[[File:Deedee.png|left]]D.D.s first appear in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', where they try to hinder [[Wario]] on his quest for treasure on [[Kitchen Island]]. When one spots him, it will stop walking, swing its boomerang in its hand three times, and then throw it at Wario, damaging him if it hits him. They can be stunned and picked up, though they are among the heavier enemies in the game owing to their size.

[[File:Wario Land 2 E DD.png|left]]The D.D.s return in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Their attack pattern remains exactly the same as it was in the previous game, though they and their boomerangs are physically smaller by a small amount, and the latter spin faster. Like the previous game, they are classified as heavy enemies in this game, meaning that Wario will slow down significantly when carrying one. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, they are usually given an orange, mint green, and dark blue palette.
