History Characters / KirbyRecurringBosses

* AerithAndBob: "Kawasaki" is a pretty normal Japanese name compared to the more fantastic names of most of hte cast.

* CatSmile: Just look at his mouth, he always smiles like a cat.

A delinquent monkey known for wielding a massive hammer and tossing coconuts. Until the release of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' he was the only creature in the series known to give the Hammer ability.

* AxCrazy: Somewhat: ''Star Allies'' describes him as someone who'll smash anyone standing on his way, whenever he likes.

* EdibleAmmunition: He throws out coconuts--''exploding'' coconuts, in fact. In some games, he can throw huge ones.

* PlayingWithFire: Gains the Hammer Flip in ''Return to Dream Land'', which cloaks his hammer in flames for a powerful attack. His version of Hammer Twirl will also lit the hammer and the ground on fire.

* SecretArt: For nearly three decades, he was the only inhalable enemy in the series that gave the Hammer ability, aside from Heavy Mole's projectiles. This was justified, given that Hammer is generally one of the more powerful abilities in all games. Referenced in ''Amazing Mirror'''s Ability Room, where the Copy Essence for Hammer is Bonkers's head rather than a hammer icon. This pattern was [[BreakingOldTrends broken]] in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'', where the Mookie is a regular enemy that yields hammer when inhaled.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The anime portrays him as a citizen of Cappy Town and an ally to Kirby. This is likely based on his appearance in ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'' where he also acts friendly towards Kirby in the sole stage he appears in.

* ButtMonkey: Aside from usually being the WarmUpBoss in almost all of his appearances, In ''Dream Land 2'', his loopy-eyed glasses and breathing mask indicate that [[IronicAllergy he suffers from pollen allergies]]; in ''Super Star'', Kirby uses him as a feeder for Dyna Blade's chicks, and he doesn't seem on board with it; in ''Epic Yarn'', Kirby fights him [[NoKillLikeOverkill with the Tankbot]]; in ''Planet Robobot'', he goes through a horrific UnwillingRoboticization; and in ''Star Allies'', he is possessed by evil power, and [[WeakToFire you can set him on fire]].
* TheCameo: Appears in the background of the Waddle Dee battle in the SNES version of ''Kirby's Star Stacker'', the title screen in ''Squeak Squad'', and the Dream Land and Green Greens stages in ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

* DeathFromAbove: Whispy Woods' main attack is dropping apples from his branches. He may sometimes drop Gordos and harmful caterpillars (frequently as his harder incarnations). In ''Team Kirby Clash'' he also can jump around and smash Kirby with his own weight. In ''Star Allies'' he outright ''rains apples'' after he TurnsRed.

** In ''Triple Deluxe'', ''Planet Robobot'' and ''Forgotten Land'', he is replaced by Flowery Woods, Clanky Woods and Tropical Woods respectively, only appearing through keychains and stickers (though Whispy still appears in the Team Kirby Clash subgame in ''Planet Robobot'').

* FriendlyEnemy: He's sometimes shown to be friendly with Kirby, such as palling around with him and everyone at the end of ''Dream Land 3''. You can also choose to be one in ''Star Allies'' by throwing him a Friend Heart to cheer him up after you defeat him; he'll then smile and drop lots of Point Stars, food items and some Picture Pieces. In ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', he [[GoKartingWithBowser starts visiting Merry Magoland]] after his defeat, showing no hostility to Kirby.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Like many Kirby bosses, he would be impossible to beat without a Copy ability if he didn't continuously use an attack that provides you with ammo (in his case, his apples.)

* TheBerserker: Morpho Knight EX's pause description implies that its original version was holding back its true power. It shows during its battle, with it quickly moving and throwing attacks at a faster rate.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's "Poppy Brothers" in the ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' manual and "Poppy Bro Sr." in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: He's called Cook Kawasaki in earlier appearances, which is also his Japanese and Korean name, but Chef Kawasaki in English as of ''Nightmare in Dream Land''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's "Wispy-Woods" in the ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' manual and "[=WhispyWoods=]" in the ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' manual.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Originally known as Kaboola until her reappearance in ''Super Star Ultra'', where she was known as "[[DubNameChange Flying Fortress Kaboola]]" in the Japanese and Korean versions.

* DubNameChange: [[BarelyChangedDubName Minor]], but his Japanese and Korean name is Galac''tic'' Knight, although that was [[SpellMyNameWithAnS also]] used as the title of Galacta Knight's introductory video in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

* BloodKnight: Despite being voiceless, he's clearly just as eager to challenge strong opponents as Meta Knight is. His profile in the Japan-only ''Hoshi no Kirby Character Daizukan'' outright says he enjoys fighting, the only known description of his personality to date.

** Concept art for [[https://cdn.wikirby.com/7/7f/Morpho_Knight_sword_concept_art.png Morpho Knight's sword]] gives the one-eyed guard an unsettling resemblence to the Master Crown from ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand''. Interestingly, the same Japanese word, "susuru", is used to describe the way both of them [[SoulEating consume their victims' souls]].

* CardCarryingVillain: Unlike Galacta Knight, there's no indication that it performed any acts of heroism in the past, and its EX form's BossSubtitles call it a "Dark-Winged Disaster" in ''Star Allies'', while all of its descriptions refer to it as a "fluttering/fluttery fiend".

An airship-like mechanism armed with cannons, also known as [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Kaboola]]. King Dedede tasks her with patrolling the skies.

