Tedhaun is a mid-boss in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Squeak Squad. It gives the Ghost ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance[]

Tedhaun is a large gray ghost (with purple tint in-game). It has a single eye and wears a malicious grin on its face. A plum-colored wizard's hat with a dark purple star in the middle sits atop the ghost's head.

Games[]

Kirby: Squeak Squad[]

Tedhaun cannot be encountered unless the Ghost Medal is assembled, the pieces of which must be found in various Treasure Chests. Once the Ghost Medal is completed, Tedhaun will be summoned and replace the following mid-bosses.

Tedhaun is the only source of the Ghost ability, besides performing a default Mix of double Sleep or using the Ability bubble in the Secret Area after finding all the Secret Map pieces. It is also the only mid-boss in the series that must be unlocked before it can be fought.

Tedhaun doesn't attack directly, but it can create and manipulate Capers that circle and follow it, which can be inhaled and used as ammo against it. It can also immobilize Kirby by grabbing onto him and have a Caper come and charge into him.

Etymology[]

Tedhaun's name is an anagram of the word "haunted" (specifically the first and last syllables switched). This is also true of its Japanese name, テッドホーン (Teddohōn), which is an anagram of ホーンテッド (Hōnteddo); however, since it has three syllables, simply the first syllable was moved to the end.

Trivia[]

  • Tedhaun can be encountered before the game is over, as the Ghost Medal can be finished in Stage 2 of Gamble Galaxy.
