Phan Phan

Phan Phan is a mid-boss who replaced Rolling Turtle in its debut in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Physical appearance
Phan Phan is a large gray elephant with 3 strands of hair (similar to a Waddle Doo, but with an additional strand), 2 legs, 2 black eyes, and 2 large floppy ears. Its main body has a huge resemblance to that of an elephant's head.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Phan Phan attacks by rolling up into a ball to propel itself forward or backwards towards Kirby in an attempt to grab him or throw him, similar to Rolling Turtle's attack pattern (while replacing the said mid-boss from Kirby's Adventure). It also attacks by throwing smaller, miniature apples at Kirby, which can be spat back at it. When defeated, Kirby can inhale him to acquire the Throw ability.
