This article is about Waddle Doos who carry parasols. For Waddle Doos in a general context, seeWaddle Doo.
Parasol Waddle Doos[Japanese title] are variants ofWaddle Doos who hold aParasol, allowing them to float and sway gently through the air. If inhaled with its parasol,Kirby gains theParasolability. If attacked and not defeated, a Parasol Waddle Doo will drop its Parasol and become a regular Waddle Doo, while its parasol becomes a separate entity, either floating away, or becoming hostile in its own accord.
