Kirby's Species

Kirby's species, or Kirbies, are a sapient balloon-like race of inhabitants of the Planet Pop Star.

Behavior
Most of them love lounging and are laid-back.

Biology
It is difficult to judge what the species biology is because a lot of traits appear to be exclusive to certain members. Universal among all of Kirby's species, there are spherical in shape, have 2 hands (either with a finger or no fingers.), 2 oval feet, and are very short, only being around 8 inches tall. All members of Kirby's species posse some form of flight being able either puff up like a balloon or having wings of some kind. These wings vary from bat like wings, Angel wings, and butterfly like wings. Colors of Kirby's Species range from Pink,Green,Blue,Dark Blue,Red,Yellow,White,Black,Purple,Grey, And Orange.

Some members of Kirby's species have been shown able to inhale other objects, including living ones. Kirby's with this ability can either spit out a star ,varying in size depending on how big the object they inhaled was. Or absorb the objects ability (E.i if the Kirby absorbs a sword they will gain the sword ability.). Kirbys with this ability can eat as much as they want without getting full. This inhale ability has a limit as if the object is too big or if the ability will not work. If used for too long the Kirby will get tired. It is unknown if all of Kirby's species has this ability as some characters like Meta Knight appear slightly different and have never been seen using this ability.

All known members of Kirby's species have strength and durability far greater than any human. Most notably, Galacta Knight as been confirmed to be able to destroy planets and Kirby and Meta Knight can both beat him in combat. Dark Meta Knight, Keeby, And Shadow Kirby have all shown to be comparable to Meta Knight and Kirby. Thieve also all shown to be able to move faster than light as some bosses have laser based attacks and all members can either dodge the attacks or keep up with Kirby himself. Some members of Kirby's Species can either survive extended periods without oxygen or do not require it at all. Kirby and Meta Knight have both been underwater and in space for long periods of time without breathing apparatuses.

Kirby's species posses the ability to speak. Oddly Kirby himself has never been seen speaking. Its unknown if he just doesn't know how or is simply never seen speaking but is able to.

In the anime which is non cannon to the games not much as changed about Kirby's species. The most notable difference is they are not native from Popstar but created to fight against N M E (Nightmare in the games.). Kirby's species has a very long lifespan. Kirby is 200 and considered a baby. Meta Knight is centuries years older than Kirby and still in fighting shape. Kirby's species is also severally endangered with Meta Knight and Kirby himself being the only known surviving members.

In both the anime and games it is unknown if Kirby's Species can occur naturally. All times a member of Kirby's species has been created in the games it was either cloned or a offshoot from Kirby. In the anime they were all created to fight N M E and it is unknown if the species has reproductive capabilities.

Technology
Due to popstar containing numerous advanced civilization it is hard to pin point what technology is invented by Kirby species or reversed engineered from another race. However 2 technology's used by Kirby's species but not by any other on popstar are cellphones and spaceships.

Kirby's species cellular technology appears to very similar to that of phones from the 90s with a stick with a star on top to gather reception. There phones can be used to either call other people or there space ships such as Kirby's warpstar.

Kirby's species space technology is advanced. They also double as aerospace technology as it they be flown safely in a planets atmosphere. They are 2 types of spaceships ,small transport ships like the warpstar, or large battle ships like the halberd. Small ships can transport a maximum of atleast 4 people across great distances. Large ships can contain massive crews and posse weaponry that can easily take out smaller ships. They have several components to them all of which must be the destroyed to crash the ship. Both kinds of ship can go faster than light.

Kirby
Kirby is a round pink Kirby and the main character of the franchise. In the games, he is native to the kingdom of Dreamland. He sucks enemies into his mouth to gain a copy ability, which allow him to fight. He protects Dreamland, Popstar, and occasionally the galaxy, from all kinds of harm.

Kirby also stars in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, an anime that debuted in Japan and was released in America by 4kids. In the anime, he is portrayed as one of the last Star Warriors. His Warp Star crashed in Dreamland. He is supposed to defeat Nightmare from taking over the universe. The anime is considered non-canon to the video games.

Lord Meta Knight
Meta Knight is (presumably) a dark blue Kirby and the leader of the Meta-Knights. In the games he is a rather enigmatic character. His motives are mostly unknown until after Kirby battles him. He owns a giant warship called Battleship Halberd. In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Meta Knight used the Halberd to try and take over Dreamland by force, ending its lazy lifestyle for good. Kirby defeated him, however. He always wears a silver mask, and he only appears without it when he is defeated and Kirby knocks it off. In the anime, Meta Knight is a Star Warrior and is a servant to King Dedede, although he criticises Dreamland's greedy dictator openly. He is a sort of mentor to Kirby, but only helps him out when he knows Kirby is outmatched. In the anime, the Halberd is used to try and defeat Nightmare.

Keeby
Keeby is a yellow Kirby and Kirby's friend. He only appears in the video games, and is rather clumsy. He first appeared in Kirby's Dream Course. In two-player mode, the 2nd player automatically shows up as Keeby. Keeby was probably created because in the making of the first Kirby video game, there was an argument about whether he should be pink or yellow.

Shadow Kirby
He is a shadow clone of Kirby from the Mirror World. He first appeared in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. He never appeared in the anime. He fights Kirby at first because he's trying to protect his homeworld, but they later team up to save the Mirror World from Dark Mind. He later appears in the Kirby Triple Deluxe sub game Kirby fighters as a boss. He also appears in Kirby Fighters Deluxe as a playable character. His latest appearance is in Kirby Fighters 2 where he serves as a boss. His motive in that game is playing a prank on Kirby.

Galacta Knight
Galacta Knight once was the best Warrior in the Galaxy, until Meta Knight defeated him. Galacta Knight was imprisoned long time ago because everybody was afraid of his power. It's unknown if he is a Kirby, but he looks similar to Meta Knight, who is one. He only appeared in the games.

Dark Meta Knight
Dark Meta Knight is an evil shadow clone of Meta Knight produced by Dark Mind. He fought against Kirby and Meta Knight several times. He first appeared in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. He never appeared in the anime. He later appears in the Triple Deluxe sub game dededetour as a boss. His latest appearance is in Kirby Star Allies as a playable character.

Meta Knights
The Meta Knights, who are led by Sir Meta Knight, are a group of Knights who travel in Battleship Halberd. They once tried to conquer Dreamland. Two of the Meta Knights seem to be Poyo, Axe Knight and Trident Knight. However, it is unknown if they really are.
