Dedede is the ruler of Dreamland with a mallet and massive food stash to himself. He has a grudge against Kirby but truly cares for him as an endearing enemy and rival. Dedede has Escargoon as his right hand man and loyal Waddle Dee servants to help him around the castle. Dedede has a growing debt with Nightmare Enterprises/NME, as he keeps asking them for monsters to clobber that there Kirby (which all fail). Dedede is the funniest tyrant to ever exist and thinks he is a Super Star Warrior.
