History Characters / KirbyBeastPack

* TraumaButton: Fecto Forgo doesn't seem to have taken their imprisonment in Lab Discovera well. Forgo Land, a recreation of Lab Discovera located deep in Forgo's own dream dimension, plays a [[HellIsThatNoise distorted version]] of the Dream Discoveries Tour guide's announcement [[IncessantMusicMadness over and over]], indicating that it scarred Forgo to the point where they can still hear her voice in their subconscious.

** King Dedede fights with his [[CarryABigStick iconic hammer]], whereas Leongar fights using [[GoodOldFisticuffs his own brute strength]].

** King Dedede is laid-back, greedy, egotistical, but still a good king in spite of never doing anything to prove his power over his people, whereas Leongar takes his role very seriously.
** King Dedede fights with his iconic hammer, whereas Leongar fights using his own brute strength.
** Leongar, being an animal, doesn't wear much aside from a feather cape, whereas Dedede is completely dressed.

* PunnyName: She's a balle''rina'' who stirs up ''flurri''es.

* SwallowedWhole: It's noted on their figure that Sssnackers can swallow their prey whole, and they'll do the same to Kirby if they manage to catch him.

* AndIMustScream: He's clearly shown to be in great pain while possessed by Fecto Forgo, and later gets his soul ripped out and split into hundreds of pieces for good measure. ''Then'' he spends the entire Forgo Leon fight screaming in what appears to be rage or agony from Soul Forgo's painful MindRape. What's even more is that his figure description in the Japanese version states that his soul is making an active effort to combat Forgo, but is unable to stop them.
* AxCrazy: Threatens to [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath feast on Kirby's hide]] even before the boss fight, where, after he TurnsRed, he turns feral and chases after Kirby while violently chomping at him. Without Fecto Forgo influencing him, however, he is completely sane.
* BadBoss: Downplayed and eventually subverted. He's not as abusive to his subjects as [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Queen Sectonia]], [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot President Haltmann]], or even [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Hyness]], but Gorimondo's figure description says that he yells at Gorimondo a lot for constantly eating the food he's supposed to be gathering. And then we find out that he's GoodAllAlong, and his verbally abusive behavior is a result of his brainwashing from Fecto Forgo. Outside of their control, he's TheGoodKing.

* BigBad: {{Subverted|Trope}}. You'd think that as the mysterious, unseen leader of the Beast Pack who only appears in the final BossOnlyLevel, Leongar would be the ultimate villain of the game, as is ''Kirby'' series tradition... but he's swiftly upstaged when it turns out Fecto Forgo was influencing all of his actions.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He's been under Fecto Forgo's MindControl for the entire game. In the post-game, this escalates to out-and-out DemonicPossession.

** To Landia as of ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Both are the rulers of abandoned planets (Halcandra and the New World) where they make their base atop a volcanic mountain (Dangerous Dinner and Redgar Forbidden Land), acting as Kirby's supposed final obstacle. However, it turns out that they aren't inherently evil, but were only {{AntiVillain}}s because they were corrupted by the true villains of the game (the Master Crown and Fecto Forgo), evident by them gaining strange new powers and eye changes in their second phases. However, Landia was fully aware of the Master Crown's evil intentions from the start and trying to prevent it from being taken so it could possess new victims like Magolor, whereas Leon was completely unaware of Forgo's true plans because his mind was clouded by promises of leaving the New World and Forgo's brainwashing.

** He's also this to [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Hyness]]. Both are respected leaders who seek a better life for their people, drive the main plot out of a borderline-religious devotion to a sealed-away version of an [[EldritchAbomination unholy abomination]], eventually become ''part'' of said abomination before the FinalBoss battle, and have to be freed from a [[TheCorruption corrupted state]] in a grueling postgame boss fight that takes place in an EldritchLocation version of their original boss arena. But while Hyness let his vision for the future become clouded by {{revenge}} and his sincere worship of Void Termina deteriorated into an insane wish to summon it as a DestroyerDeity, Leongar only got the idea to use "the Great One" because Fecto Forgo was [[{{Brainwashed}} putting those thoughts in his head to begin with]] and the rest of the Beast Pack is not shown to have any ties to them. Furthermore, Hyness [[HumanSacrifice sacrifices himself]] to Void willingly, while Leongar is [[TheAssimilator assimilated]] without his knowledge or consent. Going hand-in-hand with this, Corrupt Hyness is a LaughingMad natural extension of normal Hyness's [[TheFundamentalist Void-worshipping madness]] turned DrunkOnTheDarkSide, while Forgo Leon is an [[GrandTheftMe unwilling host]] to Fecto Forgo's evil soul and spends the entire boss fight screaming in pain from the [[MindRape assault on his psyche]].

