| 5 | An [[ArmiesAreEvil antagonistic army]] of {{Intelligent Gerbil}}s from a long-forgotten land, the Beast Pack are responsible for a rash of Waddle Dee kidnappings. They serve as the main antagonists of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand''. |

| 9 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 12 | * AntiVillain: Despite being the antagonists, they aren't inherently evil; [[spoiler:they're either taken over by Fecto Forgo directly or just following orders]]. |
| 13 | * ArmiesAreEvil: The Beasts weren't anywhere near as militaristic until [[spoiler:Leongar got brainwashed]], at which point they became the main antagonists of the game. |
| 14 | * BadassNormal: Very few, if any, members of the Beast Pack use magic or anything supernatural, instead using their own natural physical abilities or less-advanced technology. |
| 15 | * {{Birdcaged}}: They kidnap the Waddle Dees using specialized cages shaped like a lion's head. There's a funny bit of RussianReversal in that the ones doing the birdcaging are [[CreepyCrows Clockers]]. That's right -- in the new world, birds cage you. |
| 16 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To the Jambandran Cult. Unlike the Jambandrans, they are made up of a rag-tag team of walking animals instead of alien humanoids, and they employ rudimentary technology instead of magic. [[spoiler:Furthermore, the Jambandrans were willingly trying to summon Void Termina due to worshipping it, whereas Fecto Forgo mind-controlled the leader of the Beast Pack into becoming their servant.]] |
| 17 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Despite all of the crap Forgo/Elfilis made them go through, all of them are freed from them and they are able to restore their king thanks to Kirby and Elfilin, joyfully reuniting with him in the ending.]] |
| 18 | * HeelRaceTurn: After [[spoiler:Fecto Forgo is destroyed]], the Beast Pack have shown to have transitioned into a relatively friendly nation and ally to Dream Land. |
| 19 | * IntelligentGerbil: While technically based off of Earth animals, they are considered alien to Planet Popstar, and their higher-ups are shown to be quite intelligent. |
| 20 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pggx-Vgc84A This tune]]. It first plays when the Beast Pack is attacking Waddle Dee Town, and it reappears in the Mid-Boss theme, Leongar's boss theme, and [[spoiler:the map theme for Forgo Dreams]]. |
| 21 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: They look more like actually realistic animals in comparison to most other cartoonish ones in the ''Kirby'' universe. This also applies to the Popstar residents who fell in with their ranks, whose designs are tweaked to have more texture and feral details. |
| 22 | * NotBrainwashed: While King Dedede and [[spoiler:Leongar]] were both brainwashed by [[spoiler:Fecto Forgo]], the rest of the Beast Pack wasn't. They're simply following orders. [[spoiler:As shown once Forgo is defeated, the pack is [[NiceGuy quite pleasant]] when free from their command.]] |
| 23 | * PunchClockVillain: The figure descriptions imply this sort of villainy is common within the Beast Pack, such as how Awoofies enjoy sleeping on crates, how the other beasts love to pet Rabiroo and Orabiroo's soft fur, and how Gorimondo gets reprimanded by his boss for eating too much fruit. The mid-boss figures also describe how some residents of Dream Land willingly joined the Beast Pack; Mr. Frosty [[SignedUpForTheDental wanted a new outfit]], and Bonkers loves working with their fellow simians, the Mookies. |
| 24 | * SleepyEnemy: Some are asleep when Kirby comes across them. One notable instance in the Windy, Freezing Seas stage has them sleeping in a frozen cave with some food nearby. |
| 25 | * UndyingLoyalty: All of the Beast Pack towards Leongar. They initially show up to [[spoiler:corner Kirby and Elfilin after Leongar is defeated, which only gets them absorbed by Fecto Forgo]]. Later on, [[spoiler:they show up after Morpho Knight is defeated to restore Leongar's soul and revive him]]. |

| 28 | !!Enemies |
| 29 | |
| 30 | [[folder:Awoofy]] |
| 31 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/garlfi_art.png]] |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Foot soldiers of the Beast Pack, the Awoofies serve as Kirby's standard, rank-and-file enemies in the new world. They don't give any ability when inhaled. |
| 34 | ---- |
| 35 | * AdorableEvilMinions: They might be the grunt soldiers of [[ArmiesAreEvil an evil beast army]], but they're so cute and huggable that it's easy to forget that. |
| 36 | * TheCameo: Appears as a Dress-Up Mask in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe.'' Notably, it's the only Mook in the Kirby series other than the Waddle Dees to receive this treatment. |
| 37 | * CartoonCreature: Unlike their higher-ups, these enemies don't look like any particular animal besides being vaguely canine. They're sort of like foxes, but with red markings on the tips of their ears, front paws, and tails to give them a (very slight) intimidation factor. |
| 38 | * DubNameChange: In Japanese and Chinese, they're called Garurufi instead. |
| 39 | * EliteMooks: Primal Awoofies are larger and stronger versions of the regular Awoofies with darker colors and a fringe on their back. |
| 40 | * TheGoomba: Due to Waddle Dees exclusively being friendly [=NPCs=] and "collectibles" in ''Forgotten Land'', Awoofies serve as the weakest, most common enemy in said game. |
| 41 | * KillerRabbit: Noted to be cute but very aggressive. |
| 42 | * MeaningfulName: From ''awoo'', the sound of a wolf's howl and possibly ''woof'', the sound of a dog barking. Their Japanese and Chinese name comes from ''garuru'', the Japanese sound effect for an animal growling. |
| 43 | * {{Mooks}}: They're the most common foot soldiers of the Beast Pack. |
| 44 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Since the Waddle Dees are heroic characters in ''Forgotten Land'' and have been abducted and caged in vast numbers, the Awoofies take their old role as weak but cute {{Mooks}} that don't give Kirby any ability when he inhales them. The fact that their internal game data name is straight-up "Animal Waddle Dee" makes it especially clear they're intended as replacements for the Dees. [[LampshadeHanging The game even lampshades this too.]] |
| 45 | --> '''Figure description:''' A common beast that can be found all over the new world. They're pretty cute, but they have a dangerous wild side. They'll growl and jump at anyone who crosses them! A whole bunch of these critters attacked the Waddle Dees. Funny, you'd think they'd get along! |
| 46 | * VillainsOutShopping: According to [[https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1496319108098723841?cxt=HHwWgsDUzaGT_8MpAAAA the official Kirby Twitter account]], the Awoofies have a more gentle side to them when they're not trying to pursue Kirby, and promotional material shows them playing together and even snoozing cutely. |

| 50 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katfl_balloon_meister_screenshot.png]] |
| 51 | Seal-like enemies that grant the Bomb ability when inhaled. |
| 52 | ---- |
| 53 | * BallBalancingSeal: A large seal-like enemy which balances bombs on its nose before throwing them at Kirby. |
| 54 | * BucketHelmet: They wear an actual bucket on their head, although considering its tiny size in proportion to their bodies, it doesn't offer them that much protection. |
| 55 | * MonstrousSeal: They're seals almost three times Kirby's size that attack with a seemingly endless supply of exploding balloons. |
| 56 | * SweetSeal: They're {{Monstrous Seal}}s at first, but later become friends with Kirby after their HeelFaceTurn, along with other members of the Beast Pack at the end. |
| 57 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Use explosive balloons and grant the Bomb ability when inhaled. |
| 58 | * VisualPun: They wear ''literal'' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_hat bucket hats]]. |

