Waddle Doo is an iconic round orange creature with a single large eye often found in many Kirby games. It is most commonly encountered as an enemy, but it can be recruited as a Helper in appropriate games and in some instances is playable. Waddle Doo attacks primarily by firing a beam from its eye, but will otherwise harm Kirby by collision or trying to body-slam him, as seen in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Swallowing a Waddle Doo will typically yield Kirby the Beam ability, and if holding a parasol, it will yield him the Parasol ability.
Waddle Doo bears a very similar physique to Waddle Dee (and Kirby by extension), and can often be found in the same situations as its more down-to-earth cousins. If not distinguished by its eye, it also differs in its color scheme, bearing a more orange-red body hue with orange-yellow feet. Given that Waddle Doo's face consists only of a single giant eye with two thin eyelashes on top, it can only meaningfully communicate its emotions using eye-based expressions such as tears, dilation of its pupil, and movements of its eyelid. Despite this, Waddle Doo is capable of speaking, as evidenced in Kirby Battle Royale and Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
In the SMG4 series, this species makes a few cameo appearances.
