Bronto Burt

Bronto Burts are basic flying enemies which appear in numerous Kirby games, and they first appear in Kirby's Dream Land. In most of their appearances, Bronto Burts are very common enemies, as they appear in many stages. Bronto Burts have a spherical pink body, a pair of four fly-like wings, an angry face, and round feet varying between either yellow, brown, or orange depending on the game.

Bronto Burts fly in the skies, often in groups, and move in either a zigzag formation or up and down in a vertical line. Some Bronto Burts sit on the ground, waiting for Kirby to approach, before taking off into the sky and flying straight forward in Kirby's direction. Bronto Burts have no specific means of attack, although if Kirby touches a Bronto Burt, he takes damage. Bronto Burts do not yield any Copy Ability upon being swallowed.

 * Nintendo Power issue 39 (page 48): "This flying pest can be a threat if he gets too close. We're confused as to why he's named Bronto because he doesn't look anything like a brontosaurus."

 * Prima's Official Strategy Guide (page 7): "These insect-like critters either fly toward you from a distance or try to block your path. They don't have an attack aside from flying up and down in your way."
