''Klonoa: Familiar and New Dreams'' is a fan-written finale to the VideoGame/{{Klonoa}} series, detailing a potential way the eponymous dream traveller's adventures can end.

The first 42 chapters see Klonoa returning to Phantomile 7 years after the events of ''Door to Phantomile''. With the help of a "cabbit" named Kio, he sets out to find out why he's been called back after all this time - eventually working towards defeating the ultimate nightmare and freeing himself of his title as the dream traveller.

Chapter 43 onward picks up 15 years later, following Klonoa Jr and Lolo Jr as the former sets out to become a true hero alongside Guntz and Pango, and the latter sets out to become a full priestess. This half of the story adapts the [[NoExportForYou Japan-exclusive]] UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game ''Klonoa Heroes: The Legendary Star Medal''.

The first chapter was published on February 28, 2018, and the last chapter was published on February 15, 2019.

!!This fan work contains examples of:
* AbandonShip: Klonoa Jr, Guntz, and Pango do this when their rocket is targeted by the Lunar Base's defense system. Since said rocket doesn't have any escape pods or spacesuits, this means the trio has to ''leap out into the vacuum of space unprotected''. [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace They survive.]]
* AbusiveParents: Pisutolo, when he takes Guntz in after the latter's father died.
* AdaptationalBadass: Balue is revealed to have been a great fighter many years back, and can still bulk up for a good fight when the time comes for it. He's also a more competent trainer to Klonoa and his son than his ''Klonoa Heroes'' counterpart was to Klonoa.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Guntz's {{Jerkass}} tendencies are [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] here compared to his portrayal in ''Klonoa Heroes'', as is Klonoa Jr's short-tempered nature compared to ''Heroes'' Klonoa - possibly to make them more sympathetic.
* AdaptedOut: Several elements from the ''Klonoa Heroes'' game are left out of this fanfiction, and plot points revolving around them are handled in different ways:
** Lolo Jr has none of the clumsiness that her mother had, and thus has no reason to fall into the Sky Temple's waterway and be fished out by Joka. So, the latter instead ''sets the Sky Temple on fire'' and kidnaps Lolo Jr during the chaos.
** Because this fanfiction connects the stories of the main ''Klonoa'' universe and the ''Klonoa Heroes'' universe, any mention of Nahatomb being a former hero is nonexistent. So, instead of Garlen using Lolo's prayers to concentrate the world's nightmares to awaken said "hero" and claim his Star Medal, he instead plans on using Lolo Jr as a sacrifice to awaken the original Nahatomb from ''Door to Phantomiie''... the one that just wanted to destroy the world.
* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: The adult Klonoa would always tell his son stories about a "dream traveller" who saved many worlds in his lifetime... eventually giving up the position to be with the ones he loves. It's not until Klonoa Jr encounters Joka at the Sky Temple when he learns that the dream traveller from these stories is Klonoa himself.
* AstralFinale: The last stretch of both arcs take place outside of the heroes' home world (an uninhabited planet for the Tenebrae Hue fight, and the moon for the last fights against Janga, Joka, Garlen, and Nahatomb).
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Applies to presumably everyone who has to venture out into the stars, including Klonoa and his son. Though the latter meets several astronauts on the moon who ''do'' have to wear spacesuits. Plus, Guntz initially panics over the thought of being exposed to the vacuum of space during the AbandonShip sequence above.
* BloodierAndGorier: Most of the violence depicted here is more graphic compared to what the games would normally show, with characters shooting others in the head, certain attacks leaving behind bloodied holes in their victims... hell, even Janga now ''stabs his victims' bodies through'' with his [[PoisonousPerson poison claws]], instead of just scratching them.
* TheCameo: During Klonoa Jr's journey, he runs into and starts dating Adeline from ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'', and briefly fights alongside Susumu Hori[[note]]who was the focus of a side quest in ''Klonoa Heroes''[[/note]] from ''VideoGame/MrDriller''. Lolo Jr eventually starts dating the latter.
** VideoGame/{{Kirby}} and VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog also appear in flashbacks, as opponents Klonoa has faced previously.
* ChildSoldier: After making a truce with the heroes, Clawford reveals that he was taken from his family at age 7, like his father before him, and forced unwillingly to fight for Jugpot for the past 9 years.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: During the ''Klonoa Heroes'' arc when compared to the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance game:
** In the game, [[MonsterClown Joka]] is killed by the heroes at Volk City. Here, his presence at Volk [[ActuallyADoombot turned out to be just a second clone]], and he's finally KilledOffForReal at the Lunar Base.
** While Garlen was absorbed by Nahatomb in the game, he's killed by the heroes here for ordering the hit on Guntz's father, and for [[DirtyOldMan perving out on Lolo Jr.]]
** Speaking of Nahatomb, the game had him killed by the heroes and everyone who was trapped in nightmares, as they sent all of their positive dreams to overwhelm him. Because the nightmare element was AdaptedOut, he instead dies by losing a BeamOWar to Klonoa Jr.
* DirtyOldMan:
