The Wizendrens are a humanoid, magic-using species that appear only in the Kirby: Behind the Scenes series. They are one of the most common inhabitants of Dream Land, along with Waddle Dees. They live in mostly Dream Land but they mostly live in Pumpkin Village, a town located on Pineapple Island.
The species made it's debut in Kirby: Behind the Scenes, though Drawcia was the only one seen until Chapter 7 where her older brother, Kyle, made his debut in the series. Many more members of this species will appear in Kirby: Behind the Scenes 3: Chronicles of Darkness.
While other species are capable of using magic, Wizendrens are one of the 3 species well known for their magic use, the other 2 being Kekes and the Fairies. Drawcia is both the first Wizendren and the first female one to be seen in the series while Kyle was the first male Wizendren to be seen in the series.
Appearance
Concept artwork explaining about how their robes work and how they levitate their weapon of choice.
They are short, humanoid beings that are somewhat short with their feet connected to their bodies and decent-length arms with five fingers. They usually wear robes much like wizards/witches, but not all Wizendrens do. The colors of their robes usually go with their preferred magic theme, though is always the case.
Wizendren age chart
Their appearance can greatly vary on the individual such as skin tone, hair color, length, etc. Teenage and adult female Wizendrens have a more feminine body style than the males do and most female Wizendrens wear robes that have magical properties that hide their curves, such as Drawcia herself.
Abilities
Wizendrens usually have average physical strength but they are highly skilled with magic, both in and out of battle. Wizendrens are also capable of creating dimensions and portals Drawcia is the only one who has done so currently in the series. The portals are usually used for transportation as well as escape methods but it is only used in cases of emergency. Wizendrens mostly use brooms for modes of transportation.
Wizendrens are capable of levitating their weapon of choice via magic and they can move the said weapon according to the movements of either the arm or fingers and the magic to levitate their weapon of choice is invisible to the naked eye.
A good number of Wizendrens are capable of using element-themed magic, such as lightning, fire, etc. They are also capable of creating their own magic theme, such as Drawcia creating her paint-themed magic. Some Wizendrens do have a good level of physical strength, such examples being Kyle, Rocko and Mindy.
Wizendrens are also able to cast curses on other beings, though these curses can benefit the one who was cursed. This skill has mostly diminished from the Wizendrens, as they prefer not to use them though rarely, some may cast a curse as a form of revenge. However, there are Wizendrens who are unable to use magic. These Wizendrens are not treated differently, as a Wizendren who is unable to use magic will seek out other skills to make up for their lack of magic.
Wizendrens are not just limited to magic alone, they can even fight at close range by making a blade on their rod via magic or by fighting with close range weapons such as swords or even bare handed. Wizendrens prefer swords over other close range weapons such as axes, spears, etc but some are known to use ninja weapons as well.
Wizendrens are also capable of fighting in hand to hand combat as well as using their magic without a weapon, though the magic is a tad weaker but it is still capable of doing damage.
