Whispy Woods

Whispy Woods (also known simply as Whispy) is a recurring boss in the Kirby series. Whispy is a gigantic tree that is usually immobile and is known for dropping apples on Kirby. He can also blow air puffs and sometimes may even shoot his roots.
Whispy Woods is often regarded as the easiest boss in the Kirby series next to King Golem. This is mostly due to him being the first boss usually in almost every Kirby game and that he is immobile and doesn't really have a variety of attacks.
== Appearances ==
=== Kirby's Dream Land ===
Whispy's first appearance was in Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy. Kirby encountered him at the end of Green Greens. Kirby must inhale his apples that he drops and spit them back at him to damage him. Whispy will also spit out air puffs, which Kirby cant inhale. Whispy then appears at Mt. Dedede where Kirby has to defeat all of the bosses again in order to proceed to King Dedede.

In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Whispy Woods again served as the first boss of the game. He is the boss of Vegetable Valley. He holds a piece of the Star Rod, given to him by King Dedede when Nightmare invades Dream Land. The only difference between the battle from the first game and this is that Kirby may use a copy ability. Also Whispy's pointy nose will no longer damage Kirby.

Whispy once again is the first boss fought in the game. He is fought at the end of Grass Land. He is, howver, fought in two rounds.

Once his mask has fallen off, he'll be able to shoot out air puffs, too.
In the bonus game for world 1, Whispy will shoot out apples and stars. Kirby has to collect the stars but avoid the apples or he loses.

In the minigame Card Swipe, Whispy appears on a card.
=== Kirby's Dream Land 3 ===
Whispy Woods is once again the boss of Grass Land in Kirby's Dream Land 3. This time he has been disturbed by King Dedede's mischief like all the other bosses. This time Whispy spits out various vegetables that Kirby must inhale and spit back at him. If Kirby comes in contact with Whispy's nose, he loses health. Whispy may occasionally shoot out an air puff at Kirby.
After taking four hits from Kirby, Whispy will become angry and mobile. His roots will act as legs and chase Kirby, still spitting out fruit and vegetables in the process. After four more hits, Whispy is defeated.
If Kirby obtains all of the Heart Stars after fighting Whispy the first time, he will be cured of his anger and will no longer attack Kirby if he enters the boss stage again. In Boss Butch, Whispy's arena looks like it takes place in autumn.
=== Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards ===
Whispy Woods is the boss of Pop Star in this game. He is fought in an almost completely new way than Kirby's previous encounters with the gigantic tree. Kirby travels in a circular path with Whispy in the middle. Whispy Wood Jrs. will inhabit the circular path. The regular Whispy will drop apples. After Kirby destroys the three Whispy Wood Jrs., Whispy Wood will become anger.

=== Kirby's Return to Dream Land ===
Whispy Woods appears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, as the boss of Cookie Country. He also has a more difficult version called Whispy Woods EX, which is similar in appearance and purpose to Whispy Woods' Revenge from Kirby Super Star Ultra.
When Kirby enters the level, Whispy is found faceless. Then the tree starts to wiggle and his face forms. During the battle, Whispy reuses his previous methods of attack by dropping apples and puffing out clouds. Once his health gets to a certain point, Whispy will grow in size. During this point of the battle, he can attempt to suck Kirby into his mouth, like a vacuum. If Kirby is sucked in, Whispy will chomp on Kirby as the player has to shake the Wii Remote to become liberated. He can drop different types of enemies from his branches, including Gordos, and much larger apples. Whispy can puff out multiple clouds at once and they separate as they travel further away from the gigantic tree. Once defeated, Whispy will greatly reduce in size. His final size is smaller than the size he started out as. He will have his trademark tear as he relinquishes the part for the Lor Starcutter. 
In the Extra Mode and The True Arena, Whispy Woods EX appears. Like Whispy's Revenge, he has purple leaves instead of green ones though he lacks a much more menacing facial expression. He can puff out tornadoes, drop regular and poisonous apples, and have his roots shoot out of the ground. Once he increases in size, he can attempt to suck up Kirby with apples falling from his branches, and puff out multiple poisonous clouds at once.
