Lanzer[1] is a reoccurringenemy which grantsKirby theSpearCopy Ability when swallowed. The enemy, which debuted inKirby's Return to Dream Land, wields a trident and sports an iridescent purple helmet. Lanzer bears a resemblance to certain other knights in theKirby series, namelyTrident Knight andSir Kibble. This is apparent given Lanzer's spherical build and comparatively large feet. Unlike Trident Knight, however, Lanzer does not toss its trident when attacking. Nonetheless, it has excellent range when jabbing, so it should be treated with the utmost caution when faced.
