Physical Appearance

Games
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Pluid hangs around on the ceiling, usually with others of its kind nearby, and drops to the floor when Kirby approaches. When on the ground, Pluid will simply hop around.
Etymology
Pluid's name is a combination of the word plewd, a drop of perspiration frequently drawn in cartoon media, and fluid, which is liquid matter. Both of these words reference the enemy's watery body.
Trivia
- Pluid was originally intended to debut in the cancelled title Kirby GCN as an enemy and as the Helper for the planned Water/Bubble ability in that game.
- Pluid behaves similarly to Dropso from Kirby's Epic Yarn. It also appears physically similar to Drop from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