| 61 | [[folder:Bernard]] |
| 62 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katfl_bernard_artwork_8.png]] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Dog-like enemies that grant the Ranger ability when inhaled. |
| 65 | ---- |
| 66 | * ColdSniper: The moment they see Kirby, they will shoot at him and even take cover behind anything they happen to be behind. |
| 67 | * EyeObscuringHat: Their eyes are hidden under their helmets, but it doesn't affect their ability to aim. The only exceptions seen in-game is when one's eyes pop out while being damaged by Kirby and [[spoiler:watching their fellow Beast Pack members get absorbed into Fecto Forgo]]. |
| 68 | * NonIndicativeName: Despite being named after the Saint Bernard dog breed, their appearance is much more similar to that of a Schnauzer. |
| 69 | * TheNoseKnows: Noted to track prey with their acute sense of smell. |
| 70 | * PunnyName: Their name comes from "St. Bernard", which is a breed of dog. |
| 71 | * TakeCover: They will actively attempt to hide behind obstacles, popping out from behind to attack. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:Buffahorn]] |
| 75 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buffalhorn.png]] |
| 76 | |
| 77 | An aggressive buffalo enemy that tries to ram Kirby whenever it sees him. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * BarelyChangedDubName: Called "Buffalhorn" in Japanese. |
| 80 | * BrutishBulls: Its figure description outright calls it "the brutal, brutish Buffahorn", and they're buffalos hostile to Kirby. |
| 81 | * PunnyName: Comes from "buffalo" and "horn". |
| 82 | * RammingAlwaysWorks: They attack by charging blindly ahead at Kirby, regardless of whether or not this will send them careening off into a pit. |
| 83 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Grizzos, being large mammalian enemies that have more health than normal mooks, can appear dormant until Kirby gets in range, and attack by charging at Kirby. |
| 84 | [[/folder]] |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [[folder:Clocker]] |
| 87 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clocker.png]] |
| 88 | The crow-like enemies that hold the Waddle Dees in cages. While not directly fought, Clockers are still a major part of the Beast Pack's muscle. |
| 89 | ---- |
| 90 | * AllThereInTheManual: The Chinese, Dutch, English, French, Japanese, Korean and Spanish localizations never list their name in-game, with only the Japanese and English names given in the June 2022 issue of ''Nintendo Dream''. The German and Italian versions list their name in the figure description for "Captured Waddle Dees". The Japanese and Korean names are also present in the [[Literature/KirbyLightNovel light novel adaptations]]. |
| 91 | * CreepyCrows: These crows serve as the Beast Pack's flying forces, caging Waddle Dees and later carrying off King Dedede after his first battle with Kirby. |
| 92 | * TheJailer: As shown in the "Invasion of the Destroyed Town" cutscene, they cage Waddle Dees (and Elfilin) by landing on top of them with their cages. |
| 93 | * KidnappingBirdOfPrey: While the Clockers are based on crows rather than larger raptors, the Beast Pack still uses them in this manner. |
| 94 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Smaller than even Elfilin, but capable of lifting heavy metal cages that are many times their size. Their strength does have limits, however — it takes a trio of Clockers to carry three Waddle Dees, and a small flock of them to carry [[AdiposeRex King Dedede]]. |
| 95 | * 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). In Italian, their name is "Cornabbia", a portmanteau of "corvo" (crow) and "gabbia" (cage). The Korean name is very similar to the Japanese one. |
| 96 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Black feathers, bright red-orange beaks, and the main reason the Waddle Dees are stuck in cages. |
| 97 | * RedOnesGoFaster: In some stages, there are red Clockers with purple beaks. These are set on a timer, meaning they will actually ''fly away'' if Kirby takes too long to reach them. |
| 98 | * RussianReversal: It's rather ironic that some of the few birds in the Beast Pack are the ones putting Waddle Dees in [[{{Birdcaged}} glorified bird cages]]. |
| 99 | * TheUnfought: They can never actually hurt Kirby, and they fly off when he collects the Waddle Dees they've captured. {{Justified|Trope}}, since carrying a heavy metal cage is hard enough work. |

| 103 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/digu_artwork.png]] |
| 104 | |
| 105 | Mole-like enemies that grant the Drill ability when inhaled. |
| 106 | ---- |
| 107 | * DigAttack: It's their whole gimmick. If they're not pelting Kirby with rocks, then they're attacking him from below. |
| 108 | * DishingOutDirt: Sometimes instead of using the soil to ambush Kirby, Diggahs will snatch up a rock from the ground and toss it right at him. |
| 109 | * DrillMole: Moles that attack by digging underground and grant the Drill ability when inhaled. |
| 110 | * StockAnimalDiet: Their figure description says that they often eat grubs they dig up from underground. |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |

| 114 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katfl_gnawcodile_screenshot.png]] |
| 115 | Crocodilian enemies that cannot be inhaled. |
| 116 | ---- |
| 117 | * DubNameChange: Called クロコガブル (Crocogobble) in Japanese. |
| 118 | * NeverSmileAtACrocodile: They resemble giant, super-deformed crocodilians and will snap at Kirby if he comes too close. |
| 119 | * NoSell: Attacks from Copy Abilities do nothing to them thanks to their thick armored hide. In order to stand a chance against them, Kirby needs to use a Mouthful Mode to attack. |
| 120 | [[/folder]] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | [[folder:Jabhog]] |
| 123 | [[quoteright:152:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jabhog.jpg]] |

| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | * DubNameChange: Called ニードホッグ (Needohog) in Japanese. |
| 128 | * NoSell: While its quills are out, it shrugs off normal attacks and inhales. It can only be defeated by a Mouthful Mode this way. |
| 129 | * SpikesOfDoom: Upon seeing Kirby, they immediately spike up. |
| 130 | [[/folder]] |

