Domestic Servant Robot is a roboticmonster that appears in theKirby: Right Back at Ya! episodePink-Collar Blues. It is roughly washing machine-shaped with extendable arms and tank treads which is capable of performing a wide variety of household tasks, but can also transform into a battle robot with combat abilities.King Dedede orders this robot fromNight Mare Enterprises to replace hisWaddle Dee servants, but these Waddle Dees come back to helpKirby destroy the robot after it is revealed it was stealing treasure fromCastle Dedede in order to force Dedede to repay his debt to N.M.E.

Description[edit]

The Domestic Servant Robot is a stout square-shaped machine with retractable arms and tank treads in place of legs. Its main body is painted white, and its face consists of a patchwork of cogs and eyepieces, with a mouth that serves as a slot which opens up to deliver various objects. Its eyepieces are notably asymmetrical, with the right eye being larger and the left being decorated with accents that give it a strange facial expression. The Domestic Servant Robot is quick to perform tasks around the castle and is very versatile. In addition to fetching things and using tools, it has a built-in washer which can be used to do laundry. Despite its efficiency, however, it cannot do as much work by itself as all the Waddle Dees in the castle could.

When threatened, the Domestic Servant Robot can fight in a number of different ways. It can fire a devastating laser blast from its larger eye which causes explosions on impact. When necessary, it can transform into a much larger battle robot with beefy arms and legs and headpiece atop its main body with an additional eye. In this form, it can easily brush off the attacking Waddle Dees with spears. However, if pinned down, it can be weakened by loosening its bolts and screws and then destroyed with a hard impact.

The20th Anniversary Kirby Dream Encyclopedia mentions that the Domestic Servant Robot's battle form is named ダンガム (Dungam), a reference to theMobile Suit Gundam franchise. This is not mentioned in the episode itself, even in the Japanese version.

Role in Pink-Collar Blues[edit]

Main article:Pink-Collar Blues

InPink-Collar Blues, King Dedede orders the Domestic Servant Robot from Night Mare Enterprises in order to replace the Waddle Dees in his castle, as he has grown impatient with them. Using the robot to help, he evicts every one of them from the castle. Later on, however, it is revealed byMeta Knight that the robot has been going around stealing precious objects from the castle while on cleaning duty and returning them to N.M.E. in order to force Dedede to pay his outstanding debt. When King Dedede finds out about this, the robot turns on him and starts attacking him with laser blasts. Seeing the destruction from afar, the Waddle Dees return to the castle to defend Dedede from the robot. Kirby helps them by using theStoneCopy Ability to pound the robot into the ground and keep it pinned while the Waddle Dees set to work dismantling it with their tools. Once the robot is sufficiently loosened, Stone Kirby delivers one last stomp to reduce it to scrap.
