Games

Kirby's Dream Land

Glunk inhabits the Castle Lololo. It is found either in or near water. Periodically, it releases a bubble from its head that travels laterally. Since it cannot move, this is its only means of offense.

Glunk is changed in Dream Land's Extra Game. Its shots are larger and move faster than before.

Kirby's Adventure

Glunk reappears, still generally by water, but with a different attack. Rather than launching a bubble, it squirts straight upward forming a tall, thin beam. This attack is periodically launched in a cycle. Also, Glunk can appear on ceilings.

Kirby's Block Ball

Glunk can be found in Level 2-1. Once defeated, it drops a food item.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Glunk is Enemy Info Card #18. When lifted overhead, it fires shots upward and can hit enemies found above Kirby.

Other Games

In its later appearances, Glunk uses the upward stream attack presented in Adventure. It stays with this means of offense throughout the series.
