this my sound childish, but I was watching "Kirby, right back at 'cha!" on 4kids/ Foxbox/ whatever just yesterday morning.
Dedede had those "scarfies" as pets. But they ate everything in whatever that magical land is called where kirby and those weird "people" live. They kept eating and they somehow reproduced? So there was 20 of them, still all cute looking. Then all of a sudden... they turned into monsters. Man was I scared.
and I've tried sucking those things up before... OMFG!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!
