2.7 Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra.2.2 Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.This may explain how Whispy constantly relocates to different forests from game to game. Whispy Woods is also capable of some movement (albeit limited), which is revealed in Kirby's Dream Land 3.

Some of the most recent games have also featured other tree bosses alongside or in place of Whispy Woods, namely Flowery Woods from Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Clanky Woods from Kirby: Planet Robobot, Yggy Woods and Parallel Woods both from Kirby Star Allies, and Tropic Woods from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. In other games, similar trees like Whispy Woods Jr., Twiggy Woods, and Twin Woods make appearances, and in the anime Whispy is shown to be old friends with another talking tree named Acore. Whispy evidently isn't the only tree of his kind, a fact explored in in several games following his debut, most heavily in Kirby Mass Attack where similarly-named sentient trees such as Tower Woods, Wobbly Woods, and Floaty Woods appear. This has also made him one of the most iconic and recognizable characters in the series. As a result, Whispy is usually the first boss to be fought in most of the games he appears in, and is the most recurring boss to be fought in the series, even more so than King Dedede and Kracko. This is because he (in most cases) cannot move and has a shallow range of attacks. Whispy is commonly regarded to be one of the easiest bosses in the series. In early games this was seen as him shooting puffs of air similar to the ones Kirby produces, but now he is able to breathe out mini-cyclones. Besides apples, Whispy can also attack with his breath.

The only ways to counterattack without a Copy Ability is to inhale apples and shoot them back at him. He attacks by making apples fall on Kirby, blowing air puffs, and occasionally shooting his roots out in some games. The forest king first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land and is a giant apple tree with a face and a branch-like nose. Whispy Woods is a recurring boss in the Kirby series. The ancient tree has awoken from its slumber to block your path! ”
