Tookey (Cluck in Kirby's Pinball Land) 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 appears as a replacement for Twizzy in Kirby's Dream Land's Extra Game. Tookey behaves similarly to Twizzy, 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.
Kirby Mass Attack
Tookey makes a small cameo in Kirby Brawlball where they will sometimes fly around the stage followed by two Twizzys. They will give points to Kirby if he hits them. The fact that Tookey is accompanied by the Twizzys hints that they are younger counterparts of Tookey.
Etymology
Tookey's name is a corruption of turkey, a bird animal. Interestingly, Tookey resembles a chicken rather than a turkey.
