Kany is an enemy appearing inKirby's Dream Land 3 andKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Its name comes from the Japanese word for crab,kani, and as such, it resembles a crab (though inKirby's Dream Land 3, it bears a simplified look with evenly-sized claws attached to lines coming out the top of its head). InKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, it looks somewhat different, having features of both a crab and a shellfish. Kany primarily appears in sea/island stages where it thrives amongst the other enemies. If inhaled, it will give out no ability.