| 132 | [[folder:Mookie]] |
| 133 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katfl_mookie_screenshot.png]] |
| 134 | Monkey-like enemies that grant the Hammer ability when inhaled. |
| 135 | ---- |
| 136 | * BreakingOldTrends: In a very first for the series, they're a run-of-the-mill enemy that gives Kirby the Hammer ability when inhaled. Previous foes that gave Kirby the Hammer ability were almost always either (mini)bosses or boss-exclusive spawns (Bonkers, King Dedede's hammers, and Heavy Mole's yellow Drill Balls). |
| 137 | * GrinOfRage: Their figure bio states that the Mookies' wide grin is not a smile, and that they're really trying to scare their enemies. Which is [[ShownTheirWork just like real-life monkeys]]. |
| 138 | * JawDrop: One does this when seeing [[spoiler:its fellow Beast Pack members get absorbed into Fecto Forgo]]. |
| 139 | * MischiefMakingMonkey: Monkey-based enemies that are hostile to Kirby. They tend to hover annoyingly out of reach while throwing hammers, [[CheshireCatGrin grinning]] all the while. |
| 140 | * PunnyName: Their name comes from "[[{{Mooks}} mook]]" and "monkey". |
| 141 | [[/folder]] |
| 142 | |
| 143 | [[folder:Poison Croakom]] |
| 144 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katfl_poison_croakom_screenshot.png]] |
| 145 | Gigantic, poisonous frogs found in Originull Wasteland. Like Tortorner and Tortuilding, they are immune to all of Kirby's usual attacks and need to be defeated using Mouthful Mode. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * AmphibianAssault: Large, disgusting frogs that serve as obstacles to Kirby. |
| 148 | * AmphibianAtLarge: They're positively enormous, even bigger than bosses like Sillydillo. |
| 149 | * DubNameChange: Called ポイズンゲロム (Poisongeromu) in Japanese. |
| 150 | * KillItWithWater: Their only weakness is Kirby's Water Balloon Mouth, which can wash away the poison covering their bodies. |
| 151 | * LogicalWeakness: A monster covered in a protective liquid sludge coating would be vulnerable to [[KillItWithWater having it washed away by water]]. |
| 152 | * MuckMonster: A natural version. Their bodies are coated in poisonous sludge that makes them [[NighInvulnerable immune to most attacks]], and their very presence means they will be [[WalkingWasteland spreading it everywhere]]. |
| 153 | * NighInvulnerability: The poison covering their body allows them to NoSell everything but [[KillItWithWater Water Balloon Mouth Kirby's water blasts]]. |
| 154 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: With their googly eyes, they look like something out of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' more than a frog from a ''Kirby'' game. |
| 155 | * PoisonousPerson: They're covered by a layer of sludge which makes them NighInvulnerable, can spit up poison sludge onto the ground which lingers for a while, and areas they inhabit are often covered in toxic sludge that doesn't disappear normally and has to be washed away with Water Balloon Mouth. |
| 156 | * SuperSpit: They can attack Kirby by spitting poison at him. It also leaves behind puddles of the stuff when it hits the ground. |
| 157 | * PurpleIsPowerful: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Their bodies are covered in purple toxic sludge, which grants them NighInvulnerability and the ability to spit puddles of sludge out of their mouths. |
| 158 | * TechnicolorToxin: They're covered in bright purple poison, which they can [[SuperSpit spit up]] as their sole attack. |
| 159 | * WalkingWasteland: When a Poison Croakom is nearby, expect everything in the area to be covered in poisonous sludge. |

| 163 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sssnacker.jpg]] |
| 164 | |
| 165 | Large, snake-like enemies that try to attack Kirby. |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * BigEater: Capable of eating things that defy belief, and is indirectly compared to Kirby in terms of eating habits. |
| 168 | * DubNameChange: In Japanese, they're called ガブルネーク (Gobblenake) instead. |
| 169 | * FatBastard: Unlike most giant snakes, their size is more in their girth like a {{tsuchinoko}} rather than in their absolute length, and they're hostile to Kirby. |
| 170 | * SnakesAreSinister: Snake-like enemies that are hostile to Kirby. |
| 171 | * SssssnakeTalk: They don't speak, but their names are an example of the trope. |
| 172 | * 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. [[spoiler:A Sssnacker later ends up on the receiving end when it and its fellow Beast Pack comrades are absorbed into Fecto Forgo.]] |

| 178 | |
| 179 | Rabbit-like enemies that grant no ability when inhaled. |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * GiantMook: Orabiroos are basically Rabiroos that doubled in size. |
| 182 | * GroundPound: When Orabiroo gets near Kirby, it will leap directly above him and slam the ground in an attempt to flatten him. |
| 183 | * HairRaisingHare: They're aggressive rabbit-like enemies and their constant hopping will make it difficult to land a hit. |
| 184 | * MixAndMatchCritters: Seemingly a combination of a rabbit and a kangaroo, hence the name. |
| 185 | * PunnyName: Rabiroo is a combination of "rabbit" and "kangaroo", while Orabiroo adds the Japanese "ō", meaning "big". Their English figure description claims that the "o" in "Orabiroo" stands for "OH my gosh, look at how high they can jump!" |
| 186 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Orabiroo has purple fur and is a much stronger version of Rabiroo. |
| 187 | * RighteousRabbit: They're {{Hair Raising Hare}}s at first, but later become friends with Kirby After their HeelFaceTurn, along with other members of the Beast Pack at the end. |
| 188 | * StockAnimalDiet: Whenever there are carrots around, you can expect some Rabiroos to spawn nearby. |

| 194 | |
| 195 | A species of turtle found in Downtown Grassland, the first stage of Natural Plains. While normally invulnerable, Kirby can defeat them by using his Cone Mouth to impale them through their hard, concrete shells. |
| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: Kirby has to defeat these enemies by {{Ground Pound}}ing them with his Cone Mouth. |
| 198 | * CorridorCubbyholeRun: Tortuilding's fight consists of Cone Mouth Kirby either hiding behind obstacles or depressions in the ground to avoid its attacks. The [[spoiler:Big Red Tortuilding will oftentimes fire a SpreadShot of flaming debris projectiles, necessitating that Kirby hide behind a tall obstacle to avoid getting hit for huge damage]]. |
| 199 | * DubNameChange: Tortorner is called トータロス (Tortalos) in Japanese, and Tortuilding is ビルドトータロス (Build Tortalos). [[spoiler:The Big Red Tortuilding found in the Redgar Forbidden Lands is called レッドガルトータロス (Redgar Tortalos).]] |
| 200 | * FakeUltimateMook: Tortuilding is [[GiantMook absolutely massive]] and looks like it would be capable of swallowing Kirby whole. Just like its brethren, it dies in one hit. |
| 201 | * HiddenDepths: Tortuilding behaves like a typical reptile by seeking out high places that allow it to sunbathe. The game implies this is a very slow and tedious process. |
| 202 | * KingMook: Tortuilding is this to the Tortorners, being much larger and more aggressive. |
| 203 | * LawOfChromaticSuperiority: [[spoiler:The Big Red Tortuilding in the [[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.]] |
| 204 | * OurMonstersAreWeird: They're immobile snapping turtles with concrete sidewalk shells. Tortuilding takes this one step further by being a ''giant'' tortoise that inhabits a freakin' ''house''. |
| 205 | * PivotalBoss: While Tortuilding is merely a GiantMook and not a boss, it has the spirit of this trope, being an extremely large stationary enemy that Kirby has to dodge and eventually outfox. |
| 206 | * PunnyName: "Tortorner" is a portmanteau of "tortoise" and possibly "street corner". "Tortuilding" comes from "building" instead, since its shell is a ruined cinderblock home. |
| 207 | * SpeedySnail: Played with. While these enemies are immobile and rooted to one spot, they can bite at Kirby with surprising speed. ''Especially'' Tortuilding. |
| 208 | * SpreadShot: The [[spoiler:Big Red Tortuilding will periodically fire a huge spread of flaming debris projectiles, which requires Kirby to hide behind a large object to avoid]]. |
| 209 | * TacticalSuicideBoss: If Tortuilding didn't bite down on the damaged pipes near it, Kirby wouldn't be able to use the resulting geyser to kill it from above. |
| 210 | * UniqueEnemy: Only one Tortuilding appears in the game, at the very end of the Downtown Grassland. Kirby needs to defeat it in order to finish the level. [[spoiler:In the final level of [[LethalLavaLand Redgar Forbidden Lands]], a fiery UndergroundMonkey of Tortuilding called "Big Red Tortuilding" appears as the last obstacle.]] |

| 218 | A wilder version of the recurring MiniBoss, Bonkers. |
| 219 | ---- |
| 220 | * AmbiguousGender: Despite their masculine appearance, their figure description refers to them with neutral pronouns. This is strange considering their Gotcha Figure makes it explicit that they are the Bonkers of Popstar, who has traditionally been referred to as male. |
| 221 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: A more savage version of Bonkers who wields a stone hammer as opposed to regular Bonkers' wooden mallet. |
| 222 | * DelinquentHair: Wild Bonkers keeps their ordinary counterpart's pompadour, though it's much messier. |
| 223 | * EdibleAmmunition: Throws exploding durians in place of their normal counterpart's exploding coconuts. [[spoiler:The harder Forgo Dreams version can use this in a SpamAttack.]] |
| 224 | * HadesShaded: Wild Bonkers has somewhat darker skin than their normal counterpart. |
| 225 | * KingMook: Retroactively became this to the new hammer-wielding Mookie enemies, which they get along with very well. |
| 226 | * TribalFacePaint: They have some red war paint around their eyes and on their arms, indicating their more bestial nature than normal. |

