Cairn is a stack of three living oval-shaped rocks which differ in size and color, getting smaller toward the "head" rock which has two black beady eyes. It can be found as a relatively common enemy inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, where it can be seen hopping around or in place in a set pattern of differing jump heights and offers theStoneCopy Ability ifinhaled and swallowed byKirby.

Cairn's stones are not attached to each other, which causes Cairn's pieces to fly apart and then come back together while it is moving. This detached nature means that if Kirby holds and throws a Cairn, it will fall to pieces, and each piece will become a separate arcing projectile which can deal damage to enemies on impact or individually combine with other ability-granting enemies orAbility Stars to makePower Combos.
