| “ | This head cold monster is extremely tiny. The price, however, is extremely large... but if you don't want a cold...” |
| — N.M.E. Sales Guy • Something to Sneeze At |
Head Cold Monsters are small, microscopic monsters appearing in the episode Something to Sneeze At in the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
Physical Appearance[]
Head Cold Monsters, as their Japanese name suggests, are purple spherical viruses with flat, red-orange eyes with what look to be three fingers or feelers found on each side. Like real life viruses, diseases, and germs, Head Cold Monsters are microscopic, and they tend to be found in incredibly large groups.
History[]
King Dedede wanted to become sick just like everyone else, so he bought a jar full of Head Cold Monsters from Nightmare Enterprises and swallowed them up. Noticing that he could finally sneeze and be ill, Dedede was overjoyed at first, but soon realized that being sick was not fun at all. So he picked up Kirby and bought a Microtizer from Nightmare Enterprises, with which he shrunk Kirby with so he could send him down into his stomach to fight the monster germs. Before Kirby could inhale all of the Head Cold Monsters, Dedede sneezed Kirby out, and he ended up having to put up with being sick for a while longer.
Powers and Abilities[]
Head Cold Monsters are extremely virulent and can infect people and make them sick. At one time, King Dedede imagines a Head Cold Monster being a monster of about his own size, electrocuting him and winking its lidless eyes at the same time, causing him to catch cold. However, the N.M.E. Sales Guy corrects him, and says that he'd have to drink a whole jarful of Head Cold Monsters to get sick. He proceeds to say that although it is said that only smart people get sick, viruses and germs, especially the Head Cold Monsters, are indiscriminate, and just infect them anyway. The NME Salesman could have said this purely as a veiled insult to Dedede, implying that he isn't very smart.