| 234 | A wilder version of the recurring MiniBoss, Mr. Frosty. |
| 235 | ---- |
| 236 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: The rip in the back of his overalls isn't just for the sake of a funny animation — he takes more damage from behind. |
| 237 | * BarelyChangedDubName: He's called ワイルドフロスト (Wild Frost) in Japanese. |
| 238 | * CarpetOfVirility: Has a rather impressive carpet of exposed blue fur. It's especially noticeable because Mr. Frosty has never had this in any Kirby game to date. |
| 239 | * DeadlyLunge: One of Wild Frosty's attacks is charging at Kirby with [[FasterThanTheyLook surprising speed]]. |
| 240 | * FasterThanTheyLook: He might look like a big, stocky walrus, but his [[DeadlyLunge tackle attack]] is quite fast. |
| 241 | * AnIcePerson: He uses snow and ice-themed attacks, just like regular Mr. Frosty. |
| 242 | * PauperPatches: Has a gigantic patch on his bottom, which helps make him look like he's gone wild. |
| 243 | * RecursiveAmmo: [[spoiler:The harder Forgo Dreams version of Mr. Frosty can throw an enormous snowball that splits into two smaller snowballs.]] |
| 244 | * SignedUpForTheDental: In the English version, the change in wardrobe made joining the Beast Pack an easy choice for him. This detail isn't present in the Japanese version, which only says that he's [[EvilCostumeSwitch dressed up for the occasion]] in a "wild" new costume. |
| 245 | * SnowballFight: Unlike regular Mr. Frosty, Wild Frosty can roll up huge snowballs that are as big as his body and leave behind trails of ice shards on the ground. |
| 246 | * TribalFacePaint: The back of his head, his hands, and parts of his overalls have splashes of blue war paint on them. |
| 247 | * TrueCompanions: His Japanese Gotcha Machine figure says that he joined the Beast Pack because he felt they were "kindred spirits", and despite being a new member, he has a powerful sense of trust in them. |
| 248 | * UndergroundMonkey: An apparently feral version of Mr. Frosty. |
| 249 | * WildHair: He has a messy cowlick on the top of his head to show that he's become wilder than before. |
| 250 | * WilyWalrus: This version of Mr. Frosty is even more aggressive than the original. |

| 253 | [[folder:Wild Edge]] |
| 254 | !!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' |
| 255 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wild_edge_idle.png]] |
| 256 | |
| 257 | A wilder version of the recurring MiniBoss, Gigant Edge. |
| 258 | ---- |
| 259 | * AmbiguousGender: Wild Edge's figure description refers to them with neutral pronouns, whereas Gigant Edge has always been referred to as male. This is strange considering their Gotcha Figure makes it clear that they are the Gigant Edge of Popstar. |
| 260 | * BackStab: Kirby can make them drop their guard by attacking them from the back when they use their shield. This stuns them and leaves them vulnerable to massive damage. |
| 261 | * {{BFS}}: Wields one in their battles. It's not so big when ''they'' use it, but in Kirby's hands with the "Gigant Sword" ability it's, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin gigantic]]. |
| 262 | * DashAttack: After they [[TurnsRed turn red]], they use one of these, a lot like Gigant Edge did in the 2D games. |
| 263 | * KnightlySwordAndShield: Although they're never seen using both at once, since they wield a {{BFS}} and a huge [[SpikesOfVillainy spiky]] shield that's the size of their body. |
| 264 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: {{Subverted|Trope}}, because when they bust the shield out in the first phase of the battle, [[TacticalSuicideBoss they don't move]], allowing Kirby to easily [[BackStab hit them from behind]] and stun them. |
| 265 | * PeltsOfTheBarbarian: The biggest difference between Gigant Edge and Wild Edge is that their armor comes with a thick layer of fur, making them look like they're wearing a parka. |
| 266 | * TacticalSuicideBoss: They'd be able to put that shield of theirs to much greater use if they crouched in the corner and didn't let Kirby [[BackStab hit them from behind]]. |
| 267 | * TokenHuman: Well, Token Human''oid'', but regardless, Wild Edge being a heavily-armored humanoid creature makes them stand out from the Beast Pack due to not being based on some form of animal. Their figure description points this out, saying that they stand out among the pack. |
| 268 | * TribalFacePaint: Humorously, Wild Edge has some red markings painted onto their ''armor''. |
| 269 | * TurnsRed: Once they reach half health, they'll let out the stock ''Kirby'' monster roar and start using a DashAttack. They'll also begin slowly walking towards Kirby when they have their shield up, attempting to corner him. |
| 270 | * UndergroundMonkey: A version of Gigant Edge who's fallen in with the ranks of the Beast Pack. |
| 271 | * WarmUpBoss: They're the first mid-boss Kirby meets, appearing in Downtown Grassland. |
| 272 | [[/folder]] |
| 273 | |
| 274 | [[folder:Fleurina]] |
| 275 | !!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' |
| 276 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fleurina.jpg]] |
| 277 | |
| 278 | An all-new MiniBoss who gives the Tornado ability. |
| 279 | ---- |
| 280 | * BlowYouAway: Fleurina creates tornadoes to attack Kirby. |
| 281 | * DanceBattler: She can whip up whirlwinds with her ballet moves. Her figure description notes that she's dedicated herself to her dance career and thinks of every battle as a new lesson. |
| 282 | * DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: When Fleurina [[TurnsRed hits 55% of her maximum 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. |
| 283 | * DoppelgangerAttack: [[spoiler:Her harder variant is capable of creating a copy of herself during her spin attack. You can tell it apart from the original Fleurina because it's seemingly [[LightIsNotGood made of light]].]] |
| 284 | * DubNameChange: Her Japanese name is スワロリーナ (''suwaroriina''), a portmanteau of "swan" and "ballerina". |
| 285 | * FluffyFashionFeathers: Has a flowery feather crown on her head, and her tutu is also decorated with feathers. |
| 286 | * FoulWaterfowl: She's a swan-like MiniBoss that antagonizes Kirby throughout the game. |
| 287 | * IncorrectAnimalNoise: Despite being a swan, Fleurina uses a stock red-tailed hawk sound for her cry. |
| 288 | * LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler: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.]] |
| 289 | * PunnyName: She's a balle''rina'' who stirs up ''flurri''es while decked in ''flowers''[[note]]"Fleur" is French for "flower"[[/note]]. |
| 290 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her ballet costume has nothing resembling a back. Or sides, for that matter. |
| 291 | * ShoutOut: She may be one to ''Theatre/SwanLake'', being a swan dressed as a ballerina. |
| 292 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only mini-boss to be confirmed female. |
| 293 | * SwansASwimming: Fleurina doesn't show the "gentle" part of the trope, but her [[DanceBattler ballet-themed fighting style]] definitely shows the "elegant" part. |
| 294 | * TutuFancy: Wears a bizarre ballet outfit that looks like a tornado, which seems like it wouldn't give her legs much room to move around in. |

