Rename this page!Notice: It has been suggested that this article be renamed to Mamanti.
Please discuss this proposal on the talk page, or rename the article if appropriate.

Reason: official American English name

Mamatee,[1] also referred to asMamanti,[2] is alarge aquaticenemy who first appears inKirby: Triple Deluxe and serves as a bigger analogue toBlipper, but with the fins of a manta ray. It moves slowly and gracefully through thewater, often seen performing lazy loops between the foreground and background. It will however often attempt to jump out of the water atKirby, where it will then flop about helplessly on land, just like a Blipper would. Mamatee has a fairly high amount ofhealth, and as such takes a few hits to take out. Essentially, it serves the same role in the water asGrandy does on land.

Trivia[edit]

  • InKirby: Triple Deluxe, the internal filename for Mamatee is called "Briterri", suggesting a closer relation to Blipper. As ofKirby: Planet Robobot, the file is renamed "Mamatee", which matches the British English name given onMiiverse.
  • On the officialKirby JP Twitter feed,an illustration was posted for Mother's Day which features Mamatee in the lower-left corner. This image may be taken to suggest that Mamatees are the mothers of Blippers, though it does not conclusively account for all Mamatees.
    • Additionally, going from the suggestion in this image, it could be speculated that the name "Mamatee" is a portmanteau of "mama" and "manatee".
