First Appearance: Kirby's Dream Land
Waddle Dees are the most ubiquitous enemies in Dream Land, showing up from the very first game and have made an appearance in each one since. Oftentimes they just wander about, but they do have a few alternative means of attack, such as wielding parasols, spears, bows, balloons, fluff and driving carts. Typically they don't give "the hero" anything when swallowed unless they're carrying something like a parasol. Among their ranks, one has risen to playable status and has enough demand to get a decent fan push for Smash inclusion: Bandana Waddle Dee.
"When your life's a mess and you're down on your luck, and you just done your best but it's whole lot of muck, you need Waddle Duck"

Well, I got into the museum systems long enough to plant a little surprise when we're ready to go live.
No, I got detected before I could do more.
I know. I'm A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. You always say that.
Look. The good news is that I wasn't identified. So no one knows anything. Beyond...
I MAY have said something about the last time we worked a little scheme on Talking Time.
The old forum is gone now though! No one knows what I meant.
I'M NOT WORRIED. Maybe you should try it too boss.
I know. It's my job to sow discord, yours to take over the world. Trust me, the Discord will come.
Phase 2 is about to begin, yes. Those cats won't know what hit them. Never liked cats anyway.
Well YOU haven't made one of those yet either. Beyond...
Almost let it slip. Yes, this could be traced, you're right boss.
That squid is pretty sharp. She cut me out as soon as she got to work. What do you mean?
Ohhhhhhh. Right. Right. Got it.
I'll report in as soon as I get the squad assembled.
Seventh Son out.
Ugh. He's such a pain. Wait. Was your microphone enabled? Tr--
Next update is Wednesday!

Thanks to the efforts of Octopus Prime, #24 has left Discord and returned to the forum! Just...not the right thread. It's squirrelly thanks to it being a random encounter! Be sure to investigate around noon PST for its new hideout...
#24 was found in the Pit! Luckily Zef, Issun and Dracula were quick to snuff it out, but FALSELOGIC gave it a chance to escape! It's probably settled up somewhere else on the forum...
Issun found #24 in the "latest profile posts"! I think it'll meander its way back home soon...

Hi all,
Gonna take a short break from the contest to work through everything that has gone down this week. The gag with #24 was a good distraction, but I need to analyze and decompress everything for a few days. I'll get this going again next week.

N.o...e.s.c.a.p.e...!
But Phoenix Downs kill-- er, revive? In any case they eliminate ghosts!
What!? No - I'm still on your side. Don't you see my status? My last post was directed at the wayward #25.
Actually it causes us to reincarnate (or so I've heard). And who knows where I would end up if that happened. And I really don't want to have to change my avatar and status. So please don't.

First Appearance: Final Fantasy VII
Hell House seems incredibly out of place when the "heroes" stumble upon it in Final Fantasy VII; it's simply a house from first appearances. But then it starts attacking with Erupt and Hell Bomber. Once it hits a certain HP Suicide Drop is added to the mix. It's when it transforms into a mechanical monstrosity -- with limbs, bursters and an ominous head dangling from the attic -- when things become even more fantastical. Hell Press, Bodyblow and Lunattack join its repertoire, and taking it down becomes even more difficult. The big kicker is that Hell House is a significant threat in contrast to other random encounters in Section 6, especially because "the heroes" are only a party of two when Hell House first appears. In short, a hell of a time. The remake casts it as a boss instead of a common enemy, but its entry is based on its original appearance.
Here's what some of our donors had to say:

I'm given to understand that it always wins.
That house is a good dog

First Appearance: Super Mario Bros.
Bombs away! Lakitu first appeared in Stage 4-1 and left a powerful message to "the hero"; the air is no longer safe! Dropping hordes of Spinies, an enemy that can't be stomped (at least in the original game), Lakitu rose high on the ranks of most notorious Mario foes. Later games introduced a fishing pole to his arsenal, which he uses in a variety of ways; plucky "heroes" could also swipe his ride in certain games! Curiously, manuals seem to refer to Lakitu as a singular entity, meaning all those times he's been knocked away, he keeps coming back for more...of course, in Super Mario 64 there was the Lakitu Bros. camera team AND antagonistic Lakitu attacking "the hero", but some food for thought...
Donors had this to say:
End of Battle