* ButtMonkey: In ''Dream Land 2'', his loopy-eyed glasses and breathing mask indicate that [[IronicAllergy he suffers from pollen allergies]]; in ''Super Star'', Kirby uses him as a feeder for Dyna Blade's chicks, and he doesn't seem on board with it; in ''Epic Yarn'', Kirby fights him [[NoKillLikeOverkill with the Tankbot]]; in ''Planet Robobot'', he goes through a horrific UnwillingRoboticization; and in ''Star Allies'', he is possessed by evil power, and [[WeakToFire you can set him on fire]].

* BloodKnight: Despite being voiceless, he's clearly just as eager to challenge strong opponents as Meta Knight is.

* DropTheHammer: His signature weapon is a huge hammer, which Kirby can get by inhaling him.

* CanonImmigrant: He had only ever appeared in "What If" side-stories, with his only appearance outside of an extra mode being his tenure as Aeon Hero in ''Super Kirby Clash''. ''Kirby's Return To Dreamland Deluxe'' would canonize the ''Kirby Clash'' games by having Magolor enter the Dream Kingdom after the events of his canon epilogue, thus making the Aeon Hero canon.
* ChasingYourTail: One of his attacks has him point his sword upward and then fire a laser from its tip that circles the screen. Kirby or Meta Knight have to encircle it to avoid it (or pass through it with an InvulnerableAttack). For his two {{Super Mode}}s in ''Super Kirby Clash'', he adds a follow-up where the beam sets energy on the floor that later erupts in an explosion of flame, which is then added back to Galacta Knight's fight in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe''.

* TheDreaded: He is an all-power warrior who was sealed away for fear of his unmatched powers. And with how many times he killed or outright heavily damaged his summoners, it ''shows.''
* DubNameChange: Minor, but his Japanese and Korean name is Galac''tic'' Knight, although that was [[SpellMyNameWithAnS also]] used as the title of Galacta Knight's introductory video in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: After some years of guessing, Star Dream in ''Planet Robobot'' finally gives some insight as to just ''why'' Galacta Knight was sealed away: he has the power to take out ''[[PlanetDestroyer entire planets]]''.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Translation errors led to his name being translated as Mr. [[JapaneseRanguage Flosty]] for ''Amazing Mirror''.

* KnightOfCerberus: When Galacta Knight enters the fray, you already ''know'' things will get serious.

* HornsOfVillainy: His mask notably has horns on it. It's unknown if he's really evil, but he's definitely destructive.

* WarmUpBoss: Definitely the easiest mid-boss to deal with.

* TheBusCameBack: She disappeared from the series almost entirely after the first game, save for ''Kirby's Block Ball'' and a very brief cameo in the Super Famicom game ''Kirby's Super Star Stacker''. She was excluded from Spring Breeze in ''Super Star'', before being brought back in ''Super Star Ultra'' and made more regular appearances.

* LightEmUp: Both of them.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: Mr. Bright.
* RollingAttack: Mr. Shine.
* SinisterSentientSun: Mr. Bright.

* TookALevelInBadass: With each appearance, he gains a new attack. In ''Return to Dream Land'', he gains the ability to fire a StormOfBlades which has since become his SignatureMove, as well as columns of lightning. In ''Planet Robobot'', he gains the ability to ''[[DimensionalCutter cut a hole in space itself]] and use it as a'' '''''WaveMotionGun'''''. ''Super Kirby Clash'' doesn't give him new moves in any of his fights, but instead upgrades his existing moves.

** In both ''Triple Deluxe'' and ''Planet Robobot'', he is replaced by Flowery Woods and Clanky Woods respectively, only appearing through keychains and stickers (though Whispy still appears in the Team Kirby Clash subgame in ''Planet Robobot'').

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Galacta Knight showing up at the end of "Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!" was already iffy and unexplained, but at least most are already used to him showing as a BonusBoss. Then that innocuous butterfly comes in and [[BaitAndSwitchBoss things take an even more unexpected turn...]] Morpho Knight EX's Japanese, Chinese and Korean pause descriptions reveal that the "space flea" part is literal -- the "butterfly of paradise" that created it is from AnotherDimension and it [[{{Psychopomp}} comes for the souls of those who should've died long ago but hadn't done so for certain reasons]]. While this information gives much needed context to its appearances in ''Star Allies'' and ''Forgotten Land'', why it decides to use its newly-manifested body to immediately try and kill Kirby and friends is less clear, and ''Forgotten Land'' confirming Morpho as a canon character after all only adds to the mystery.

* ChasingYourTail: One of his attacks has him point his sword upward and then fire a laser from its tip that circles the screen. Kirby or Meta Knight have to encircle it to avoid it (or pass through it with an InvulnerableAttack).

* PlayingWithFire: Only in ''Super Star Ultra'', he can summon a series of flaming spikes on the ground. In later games, these are replaced with [[ShockAndAwe beams of lightning]]. His fire abilities come back in ''Super Kirby Clash'', where his stronger forms add a fire aftereffect to his rotating laser.

* WalkingSpoiler: His very existence is a spoiler in every game he appears in; he's a secret boss in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' and ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', a True Arena-exclusive fight in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', a bait-and-switch part of a major lore reveal in ''Kirby Star Allies'', and the FinalBoss of ''Super Kirby Clash'', with two new forms, to boot.
