Fishbone is a hovering foe noted for its ability to shoot projectiles at Kirby that resemble its head, debuting in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and appearing in no game since then. While common to underwater stages, these enemies can also float in thin air, usually above a Star Block, or within a small cave, from which they attempt to ambush and shoot Kirby with their boomerang-shaped bones. By ingesting these creatures, Kirby obtains the Cutter ability. Kirby can also hold a Fishbone above his head to use its attack to hit other enemies. Fishbone appears to be flat, but its segments do have a small amount of depth to them.
A larger variant of Fishbone appears as a Mid-Boss in Stage 3 of Rock Star. It sits in place while smaller Fishbones appear near it. The large Fishbone will turn to face Kirby, but will not attack of its own accord, only harming him if he collides into it. It takes several hits to defeat.
