talk.

A funny fact is that when the actual Oosaka came to cappy town, he was at first mistaken for Popon again, and was assaulted. It was eventually discovered that he was the real deal, and he was released from attack...although not before he was delivered a good beating.
