8 Video Game Protagonists Who Are DEFINITELY Getting Coal In Their Stockings

6. Kirby - Kirby Franchise

Don't let his cute exterior fool you - Kirby is probably the single most gluttonous character in video game history, given his tendency to suck up and devour anything he can see, be it a whole ton of food or a fleet of enemies.

As such there's an only partially tongue-in-cheek fan theory that Kirby is actually an ancient eldritch entity that's been reborn in the vessel of an adorable pink puffball.

This is without even getting into Kirby's damn, dirty penchant for identity theft - it's not merely enough to swallow a person into a cosmic void, he'll then steal their powers and traits for his own benefit.

Though we should perhaps be grateful that Kirby hasn't done far worse considering that he's canonically one of the most powerful Nintendo characters with literally world-destroying potential, it's still a capital-D dick move to trouble the world and its inhabitants with your giant, gaping maw.

The problem with giving Kirby a truckload of coal, though, is that he's just going to eat it, isn't he?
