Sharbon

Sharbon is a minor character who made an appearance in the two-part "Scare Tactics" episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It is a mischievous yet non-violent spirit that causes trouble and scares passerby in a haunted mansion in Dream Land, usually by blowing bubbles with its pink bubble wand. Sharbon makes a successful attempt at scaring King Dedede by popping out of a painting and blowing bubbles at him. Like the Particle Ghost, Sharbon hasn't been seen since the whole house that they haunted was burned down by Fire Kirby.

Physical Appearance

Sharbon is a small, vibrant, blue levitating ghost with stubbly arms. It has a round, bubble-like face and a wispy tail resembling a droplet of water. It wears a sleeveless green shirt and it carries a pink bubble wand. It has a comical yet demented smile on its face, and large white oval-shaped eyes. Sharbon has three tufts of blond hair atop its head. It hides in a colorful violet painting that is full of grayish-blue bubbles.
