It has a red dome in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, and a pink one in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It has two cubic appendages in Kirby Super Star, two spherical purple appendages in Kirby Super Star Ultra, and four cylinder-shaped purple appendages in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Games

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra

Volm appears inside Galactic Nova with Pata and Dacooga enemies. Volm moves around walls, floors, and ceilings. It shoots small, flashing bullets when Kirby's Starship approaches. The enemy explodes when hit with one shot.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

When Kirby enters Star Dream Soul OS, the Mother Computer's heart fires Patas, Dacoogas, and Volms. They explode on impact. This is the first game in the series in which Kirby can inhale Volm.

Etymology

ボルム (Borumu) may derive from ボム (bomu), meaning "bomb".
