Zebon is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Dream Land 3 . It cannot be inhaled, nor can it be defeated, but it is useful, being able to launch Kirby like a cannon in either a set direction or any direction.
Physical Appearance[ ]
Zebon is a large, transparent, green sphere with a small, happy face on it. Its face consists of two beady black eyes and a smile.
In games[ ]
In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Zebon is not a normal enemy in that he causes no damage to Kirby and cannot be defeated. His function is similar to that of the Cannon. When Kirby touches Zebon, he is sucked inside and fired out. If a predetermined direction is not set, he rolls his gaze around to fire Kirby in one of eight directions.
Zebon returns for the same purpose in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards , launching Kirby out in a direction.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya! [ ]
Zebon's cameo in The Big Taste Test.
Zebon never made a physical appearance in the anime but it did make a cameo appearance in episode 11.
In episode 11 of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, The Big Taste Test, King Dedede finds that a famous food critic, Chef Shiitake, is coming to Castle Dedede. As a result, he chooses Chef Kawasaki to impress the critic, as Kawasaki is the only chef in town. When King Dedede finds that Kawasaki's food tastes terrible and will not impress Chef Shiitake, Kawasaki panics and desperately searches for a special ingredient to improve his cooking.
While Kawasaki looks for an ingredient, King Dedede buys a cookbook from Nightmare Enterprises and finds that it was published by Chef Shiitake. Dedede sees an ingredient called Zebon and, noticing that the picture looks a lot like Kirby, covers the image with a sticker of the pink puff. Chef Kawasaki is fooled by Dedede's trick and tries to cook Kirby in hopes of obtaining Zebon. However, Meta Knight is not fooled, tearing the sticker off.
Trivia[ ]
