| “ | The little one? That's Rabiroo. The big one? That's Orabiroo. The O is for, "OH my gosh, look at how high they can jump!" Try not to be under one when they land. Their fellow critters like to pet them because they're so fluffy. (Don't touch the tail. They hate that.) | ” | — Figure description for "Rabiroo & Orabiroo" fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Rabiroo is a light blue rabbit-like enemy and member of theBeast Pack with long ear-like appendages stemming from its snout, appearing inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition. It tends to either sit in place or hop up and down continuously until it spotsKirby, from there hopping after him, hoping to attack by collision. Sometimes, Rabiroos continuously hop in set patterns and don't change their behavior if Kirby gets near them. Rabiroo is not particularly quick or threatening, can be easily defeated by Kirby'sinhale or another attack, and is worth oneStar Coin on defeat. Rabiroo grants no ability if swallowed.
Rabiroo has a larger and more dangerous cousin namedOrabiroo, which it shares itsfigure with. Additionally, a Crystal variant of Rabiroo appear alongside regular Rabiroos in theStar-Crossed World Starry Stages.