| 297 | !!The Beast Council |
| 298 | |
| 299 | [[folder:Gorimondo]] |
| 300 | !!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' |
| 301 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px_katfl_gorimondo_artwork.png]] |
| 302 | |
| 303 | A huge gorilla who's part of the Beast Council. He calls the Natural Plains' Alivel Mall his stomping grounds, and deals with any intruders to the best of his ability (which is to say, [[WarmUpBoss not very well]]). He enjoys snacking on fruits, especially bananas. |
| 304 | ---- |
| 305 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Outside of his first boss fight, he wears an anchor necklace in place of the Waddle Dee cage. |
| 306 | * AnimalStereotypes: A huge gorilla who's [[KillerGorilla hostile]], [[DumbMuscle a bit dense]], and who [[StockAnimalDiet loves eating bananas.]] |
| 307 | * BeardOfEvil: It's easy to miss, but Gorimondo has a very small white goatee. [[spoiler:Though, he's not particularly evil, and he redeems himself with the rest of the Beast Pack at the end of the game.]] |
| 308 | * BossSubtitles: "Strong-Armed Beast, Gorimondo". In German, he's the "Bizeps-Bestie" ([[TestosteronePoisoning Biceps Beast]]) instead. |
| 309 | * TheBrute: A gigantic ape who's high up in the hierarchy of the Beast Pack. He's a very physical fighter who uses his huge, muscular arms to [[TantrumThrowing toss boulders at Kirby]]. In keeping with his role in the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil, he's [[WarmUpBoss the boss of the first stage]] and not too much of a challenge despite his prodigious strength. |
| 310 | * ButtMonkey: {{Pun}} not intended, but any figure that mentions Gorimondo will probably bring up something bad happening to him, whether it's getting yelled at by his boss, losing to Meta Knight more than 30 times, or [[spoiler:[[BreadEggsMilkSquick having an evil phantom duplicate of him created]] by Fecto Forgo as part of their evil schemes]]. Worse, Gorimondo is the only boss in the game who can outright be [[OneHitKill one-shotted]] if Kirby hits him hard enough, since he does not have {{last chance hit point}} protection like all other bosses (not counting bosses with multiple phases when their HP is depleted like [[spoiler:(Phantom) Forgo Dedede or (Forgo) Leon(gar)]]). |
| 311 | * 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. [[spoiler:His [[EvilKnockoff Phantom copy]] does its best to keep Kirby at a distance, with shockwaves that travel much farther and faster.]] |
| 312 | * DarkIsEvil: He has black fur, and he serves as the first boss. [[spoiler:Following his HeelFaceTurn, he's more of an example of DarkIsNotEvil.]] |
| 313 | * DelinquentHair: Unusually for a high-ranked member of an army, Gorimondo has a [[WhiteHairBlackHeart white]] mohawk. Perhaps he's a silverback gorilla? |
| 314 | * {{Determinator}}: Part of Meta Knight's trophy description indicates that he fought Gorimondo ''thirty times'', and won all of the matches. It says something about the big ape that he's willing to take thirty thrashings from Meta Knight and still keep coming back for more. |
| 315 | * DubNameChange: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, he's called ゴルルムンバ / 猩猛霸 / 고르르뭄바 (Gorurumunba). |
| 316 | * EyePop: When he gets hit with one of Kirby's attacks, his eyes bulge comically out of his head. |
| 317 | * 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 Forgo Dreams phantom does it.]] |
| 318 | * GentleGorilla: He's a KillerGorilla at first, but later [[spoiler:becomes friends with Kirby after his HeelFaceTurn, along with the other members of the Beast Pack at the end.]] |
| 319 | * KillerGorilla: A stylized, [[TopHeavyGuy exaggerated]] gorilla who works for the villainous Beast Pack and attacks Kirby. The game doesn't shy away from showing off the fact that he has [[ScaryTeeth realistic gorilla dentition]], for [[RuleOfScary extra spookiness]]. |
| 320 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's large enough to wear some caged Waddle Dees as a necklace, and he's a major member of the Beast Pack. |
| 321 | * MundaneUtility: The Japanese version explains that he's in charge of "hauling" food instead of gathering it, which would indicate that he carries it all in his enormous, super-strong arms. |
| 322 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Gorimondo sets the tone for the rest of the Beast Pack's more photorealistic looks. Compare him to a real-life gorilla, and you'll see just how true to life his design is. |
| 323 | * PrimalChestPound: He's a gorilla, so naturally he pounds his chest just before you fight him and when he TurnsRed. |
| 324 | * RecurringBossTemplate: According to an issue of ''Nintendo Dream'', Gorimondo's attack patterns and overall boss fight were inspired by Void Termina, the FinalBoss of [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies the previous game]], because the same person, Katsuyoshi Sumitomo, created and programmed both bosses. [[spoiler:It's much more apparent when you fight [[EvilKnockoff Phantom Gorimondo]], whose "[[ShockwaveStomp Goriwave]]" is directly inspired by Void Termina's own "Destructive Trample Attack".]] |
| 325 | * 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. [[spoiler:He's not really evil, though. At the end of the game, he redeems himself along with the rest of the Beast Pack.]] |
| 326 | * ScaryTeeth: The game does not shy away from showing off Gorimondo's unexpectedly sharp chompers. This is TruthInTelevision for [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/95/7c/2e/957c2eda3e901f16b3726cff93ecf917.jpg real-life gorillas]]. |
| 327 | * 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 the battle with his [[spoiler:Forgo Dreams phantom, 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]]. |
| 328 | * 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 Forgo Dreams phantom gives you a ''much'' smaller time frame to escape it.]] |
| 329 | * SquishTheCheeks: When Gorimondo grabs Kirby, he'll squish Kirby's body between his finger and thumb with a quizzical expression on his face before tossing him into the floor. |
| 330 | * StarterVillain: The first major member of the Beast Pack encountered by Kirby. As a matter of fact, he's even the first boss of the game. To show how downplayed of a threat he later becomes, Meta Knight even fights and beats him 30 times. |
| 331 | * StealingFromTheTill: He can't control himself around fruits, and ends up eating from the Beast Pack's supply of food because of his impulsivity. Leongar is no fan of this, and always yells at him when he screws this up. |
| 332 | * StockAnimalBehavior: He's a gorilla who does a PrimalChestPound at the beginning of the fight. |
| 333 | * StockAnimalDiet: Tucked away in a corner of the mall where he's fought, there's a large pyramid of bananas. His figure description says that he can't help himself whenever fruit's involved. |
| 334 | * TantrumThrowing: One of his main attacks is throwing boulders at Kirby. |
| 335 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:His Forgo Dreams phantom will show you the kind of bosses you'll be up against throughout the post-game level. His attack patterns are far less forgiving and his grab attack is much harder to escape than the initial fight.]] |
| 336 | * TopHeavyGuy: Like [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Macho Dedede]] before him, Gorimondo has a pair of enormous, strong arms and comparatively stubby legs. His BossSubtitles even calls him the "Strong-Armed Beast". Presumably, it's the weight of his upper body that lets him perform a ShockwaveStomp in his boss fight. |
| 337 | * 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 Forgo Dreams phantom has its own variant that raises boulders with tornadoes.]] |
| 338 | * 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. [[spoiler:Though, granted, he's not much of a villain and [[HeelFaceTurns becomes an ally]] along with the rest of the Beast Pack.]] |
| 339 | * WakeUpCallBoss: He [[WarmUpBoss isn't too difficult]] during the main story, but [[spoiler:the Phantom Gorimondo that takes his place in Forgo Dreams]] is [[LightningBruiser far faster and more dangerous]], setting the standard for the much harder postgame bosses. |
| 340 | * WarmUpBoss: Gorimondo acts as the first boss, and he's not too much of a challenge, having easy-to-read and straightforward attack patterns that ease the player into this game's boss fight mechanics. |
| 341 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Has a prominent white [[DelinquentHair mohawk]] on top of everything else, and he's part of a major antagonistic faction. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} when he pulls a HeelFaceTurn.]] |