** Balue, upon seeing the 15-year-old Lolo, develops an attraction to her. This continues into her adulthood, as he continues to ask Klonoa and son for pictures of her (or her daughter) in underwear, swimwear, etc.
** Garlen seems to exhibit this when trying to convince Lolo Jr to cooperate with him, as he says it's been lonely at the Lunar Base without his men... even going so far as to ''lick her face''. The heroes, who were watching on a surveillance monitor, are appropriately [[{{Squick}} squicked out]].
* EarthShatteringKaBoom: One of Tenebrae Hue's attacks causes a drawn-out version of this during his fight with Klonoa and co.
** During Klonoa and Kirby's fight, the energy they exude causes them to ''blow up the latter's home planet''. It reforms after some time, though.
* GoldenSuperMode: Both Klonoa and his son can enter this when enraged enough. The former even fought VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog to see what the latter's own SuperMode was like.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: After having 2 dreams regarding his separations from Huepow and Lolo, Klonoa tearfully decides that if being a dream traveller means always being separated from those he cares for, then he doesn't want that title anymore. His determination to get rid of this title by defeating the ultimate nightmare is eventually what helps him master his KiManipulation abilities.
* ItsPersonal: If you ever go through with kidnapping Lolo Jr, expect her brother to hunt you down to the ends of the universe to get her back.
** Joka still holds a grudge against Klonoa for humiliating him in front of Ghadius... so much so that when they confront each other at Jugpot, Joka demands that Klonoa fight him alone, without anyone powering his wind ring. [[spoiler:Klonoa still beats him.]]
*** This grudge seems to extend to Klonoa's family as well, as while Joka says any priestess will work as a sacrifice for Nahatomb, he specifically targets Lolo Jr, as her appearance reminds him of the now-adult Lolo, Klonoa's love interest-turned-wife.
*** During their encounter at the Sky Temple, Klonoa Jr takes advantage of this grudge to provoke Joka into fighting him instead of escaping, and wring some useful information out of the MonsterClown.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Klonoa's grudge against Joka for [[YouKilledMyFather killing his grandfather]] is more pronounced here than it was in ''Door to Phantomile''. So much so that when he kills Joka unaided, he scream-cries in relief that his grandfather has finally been avenged properly.
* KiManipulation: Known as "Fighting Spirit" here, one's ability to use it is awoken by a strong will to fight for something. While Klonoa, Balue, and Sorrow were able to master this ability on their own, the High Priestess trains them - along with Huepow, Kio, Clawford, and Popka - to enhance it.
* OCStandIn:
** The Prince of Sorrow is stated by the author to be an older version of the baby King of Sorrow that we see during ''Lunatea's Veil's'' credits.
** Tenebrae Hue, the GenericDoomsdayVillain from ''Dream Traveller of Noctis Sol'', is reimagined here as the ultimate nightmare Klonoa must beat to be rid of his title as the dream traveller.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:
** More often than not, the Prince of Sorrow will have people refer to him as Sorrow.
** Klonoa Jr and Lolo Jr usually just call themselves Klonoa and Lolo, respectively, in casual conversation. Same goes with their close friends.
* OriginalCharacter:
** Klonoa and Lolo's children, Klonoa Jr and Lolo Jr; based on Klonoa and Lolo from ''Klonoa Heroes''.
** Kio, a Breezegale "cabbit" who accompanies Klonoa during his return to Phantomile, and later hosts his own radio station.
** Clawford, a soldier from Jugpot who comes from a long line of fighters, [[spoiler:and whose death at the hands of Tenebrae Hue helps awaken Klonoa's GoldenSuperMode]].
** Tikosu: A resident of Forlock Forest who later opens a traveling food tent.
** Harlequin: A female MonsterClown who seems to be from the same species as Joka.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: A 10-year-old Guntz tearfully says this verbatim to his father, who was about to die from Janga's poison. The present-day Guntz does the same to Klonoa Jr as the latter falls unconscious from the same poison.
* PunnyName: The Shinigami[[labelnote:*]]Death God[[/labelnote]] Gang. Also applies to it members, most of whom are named after their weapon of choice: Butz, Pisutolo, Tanku, and Bazookatz.
* SerialNumbersFiledOff: Klonoa and co's fight with Tenebrae Hue borrows a lot of sequences and beats from Goku and co's fight with Frieza in ''Manga/DragonBallZ''.
* SpearCarrier: Hewpoe, the son of Huepow and Lephise, silently stays inside Klonoa Jr's wind ring, powering it for the entirety of the ''Klonoa Heroes'' arc. His only line of dialogue is when he comments on one of his mother's songs playing on Balue's radio.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Klonoa Jr and Lolo Jr seem to exactly resemble their parents as they appeared in ''Lunatea's Veil''. Several other characters even mistake Klonoa Jr for his father.
