Kany is an enemy appearing in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Its name comes from the Japanese word for crab, kani, and as such, it resembles a crab (though in Kirby's Dream Land 3, it bears a simplified look with evenly-sized claws attached to lines coming out the top of its head). In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, it looks somewhat different, having features of both a crab and a shellfish. Kany primarily appears in sea/island stages where it thrives amongst the other enemies. If inhaled, it will give out no ability.

In this game, Kany first appears on Aqua Star. It acts just about the same, except now it moves slower and may occasionally sit down for a moment. It also appears as a larger mini-boss in stage 2 of Aqua Star. If Kirby holds a Kany over his head, it will snip its claws, defeating enemies within range. Kany appears on the 27th Enemy Info Card.
