Pluid[Japanese title] is an enemy that appears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, which grants the Water ability when swallowed.

Pluid resembles a droplet of water with two red eyes. It releases droplets while on the ceiling, but this does not affect its size in the long run.

Pluid spends most of its time hanging from ceilings, and will drop down if approached. Its only means of attack is by contact, and although its drop may take the unwary adventurer by surprise, it is not hard to defeat.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Pluid can be found in the following levels and stages:
