So Waddle Dees are simple creatures.
A common, but major misconception is they are uniform to the point where deviation is not tolerated. Variations are on the rarer side, but not unheard of. Sometimes Waddle Dees are not orange, but instead red, brown, yellow, and in rare cases almost green or purple. These variations do not matter in the social structure of a Waddle Dee herd. Additionally, some Dees are known to become masters in a dedicated subject, changing their name and appearance to reflect this. These changes also do not matter; they are still Waddle Dees to any other Dee.
The essentials are as follows: Waddle Dees are all are small, round, no mouth, two eyes, and a face lighter than their bodies.
The important thing to note is this:
When wearing his mask, Meta Knight meets all the qualifications for Waddle Dees to consider him as another Dee.
Nobody has seen Meta Knight Without his mask.
When Meta Knight came to Dreamland, the first person he met was not the King, not Kirby, but a small patrol of Waddle Dees who had seen his small starship crash.
Inside was a strange Dee, one with weapons and armor forged in stardust, one with wings meant to soar on solar winds, but also one who was bleeding and one who needed help. The alien features this Waddle Dee had were not given a second glance once the patrolling group had decided this knight was one of their own.
Recovery had become tricky once the Waddle Dee herd had discovered Knight Dee did not speak Wanya. However through persuasive shows of kindness, and by Wise Waddle Dee giving basic language lessons, Knight Dee had accepted the hospitality. This was when Meta Knight truly began to become part of the family.
Previously, he had lived a mostly solitary life, devoid of kindness or comfort. The universe has been razed over by dark matter, nightmares, and other nameless wars; Popstar is an oasis. Being taken in by aliens who saved his life and still were kind when he tried to reject help struck a chord in him. Meta Knight would learn how to repay the kindness every one of these creatures had shown him.
Through the years, although Meta Knight was far more solitary than his companions, he had learned their names, even bonded with many. His closest companions are two Dees by the name of Sailor and Bandana, although he deeply appreciates them all. Meta will take time away from his travels of the universe to visit the Waddle Dee herd, helping or celebrating or giving them gifts.
The Knight eventually catches on that the Waddle Dees have always considered him another one of their species, and when he tried to come clean and correct them all, they still called him one of their family. Needless to say, Meta Knight is extremely fond of each and every Waddle Dee.
Years later, when a new king comes into power and employs the Waddle Dees into his help, King Dedede is sifting through registration records of all the Waddle Dees. Seeing a name marked down in as Knight Waddle Dee piques his curiosity—he really does need a knight for his new court. He summons this knight and is confused when he sees who answers. Why is this “Meta” guy marked down as a Waddle Dee? When King Dedede brings it up, offering the correct the paperwork, it’s met with denial from not only the Knight, but every other Dee in the room as well.
Realizing his mistake, The King apologizes and doesn’t bring it up again. Meta Knight won’t admit it out loud, but that had been the first straw which eventually lead to him attempting a takeover. He had become so used to unquestionably being considered a Waddle Dee, having that questioned made him furious.
Meta Knight’s familial attachment to the Dees is also why he is so serious about his role as a guardian in Forgotten Land. He blames himself deeply for failing to protect them initially and refused to rest until every one had been rescued. They all had a big cuddle pile and he also had to talk to Therapist Waddle Dee after that incident.
