Gaveela is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby: Canvas Curse.
Physical Appearance[]
Gaveela is a prehistoric-looking serpentine creature with a blue-green body and a large round head. It has three antennae on each side of its head, each with a round blue bead on the end. They have short, stubby, clawed arms, and big eyes. Its full body is never seen.
Games[]
Kirby: Canvas Curse[]
Gaveela makes its first appearance in the stage Dungeon Dome. It resides in rocky crevasses waiting for the player to draw near, at which point it comes out of hiding to try and swallow them. When Gaveela catches the player in its mouth, it will continuously deal damage until it is tapped; it can also be temporally stunned by tapping it.
Etymology[]
Gaveela's name may be based on the gavial, a crocodilian reptile.
Trivia[]
- Gaveelas are a spiritual successor of the impervious leech-like lizard Glom, a monster with a similar design and behavior. Unlike Glom, however, Gaveela can be stunned while Glom is completely invincible.
- Gaveelas resemble and behave similarly to Chameleo Arm.