| 343 | |
| 344 | [[folder:Clawroline]] |
| 345 | !!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' |
| 346 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clawroline_katfl.png]] |
| 347 | |
| 348 | A leopardess who wields knife-like claws, fought as the boss of the circus in Wondaria Remains. She's a major member of the Beast Council -- to the point that much of the Beast Pack idolizes her -- and a significant point of contact for the Beast Pack's leader. |
| 349 | ---- |
| 350 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: [[spoiler:Phantom Clawroline, her harder counterpart from [[BrutalBonusLevel Forgo Dreams]], has bright blue fur.]] |
| 351 | * AnimalTalk: Before [[spoiler:Fecto Forgo came to the planet and caused her, Leongar, and the rest of the Beast Pack to start speaking in a strange language -- namely, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the one you have selected in-game]] -- Clawroline (AKA Carol, her real name) would only speak in meows]]. |
| 352 | * BarelyChangedDubName: Her Japanese, Chinese, and Korean names are just Caroline; the pun was added in the localization. [[spoiler:Her real name, Carol, is the same in both versions.]] In the English version, it's stated that [[spoiler:"Clawroline" is an alias Carol took in order to keep tabs on Leongar]]. In the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, since she doesn't have the PunnyName, this is not the case at all. |
| 353 | * BlackCloak: Briefly shown wearing one before [[TheCoatsAreOff tossing it aside]] for the boss battle... not like she needs it, since her uncloaked self is prominently advertised in promotional material. |
| 354 | * BossSubtitles: "Lethal Leopard, Clawroline". In Japanese, "Clawed Leopardess, Caroline". |
| 355 | * BouncingBattler: She has a tendency to jump high up to the rafters of the circus tent, using this position to throw Thrill Edges at Kirby and pounce down onto him. |
| 356 | * TheCameo: Appears as a Dress-Up Mask in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe.'' |
| 357 | * CatNinja: More subtle than most examples, but Clawroline is a feline who has plenty of classic ninja moves down to a T. She initially [[TheCoatsAreOff disguises herself]] (with a cape that she dramatically tosses to one side), [[StockNinjaWeaponry predominantly uses hidden bladed weapons]] (in the form of her throwing knives and her own razor-sharp claws), [[WallJump clings to and jumps off of walls]], can [[SmokeOut teleport short distances in a puff of smoke]], and [[spoiler:as Phantom Clawroline, can [[DoppelgangerAttack split herself into multiple copies to attack]]]]. |
| 358 | * ChekhovsGunman: She initially seems to be the boss of Wonderia and nothing more, but she turns out to be [[spoiler:the former queen of the beasts, and in the post-game, she saves Elfilin after his HeroicSacrifice and asks Kirby to save Leongar]]. |
| 359 | * TheCoatsAreOff: She's first spotted wearing a BlackCloak, which she rather dramatically hurls aside for her battle with Kirby. |
| 360 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 361 | ** Retroactively to Grand Doomer as of ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand 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.]] |
| 362 | ** 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/Elfilis]] 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. |
| 363 | * DarkActionGirl: Subverted. She’s fighting against Kirby and has joined the Beast Pack, but [[spoiler:only to keep an eye on her husband Leongar, who's been acting suspicious]]. |
| 364 | * DeviousDaggers: One of her attacks, "Thrill Edge", has her flinging knives at you from the top of the poles around her arena. [[spoiler:Phantom Clawroline can throw them while on the ground as well.]] |
| 365 | * DoppelgangerAttack: [[spoiler:Phantom Clawroline from Forgo Dreams can create three copies of herself, which then pounce on Kirby all in a row.]] |
| 366 | * ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Her eyelids are covered in glittering [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]] eyeliner, and she's a member of the Beast Pack. [[spoiler:She isn't really evil, though.]] |
| 367 | * FlechetteStorm: After she TurnsRed, one of her new attacks is climbing up to a higher position and throwing several knives at Kirby. These can be inhaled for the Sword ability. |
| 368 | * FragileSpeedster: Moves very quickly and can move out of range, but tends to have rather low health for a boss. |
| 369 | * FurryReminder: She normally maintains both the posture and attitude of a SexyCatPerson, but she sometimes performs actions that show she's still a genuine feline, such as getting on all fours, arching her back, dilating her eyes, and hissing when she gets really angry. |
| 370 | * GeoEffects: Once the second phase kicks in, she starts clinging to the poles surrounding the arena to attack from up high. When that happens, you can't attack her until she comes back down, unless you happen to have the Ranger ability (which is also required for one of the stage's missions). |
| 371 | * HissBeforeFleeing: After her [=HP=] reaches half, she hisses at Kirby before jumping onto the nearby poles to follow up with knife throws. |
| 372 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: [[spoiler:With her husband, Leongar.]] |
| 373 | * HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Unlike Gorimondo and Sillydillo, her design is much more humanoid and features a very prominent hourglass figure. [[spoiler:This matches with Leongar, as well.]] |
| 374 | * IncorrectAnimalNoise: Clawroline's voice clips were made using the meows of a [[LarynxDissonance male]] house cat, so she has a high-pitched, feminine meow. [[https://youtu.be/BnEZfNJtfVo?t=32 Real leopards make a much deeper, harsher sound]]. |
| 375 | * KingIncognito: [[spoiler:Turns out to be Leongar's queen. In the post-game, she tasks Kirby with saving her husband from Fecto Forgo's clutches.]] |
| 376 | * LarynxDissonance: She is voiced by Shinya Kumazaki's male pet cat, Sora-kun. Ironically, [[IncorrectAnimalNoise he gives her a much higher and more pleasant voice than she would have in real life]]. |
| 377 | * LeftStuckAfterAttack: After she does her claw smash, her claws get temporarily stuck in the platform, allowing Kirby to get a few hits on her when she's left defenseless. |
| 378 | * MakeupIsEvil: On top of her ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow, she also has painted claws. She's one of the villainous bosses of the game, [[spoiler:at least at first glance]]. |
| 379 | * MsFanservice: Surprisingly for [[SugarBowl this series]], Clawroline has a FemmeFatale sort of design with an [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure impressive figure]] and [[MakeUpIsEvil makeup]]. |
| 380 | * NamedWeapons: The knives she throws are apparently called "Thrill Edge". |
| 381 | * NaturalWeapon: Clawroline's claws can extend to [[WolverineClaws ridiculous lengths]], and she can use them to slice and dice at Kirby. |
| 382 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Besides her shared textural attributes from the other members of the Beast Pack, her design is significantly [[MsFanservice more fanservice-y]] than any other ''Kirby'' character to date. |
| 383 | * PantheraAwesome: She's a badass leopard who antagonizes Kirby as one of the game's main bosses. [[spoiler:As it turns out, she's also ''[[KingIncognito royalty]]''.]] |
| 384 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She's rather small compared to the other Beast Council members, with her being around OneHeadTaller than Kirby while the rest are absolutely gargantuan, which is especially notable when comparing [[spoiler:[[HugeGuyTinyGirl her and her husband Leon]], with her barely being tall enough to reach his waist]]. However, despite her diminutive size, she's just as strong and dangerous as the rest, and in fact is somewhat deadlier due to being a FragileSpeedster, able to easily avoid you hitting her while also being hard to avoid ''getting'' hit by. |
| 385 | * PunnyName: According to the June 2022 issue of ''Nintendo Dream'', the name "Caroline" (キャロライン) was chosen to incorporate the words "cat" ('''キャ'''ット), "claw" (ク'''ロ'''ー), and "line" ('''ライン'''). The punniness is likely why the English version changed it to "Clawroline", which is a {{portmanteau}} of "Caroline" and "claw". [[spoiler:Turns out her actual name is just Carol.]] |
| 386 | * RepulsiveRingmaster: Invokes this aesthetic in her battle, complete with stylish [[BlackCloak getup,]] [[BouncingBattler high-flying acrobatics,]] and a KnifeThrowingAct [[FlechetteStorm with poor Kirby as the target]]. Fitting, as she's the boss of [[AmusementParkOfDoom Wondaria]]. |
| 387 | * SexyCatPerson: Clawroline is a cute, anthropomorphic leopard girl with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure, a rarity for this series. |
| 388 | * ShoutOut: Just like [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld Cat Mario]], Clawroline can use her claws to climb up walls. She even has a similar diving claw attack. |
| 389 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only Beast Pack council member to be confirmed as female. |
| 390 | * StockAnimalBehavior: Pouncing from a high altitude to attack. Also, like a house cat, she arches her back and raises her fur once she TurnsRed. |
| 391 | * SwordBeam: [[spoiler:Like Leongar, Phantom Clawroline can create an X-shaped energy cutter by slashing her claws. In the Japanese guidebook, the name of this attack, "Psycho-Crossing Leon" (サイコクロッシングレオン), is shared with Leongar's version of the move.]] |
| 392 | * VillainTeleportation: Capable of vanishing into a puff of smoke. |
| 393 | * WakeUpCallBoss: More significantly than Tropic Woods. Previously, both Gorimondo and Tropic Woods were stationary enough that Kirby could keep out of harm's way fairly easily. Clawroline, however, actively closes the distance between herself and Kirby, hits hard, and weaves between floaty acrobatics and lightning-quick slashes to keep you on your toes. Defeating her will require the player to match her skills with fast reflexes, a good handle on Kirby's dodging capabilities, and knowing when to counterattack. |
| 394 | * WolverineClaws: Her claws can extend until they're more like swords, and she uses these in battle as {{Natural Weapon}}s against Kirby. |
| 395 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Like a real-life cat's, Clawroline has yellow sclera and animalistic, slit-like pupils. These features help to make her look more evil. [[spoiler:Though, again, she turns out to not be evil after all.]] |