* DemonicPossession: In the post-game, Leongar's soul gets removed from his body so Fecto Forgo can possess him, becoming "Forgo Leon".
* TheDisembodied: Gets his soul forced out of his body and broken into hundreds of pieces by Fecto Forgo, who has ''also'' become this trope, during the events of the postgame.

* TheDragon: To Fecto Forgo, being the one who commands the Beast Pack to find Elfilin and bring him to Fecto Forgo.

** Both of them are brainwashed by Fecto Forgo, and are fought by Kirby twice throughout the game, experiencing grueling MindRape and being reduced to RunningOnAllFours and gaining elemental powers as a result of their influence. King Dedede ends up becoming corrupted into the deranged Forgo Dedede, who wears a [[FullBoarAction boar mask]] which seems to have Fecto's influence carried of it, and switches to all fours in the second phase, trying to charge at Kirby and punching the ground to create [[PlayingWithFire fiery cyclones]], and is defeated when Kirby breaks his mask. Leongar instead becomes [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by Fecto Forgo themselves and becomes Forgo Leon, who switches back to being bipedal in his second phase, with his face becoming wreathed in a black cloud, and Kirby having to purge Soul Forgo out of his body. Forgo Dedede also has [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and can [[FlunkyBoss summon enemies]] throughout the fight, whereas Forgo Leon has GlowingEyesOfDoom and gets assistance from Soul Forgo in his second phase.
** Their first battle also involves Elfilin. For King Dedede, he gets kidnapped and is brought back to Fecto Forgo, whereas Kirby saves Elfilin upon defeating Leongar.

* GentleGiant: After being possessed by Fecto Forgo and then being defeated, Kirby and the Beast Pace save him by collecting his lost souls to bring him back, and the giant lion becomes friendly from then after.
* GottaGetYourHeadTogether: When he TurnsRed, he grips his head as he gains a purple BattleAura. This seemingly marks the point where [[BigBad Fecto Forgo]] takes control of him with their PsychicPowers, since he does the same pose again once Forgo [[GrandTheftMe hijacks his body]] in the postgame.

* PowersViaPossession: When Fecto Forgo possesses him in the seccond phase, Leongar gets a few new attacks such as being able to extend his claws and create waves of energy and [[BreathWeapon shoot a massive laser from his mouth]]. The boss battle against the possessed Forgo Leon starts where the original Leongar left off, so once he TurnsRed, he gains never-before-seen abilities, like a thunderous ElementalPunch.

* DubNameChange: Her Japanese name is スワロリーナ, a portmanteau of "swan" and "ballerina".

* LightIsNotGood: Later in the game, she gains the ability to summon a [[DoppelgangerAttack copy of herself]] made of light when she TurnsRed, and is just as antagonistic to Kirby as ever.

* BeardOfEvil: It's easy to miss, but Gorimondo has a very small white goatee.

* CloseRangeCombatant: Apart from his boulder-throwing attack, Gorimondo mainly fights up close, using {{Shockwave Stomp}}s and big swipes of his arms to hit Kirby.

* GentleGorilla: He's a KillerGorilla at first, but later becomes friends with Kirby after his HeelFaceTurn, along with the other members of the Beast Pack at the end.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He has black fur as you might expect from a gorilla, but he's also covered in red tribal markings that make him look even more menacing and dangerous.

* VillainousGlutton: Often gets in trouble with his higher-ups for eating all the fruit he's supposed to be gathering as part of his duties.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Has a prominent white [[DelinquentHair mohawk]] on top of everything else, and he's part of a major antagonistic faction.

* AxCrazy: While his face is supposed to make him look, well, silly, his ManiacTongue and PerpetualSmiler features make him look more deranged than outright goofy. This is especially important when you remember that [[spoiler:he is the one behind all of the Kirby and Elfilin wanted posters seen earlier in the game.]]

* WantedPoster: According to the June 2022 issue of ''Nintendo Dream'', [[spoiler:Sillydillo is the one who drew all the wanted posters of Kirby and Elfilin seen throughout the game's levels.]]

