Dahl

Dahl (ダル, Daru), also known as Dall and Blockhead, is a recurring enemy in the Bomberman series. It is a red barrel.
==Description==
===Bomberman (NES)===
Dahl appears first in the NES version of Bomberman. It debuts in stage 3, after the Onils, and appears frequently in stages onward. It moves at a slightly fast speed, equal to the the speed of Onil, with a bouncy animation. Dahls are not smart and seem at times to be even less intelligent than Balloms as they won't try to chase Bomberman, preferring to move from the left to right, sometimes switching to up and down. They commonly get stuck in walls. Dahls are associated with the Speed-Up power-up, and as such will spawn when the stage Exit containing the power-up is bombed, or when the power-up is destroyed. As this power-up is only found in stage 4, it can be easily missed by players. They take 1 hit to defeat and yield a score of 400 points.

==Trivia==
*Dahl appears as a nonogram picture in Pixel Puzzle Collection.
*An enemy Tarun, appears in Bomberman Hero, and shares a very similar but different appearance to Dahl, although its behavior is different.
**Fittingly, Taru (たる) means "barrel" in Japanese, implying that their name is a variation of that term.
