| ~ Anige |
Anige is an old yet cruel and manipulative monster appearing in the episode Tooned Out. Posing as the famous animator Dis Walney, Anige gets Dedede and Kirby to act out a "scene" wearing small optic sensors which he says can get them to appear as cartoons when seen on his computer. Having them right where he wants them, Anige gives the 'okay' to Dedede to start bashing Kirby around the set. Tiff realizes that it isn't the true Walney calling the shots and charges at him hoping to stop him. Walney emits a powerful red force field and reveals his true form. Anige start firing out red lasers at Kirby and Dedede using the floating red orbs surrounding him. He also uses controls their every moves by linking his controller to the optic sensors he placed on them earlier. Anige doesn't really fight directly, he merely controls Dedede and forces him to bash Kirby with his hammer and so on. Meta Knight points out that one of the optical sensors is sparking and tells him to inhale it. With the Spark ability, Kirby blasts a powerful laser at Anige. The monster counters it with a blast of his own, but the blast is essentially overpowered. The beam jolts Anige and he begins to be electrocuted. Kirby destroys Anige by finishing with another powerful blast which blows him to smithereens.
Physical Appearance
Anige disguised as Dis Waltney (Owalt Desney in Japan).
Anige is an elderly robot surrounded by eight spheres orbiting around his body. His head is an old fashioned television with a green screen and one large eye. The rest of his body resembles a tabletop lamp. He has a long metal rod for a body and a golden base. He has no arms. Rather, Anige's hands just float in place. He holds a dusty old controller which he can link to optical senors to control enemies. Like Walney, Anige has a small moustache and a red beret. Despite his age, Anige turns out to be a very cunning and wise monster.
Etymology
Anige's name appears to be portmanteau of the words anime and imagine.
