Knuckle Joes are one of the most humanoid enemies in the Kirby series, with a seperate head, torso, and skinny limbs with big feet and hands. They have pointed, elf-like ears, tiny oval-shaped eyes, rosy cheeks and no visible mouth. Their spiky hair is split in two sections by a sort of bandanna that wraps around their heads.
