Chilly
| ||
Chilly is a reoccurringenemy throughout theKirby series. His basic appearance is that of a two-segmented snowman, with the bottom segment serving as the body, and the upper as the head. He commonly wears a cylindrical bucket atop his head, and a collar with a bell around his neck. He also has two black eyes with thick eyebrows. Chilly himself has never possessed an incredibly major role in anyKirby game, commonly appearing as a basic enemy or as ahelper, and most notably givingKirby theIce orFreezeCopy Ability. He is usually, although not always, found in very cold or snowy areas.

InKirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]
| ||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
| “ | Chilly, you're made out of snow, right...but you're alive? | ” | — Tuff, inDedede's Snow Job |
Chilly appears inKirby: Right Back at Ya! as amonster created byIce Dragon and ordered byKing Dedede to assassinateKirby. He attempts to do this covertly, pretending to be Kirby's friend while trying to do him in. After many failed attempts - one of which ends up with Kirby having to save him from melting in a pool - Chilly comes to pity the pink puffball, who remains none-the-wiser, and runs back to Ice Dragon instead. Because he did not kill Kirby, King Dedede ordersIce Dragon to stomp the snowman, but Kirby saves him in the nick of time, then they battle theIce Dragon and saveCappy Town from freezing up. However, as the weather returns to normal, Chilly starts to melt away. Kirby tries in vain to save Chilly, but the poor snowman ends up melting on an iceberg out in the sea.
Chilly is portrayed fairly faithfully to his video game incarnation, but his cap is notably green in color rather than the usual blue (as was standard in the games at the time, though green-hat Chilly would become normal in games onwards fromKirby's Return to Dream Land). He cannot conjure a freezing aura around himself, but he is able to conjure snowballs from his hands. He is incapable of normal speech, able to only repeat his name.
- Chilly with a shocked expression
- Kirby and Tuff encounter Chilly.
- Chilly makes one more attempt on Kirby's life, but can't do it anymore.
- Kirby makes a heroic but futile attempt to save Chilly from melting.

InKirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!,Bandana Waddle Dee tries to recruit Chilly for the staff of the Dedede Café, since he wants his help to create ice cream and shaved ice. Chilly refuses, saying he looks forward to theKirby Café and not the Dedede Café. Waddle Dee offers him desserts made by him and theWaddle Dees, causing Chilly to change his mind and agree help. Later, at the second round of the cooking competition, Chilly is unsure of Waddle Dee's idea for the drink, since he thinks the au lait will be too sweet forMeta Knight's taste. However, Waddle Dee assures that it will help him to get rid of his fatigue. When they win the second round, Chilly and the other Dedede Café staff celebrate.
Trivia[edit]
- The color of Chilly's hat has changed many times throughout the series. In most early games (including his first appearance), it was blue. However, most modern games depict it as green. Chilly's hat has had the following hues throughout the series:

- Red -Kirby's Dream Course
- Gray -Kirby Super Star,Kirby Super Star Ultra (as an enemy),Kirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn.
