Teacher Creature

“ It's cool when you wave!” — Teacher Creature • Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Teacher Creature (Kyoushii in Japan) is a wicked monster in the anime that is the second monster in the long line education-themed monsters created at Nightmare Enterprises. He appears in the episode eNeMeE Elementary. Posing a simple hat, Teacher Creature turns anyone who wears it into an evil and violent teacher. The teachers conduct quite dangerously under the hat's influence. Even Tiff was made into an evil teacher when she tried on the hat. After Tuff knocked the hat off of her head, the hat transformed into Teacher Creature's true form- a strict hat-shaped monster. In his true form, he jumps on enemies and hits them around with his golf baton to attack. He can also attack by rapidly throwing chalk, erasers, and other school supplies. Teacher Creature gave quite a pounding to Kirby and was immune to his inhale, but the tides turned when Tiff pointed out that the chalks could be sucked up for the Fighter ability, and she was right. Fighter Kirby then easily clobbered the mean teacher, obliterating him with a Rising Break and taking out the whole school with him.

Physical Appearance and Abilities
Teacher Creature first appears as a top hat which resembles a graduation cap. The hat has black and green colorings within a zigzag pattern on its top. In his true form, his body resembles an upside down version of his hat form. He wears a long flowing green robe with a black zig-zag trim on the bottom and a large square fabric base. The arms of his robe have yellow linings, and he has black, flappy hands. He also holds a baton which he uses to whip his students. He wears a red hat with black linings with a black, flat ponytail held out by a yellow braid. He also has a red talisman with yellow linings and yellow writing on it (which was edited out of the dub).
