| “ | An eight-armed Avalanche for you then, Kirby!” |
| —Squishy •Kirby's Avalanche |
Squishies are squid-like enemies that have been around since the first Kirby game. They provide no ability when inhaled and swallowed.
Although Squishy is a regular enemy in most cases, Squishy is actually a staple in most spin-offs, such as Kirby's Avalanche. Squishy featured as the boss of the second level in Kirby's Block Ball. Here, it was able to extend its tentacles, a technique which it would later use as a monster in the anime. In the Extra Game of Kirby's Dream Land, Squishy is replaced byFlotzo.