| 400 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sillydillo.jpg]] |
| 401 | |
| 402 | A goofy-looking but dangerous armadillo who's part of the Beast Council, making its home in the Originull Wasteland. It's been given orders to capture... something that it can't quite remember, so it attacks Kirby instead. Its main hobbies are spin-dancing and collecting random trash, which it uses to create papier-mache dolls. |
| 403 | ---- |
| 404 | * AmbiguousGender: Zigzagged. While his normal trophy description describes him as an "it", his [[spoiler:Phantom variant]] switches between "it" and "him". |
| 405 | * 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 he is the one behind all of the Kirby and Elfilin wanted posters seen earlier in the game. |
| 406 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Make no mistake, Sillydillo is no weakling despite being an utter kook. He [[spoiler:lures Kirby into his lair with a doll of Elfilin]], and if Kirby gets hit by his cage attack, he's even capable of capturing the pink puff just like a Waddle Dee. Adding onto his threat level, if Kirby doesn't escape, he smashes the cage for a OneHitKill regardless of health, something not even the final boss can do. |
| 407 | * BossSubtitles: "Armor-Plated Prancer, Sillydillo". In Japanese, "Spin-Dancing Armored Beast, Armaparapa." |
| 408 | * BullfightBoss: In the second and third phases of the fight, he'll attempt to roll into Kirby three times in succession. This is mainly to teach the player the importance of guarding and dodging; if you don't dodge, you're pretty much guaranteed to get hit. The third roll causes him to crash into a wall and become FlippingHelpless for a short while. [[spoiler:His Phantom version doesn't crash at all, removing the vulnerable state]]. |
| 409 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: Sillydillo owns a collection of dolls made of cobbled-together bits of trash. He also collects street signs and wears them on his shell. |
| 410 | * CompanionCube: In the second half of his boss fight, he pulls out a "dance partner" that's really just a doll made to resemble a female armadillo. One of its eyes even falls out of place when he pulls it out for the first time, causing Sillydillo to prop it back up. |
| 411 | * CreepyDoll: He creates and [[CollectorOfTheStrange collects]] papier-mache dolls he makes from bits of rubbish. He even owns a few that [[https://twitter.com/kirbydiscovery/status/1491834148180221952?cxt=HHwWgICjoZ7Qh7QpAAAA look like Kirby]], which does nothing to help his unnerving looks. [[spoiler:One of his dolls is modeled after Elfilin, which attracts Kirby to his lair, as Elfilin is currently in Beast Pack custody.]] |
| 412 | * DanceBattler: Both of his BossSubtitles allude to him being quite a dancer. Sure enough, when he gets low enough on health, he'll dance around the battlefield as an attack, using a [[CreepyDoll junk doll armadillo]] as his partner. |
| 413 | * DerangedDance: Sillydillo is both [[ManiacTongue visibly insane]] and fond of dancing, a pastime that only serves to underscore his apparent insanity. |
| 414 | * DubNameChange: He's known as Armaparapa in the Japanese and Korean versions. |
| 415 | * {{Gonk}}: All the Beast Pack members look [[NonStandardCharacterDesign considerably different]] from the rest of the ''Kirby'' franchise, but Sillydillo's huge SphereEyes and [[ManiacTongue wagging tongue]] make him look absolutely ridiculous. |
| 416 | * GratuitousFrench: In the Japanese guidebook, both of the attacks Sillydillo does with his "dance partners" are in French -- there's "Pas de deux" (パ・ド・ドゥ), where he throws his partner at Kirby, and "Grand pas de deux" (グラン・パ・ド・ドゥ), where he performs a very long SpinAttack dance with the partner. [[spoiler:Phantom Sillydillo's [[InterfaceScrew sandstorm attack]] is "Soirée Parapa Screen" (ソワレ・パラパ・スクリーン), continuing the trend.]] |
| 417 | * HiddenDepths: He might look completely insane, but Sillydillo has an artistic personality deep down. He's so known for dancing that it factors into his BossSubtitles, and [[https://www.famitsu.com/news/202202/10250813.html a Famitsu article]] further explains that he creates dolls made from papier-mache and other garbage, and owns a sizable [[CollectorOfTheStrange collection]] of them. |
| 418 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: The junk dolls he uses in his third phase can smash into Kirby for a good deal of damage. [[spoiler:His Phantom counterpart can also throw exploding junk Kirby dolls as a new attack.]] |
| 419 | * InterfaceScrew: [[spoiler:Phantom Sillydillo always starts his final phase by creating a sandstorm, making his attacks even more difficult to dodge.]] |
| 420 | * TheJailer: During Sillydillo's first phase, he'll try to imprison Kirby in one of the cages and shake it before smashing it on the ground. This attack is a OneHitKill. |
| 421 | * LaughablyEvil: Seemingly the intent behind his name. His BossSubtitles also give the image of an armadillo clumsily prancing and pirouetting around, which is quite silly indeed. |
| 422 | * LuredIntoATrap: Lures Kirby into his lair by [[spoiler:using a caged Elfilin doll, knowing that Kirby is out to rescue Elfilin who had been captured by the Beast Pack]]. |
| 423 | * MadArtist: Sillydillo is fond of constructing dolls out of junk and papier-mache. He's proud of his work, but he's willing to [[ArtAttacker hurl his prized creations at Kirby]] in an attempt to capture him. |
| 424 | * MadLibsCatchphrase: In the Japanese guidebook, all of his non-"dance partner" attacks are puns off his name, "Armaparapa". There's "Areda-parapa" (from "Are da!", "it's that one!"), where he can potentially OneHitKill Kirby in his cage, "Nageta-parapa" (from "nageru", "to throw"), where he [[ThrowDownTheBomblet throws exploding Kirby dolls]], and "Barama-parapa" (from "baramaki", "mass distribution"), where he scatters the exploding Kirbys all over the place. |
| 425 | * ManiacTongue: His tongue is constantly lolling out of his mouth, though this makes him look goofy almost as much as it makes him look AxCrazy. |
| 426 | * MonsterClown: {{Downplayed|trope}}. While he isn't actually a clown, he has a bright red nose, and when viewed from [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/kirby/images/6/64/FLMCSouVUAMH1bd.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220210021657&path-prefix=en some angles]], it looks like he has a pair of big, clown-like lips. He's a [[MadArtist crazed doll-maker and dancer]], and he's a high-ranked member of the Beast Pack. |
