This hothead is very territorial, so don't get too close!
— Cast Description • Kirby's Epic Yarn

Candlemanders are enemies in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Physical Appearance[]

Candlemanders are red lizards with a yellow-orange flame on their middle back. They have blue button eyes, four short, red legs, and one red tail.

Games[]

Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[]

Candlemanders first appear in Mole Hole, and later in Dino Jungle. Candlemanders typically climb around walls aimlessly. When they see Kirby, though, a Candlemander's only form of attack is transforming into a fireball and rapidly chasing Kirby. After chasing Kirby or Prince Fluff for a few seconds, the Candlemander will revert to normal form, repeating the cycle. While a fireball, Candlemanders are invincible to Kirby and Prince Fluff's Digger form; however, they can still be defeated with the Yarn Whip.

Etymology[]

Candlemander is a portmanteau of "candle" and "salamander," as Candlemander's appearance and abilities reference the ancient fire mythology associated with salamanders.
