Full name	Tookey

Tookey is a chicken-like enemy found in the Kirby series. It is often featured alongside the chick enemy Twizzy which seems to imply that Tookey is a grown-up Twizzy or otherwise related.

A character in Kirby's Dream Land 3, named Keko, looks similar to Tookey.

Physical Appearance

Tookey resembles a chicken with white feathers, a yellow beak, and a red wattle and comb; but has no feet (or at least no visible ones).

Games

Kirby's Dream Land

Tookey first appearing as a replacement for Twizzy in Kirby's Dream Land's Extra Game. Tookey also behaves similarly, with the exception that Tookey is often faster, does two vitality of damage instead of one, and homes in on Kirby more often. The ones that rest on the ground fly in a half circle pattern surprising anyone that expects Twizzy's weak hop.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra

In Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra, Tookeys are often found in the same area as Twizzys, instead of replacing them. In this game, their attack pattern is much less aggressive than in Kirby's Dream Land. Additionally, in the sub-game Revenge of the King, Tookeys are replaced with Cawcun, a pelican-like foe.

Name origin

Tookey's name is a corruption of turkey, a flightless bird animal. Interestingly, Tookey resembles a chicken rather than a turkey.