-->'''Chaos Elfilis's profile:''' ''"Many Souls that the Butterfly and ID-F86 have absorbed in the past have mixed together and taken shape. Few of its emotions are left, and it acts only on destructive impulse.."''

** Retroactively to Grand Doomer as of ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLandDeluxe Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Both are bosses that are fought by Kirby and initially a one off obstacle until it's revealed they were the right hand lackeys of the masters they served (Master Crown and Leon). However, while Grand Doomer is a willing servant of the Master Crown and allowed its fragments to revive it as Crowned Doomer to fight against Magolor, Clawroline's fight with Kirby was [[spoiler:only just to keep an eye on Leon who was under Fecto Forgo/Elfilis's control and helps Kirby and Elfilin rescue her husband's soul fragments in Forgo Dreams during the post game.]]

** To Landia as of ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLandDeluxe Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Both are the rulers of abandoned planets (Halcandra and the New World) where they make their base atop a volcanic mountain (Dangerous Dinner and Redgar Forbidden Land), acting as Kirby's supposed final obstacle. However, it turns out that they aren't inherently evil, but were only {{AntiVillain}}s because they were corrupted by the true villains of the game (the Master Crown and Fecto Forgo), evident by them gaining strange new powers and eye changes in their second phases. However, Landia was fully aware of the Master Crown's evil intentions from the start and trying to prevent it from being taken so it could possess new victims like Magolor, whereas Leon was completely unaware of Forgo's true plans because his mind was clouded by promises of leaving the New World and Forgo's brainwashing.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Susie]]. Both have a familial relationship to a member of their faction (Susie is [[spoiler:Haltmann's daughter]] and Clawroline is [[spoiler:Leongar's wife/queen]], and are fought in the third area of the game (Overload Ocean and Wondaria Remains). They also start out as major antagonists to Kirby before they pull a HeelFaceTurn to stop the true villain of the story. However, whereas Susie acted on her own accord to stop Kirby and have Haltmann [[spoiler:remember her by selling Star Dream]], Clawroline only fought Kirby [[spoiler:to keep an eye on Leon, who's been acting strange since his brainwashing]] and never wanted to release [[spoiler:Fecto Forgo]] in the first place. Finally, while Susie only pulled an EnemyMine with Kirby to stop [[spoiler:Star Dream]], and afterward, only cares about reviving her company, thus making her ReformedButNotTamed, Clawroline genuinely redeems herself and becomes allies with Kirby.

** To Landia as of ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLandDeluxe Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Both are the rulers of abandoned planets (Halcandra and the New World) where they make their base atop a volcanic mountain (Dangerous Dinner and Redgar Forbidden Land), acting as Kirby's supposed final obstacle.

* DropTheHammer: They specialize in using wooden mallets and grant the Hammer ability when inhaled. In a literal sense of this trope, they attack by throwing their mallets at Kirby.

* DropTheHammer: They wield a stone hammer as opposed to regular Bonkers' wooden mallet.

Foot soldiers of the Beast Pack, the Awoofies serve as Kirby's standard, rank-and-file enemies in the Forgotten Land's "new world". They don't seem to give any ability when inhaled.

* AllThereInTheManual: Most localizations never list their name in-game, and were only given in the June 2022 issue of ''Nintendo Dream''. The sole exception is the German version, listing their name in the figure description for "Captured Waddle Dees".

* TheJailer: As shown in the opening sequence, they cage Waddle Dees (and Elfilin) by landing on top of them with their cages.

* PunnyName: In Japanese, their name (クロッカー, or ''Kurokkā'') comes from ''kuro'' ("black"), ''kurō'' (the English word "crow"), and ''rokkā'' (the English word "locker"). For the red Clockers, this is a bit of a NonIndicativeName. In German, their name is "Sperrling", a portmanteau of "Sperling" (sparrow) and "Sperren" (to lock).

* PunnyName: Rabiroo is a combination of "rabbit" and "kangaroo", while Orabiroo adds the Japanese "ō", meaning "big".

* DubNameChange: Tortorner is called "Tortalos" in Japanese, and Tortuilding is "Build Tortalos". [[spoiler:The Big Red Tortuilding found in the Redgar Forbidden Lands is called "Redgar Tortalos".]]

* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: [[spoiler:The Tortuilding in [[LethalLavaLand Redgar Forbidden Lands]] has red skin like a lobster's, and unlike the first Tortuilding, it can spit chunks of flaming rubble at Kirby from a considerable distance.]]

* DubNameChange: He's called "Wild Frost" in Japanese.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: {{Subverted|Trope}}, because when they bust the shield out, [[TacticalSuicideBoss they don't move]], allowing Kirby to [[BackStab hit them from behind]] and stun them.

* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: When Fleurina [[TurnsRed hits half health]], she'll try to [[WeaponsThatSuck suck Kirby in]] with a huge tornado. As long as Kirby doesn't touch the clouds around her, he'll be unharmed.

* DubNameChange: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, he's called Gorurumunba.

* FastballSpecial: If you don't [[SmashingSurvival mash the buttons]] fast enough when Gorimondo grabs Kirby, he'll hurl the pink puff into the ground. [[spoiler:It's much harder to escape damage when his Phantom variant does it.]]

* ShockwaveStomp: Surprisingly for such a TopHeavyGuy, Gorimondo can stomp the floor if Kirby gets too close to him, which creates a small shockwave. After he TurnsRed, he'll follow it up by jumping into the air and slamming down for a bigger shockwave. During his [[spoiler:Phantom Battle, some of those shockwaves are even borrowed from Void Termina's battle. Makes sense considering the same person who designed his boss fight was the same one who designed Void Termina's]].
* SmashingSurvival: If Gorimondo grabs the player, they'll have to frantically mash buttons to escape his muscular grip before he [[FastballSpecial throws them into the ground]] with all his might. Interestingly, this attack is how he ''opens'' the battle. [[spoiler:His Phantom counterpart gives you a ''much'' smaller time frame to escape it.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:His Phantom counterpart will show you the kind of bosses you'll be up against during the Forgo Dreams post-game level. His attack patterns are far less forgiving and his grab attack is much harder to escape than the initial fight.]]

* TornadoMove: When he TurnsRed, Gorimondo starts to use "Armstrong" (アームストロング), a dangerous SpinAttack that's visually similar to Donkey Kong's up special move in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. It's powerful enough to cause an impressive ChunkyUpdraft. [[spoiler:His Phantom counterpart in Forgo Dreams has its own variant that raises boulders with tornadoes.]]

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Susie]]. Both have a familial relationship to a member of their faction (Susie is [[spoiler:Haltmann's daughter]] and Clawroline is [[spoiler:Leongar's wife/queen]], and are fought in the third world of the game (Overload Ocean and Wondaria Remains). They also start out as major antagonists to Kirby before they pull a HeelFaceTurn to stop the true villain of the story. However, whereas Susie acted on her own accord to stop Kirby and have Haltmann [[spoiler:remember her by selling Star Dream]], Clawroline only fought Kirby [[spoiler:to keep an eye on Leon, who's been acting strange since his brainwashing]] and never wanted to release [[spoiler:Fecto Forgo]] in the first place. Finally, while Susie only pulled an EnemyMine with Kirby to stop [[spoiler:Star Dream]], and afterward, only cares about reviving her company, thus making her ReformedButNotTamed, Clawroline genuinely redeems herself and becomes allies with Kirby.

* FightingSpirit: One of Chaos Elfilis' moves after they TurnRed involves conjuring an utterly ''gargantuan'' mass of psychic energy in their form, having the projection sweep its giant spear across the field while they also perform a FlechetteStorm. It's visually similar to Morpho Knight's "Underworld Beast" attack, which summons a ghost made of crimson-red fire to chase after Kirby.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, Fecto Forgo is heavily implied to be responsible for opening the various Treasure Roads on the overworld.[[labelnote:Why?]]The "Rare Stone Master!" figure states that the mysterious vortex (i.e. Forgo's dimensional rifts) "leads to all sorts of worlds", with the Treasure Roads being chief among them. The Rare Stones are mentioned to contain "powerful energy", which they would certainly want for themselves given their [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport current state]]. Supporting this is the music that plays in late-game Treasure Roads, "Forga-tten Treasure" -- "Forga-tten" (フォルガトゥン) is used for every level of Forgo Dreams, indicating a strong connection between Forgo and Treasure Road. This same music track is named "Forgo's Treasures" in English, which also hints at this possibility.[[/labelnote]] If they hadn't done this, there would be no way for Kirby to evolve his Copy Abilities at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop!