| 427 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: His design is non-standard even within the Beast Pack and especially for the ''Kirby'' series, being more akin to a Creator/{{Rare}} character than anything else. |
| 428 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: Sillydillo may seem like a total loon, but he's one of the more cunning antagonists Kirby has faced. |
| 429 | * OneHitKill: One of his attacks is to capture Kirby in a cage and shake him a few times for some damage. If Kirby doesn't escape in time, Sillydillo smashes the cage on the ground and it's an instant life lost, ''even with extra health from life-ups''. No other enemy in the ''Kirby'' series, not even [[spoiler:Star Dream Soul OS]] with its LastDitchMove, can pull that off without relying on a [[TimeLimitBoss timer]], a [[PlatformBattle bottomless pit]], or a [[VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack smaller and frailer Kirby]]. |
| 430 | * PerpetualSmiler: He always smiles and never frowns, even when you defeat him. |
| 431 | * PunnyName: He's a silly armadillo. In Japanese, "Armaparapa" comes from ''arma''dillo and pap''parapā ''(パッパラパー), a German loanword that [[https://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/history/popular-papparapa/ roughly translates]] to "nonsense". In Spanish, his name is given the translation of "Armadiloco" (''loco'' meaning "crazy"). Its Chinese name, "犰魔亂舞/犰魔乱舞", is a portmanteau on the Chinese idiom "群魔亂舞/群魔乱舞" (Evil spirits dance in chaos) and "犰" (armadillo). |
| 432 | * RecurringElement: Like [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Hyness]] before him, Sillydillo is a [[{{Gonk}} ridiculous-looking]], [[ImprobableWeaponUser resourceful]], and [[AxCrazy slightly deranged]] member of a villainous faction who attacks Kirby by [[RollingAttack rolling at him]]. Also, Sillydillo and Hyness are the only bosses in their respective games' campaigns to [[TurnsRed turn red]] twice in the same battle (not counting {{Sequential Boss}}es with multiple health bars). |
| 433 | * RollingAttack: After he TurnsRed, he's able to roll at Kirby as one of his attacks, as expected for an armadillo. |
| 434 | * ShownTheirWork: Sillydillo's behaviour has a lot in common with ''Chaetophractus vellerosus'', better known as the [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=5hzu5zPHU1s screaming hairy armadillo]]. This species is nocturnal and lives in deserts. It preys on insects by digging burrows underneath animal carcasses and waiting for them to drop in. Sillydillo is fought at night at the end of [[ShiftingSandLand Originull Wasteland]], and he waits for Kirby to enter his lair [[spoiler:using a fake Elfilin to lure the pink puff into his trap]]. Most obviously, Sillydillo lets out a loud screech before the third phase of the battle, and, true to their name, the real-life version has [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=nPuOQxJOqh0 a very distinctive yowl]]. |
| 435 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Despite appearing to be an utter kook, Sillydillo is smart enough to take advantage of [[spoiler:Elfilin's kidnapping]] to lure Kirby to his cave [[spoiler:by using a convincing-looking doll replica of Elfilin]]. |
| 436 | * SmashingSurvival: If Sillydillo captures Kirby with a cage, the player needs to mash buttons to escape in time or else it's a OneHitKill. |
| 437 | * SphereEyes: Big white spheres with black, beady pupils. They help him look silly and crazy at the same time. |
| 438 | * SpinAttack: In the last phase of his fight, he pulls out a junk version of himself that he uses to spin around with in the arena before tossing it at Kirby after stopping. |
| 439 | * StalkerShrine: Having apparently taken his boss's orders to capture Kirby a little too intensely, Sillydillo's lair is plastered almost wall-to-wall in [[WantedPoster wanted posters]] of the pink puffball. |
| 440 | * StockAnimalBehavior: Rolling into a ball. |
| 441 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: [[spoiler:Phantom Sillydillo may sometimes use an all-new attack where he tosses his Kirby dolls at Kirby. Leave them alone for too long, and they'll explode.]] |
| 442 | * UnskilledButStrong: Has only 4 attacks, but all of them deal a lot of damage. One of them is even a OneHitKill. |
| 443 | * WantedPoster: According to the June 2022 issue of ''Nintendo Dream'', Sillydillo is the one who drew all the wanted posters of Kirby and Elfilin seen throughout the game's levels. The BossCorridor leading up to him is almost completely papered over in those posters. |

| 446 | [[folder:Leongar ('''MAJOR UNMARKED SPOILERS''')]] |
| 447 | !!!Debut: ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' |
| 448 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake |
| 449 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katfl_leongarpng.png]] |
| 450 | |
| 451 | ->''"Once the Great One is complete again... I know we will also receive this miraculous power. We, the ones they left behind in this forgotten land."'' |
| 452 | |
| 453 | The King of the Beasts and the leader of the Beast Pack, who gives orders from his home base in Lab Discovera. This imposing lion is the one who ordered the Pack to capture the Waddle Dees. It turns out there's more to his schemes, however. |
| 454 | ---- |
| 455 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Lacks any distinct form of clothing other than wearing two black bracelets on each of his wrists as well as his cape. |
| 456 | * AnatomyOfTheSoul: Leongar gets his soul shattered into many pieces during the post-game, and it's up to Kirby to collect them all and restore him to his former glory. It happens to him again after being freed from possession, but thankfully, Clawroline and the rest of his followers show up with his soul fragments right after. |
| 457 | * AndIMustScream: He's clearly shown to be in great pain while possessed by Fecto Forgo/Elfilis, 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. |
| 458 | * 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/Elfilis influencing him, however, he is completely sane. |
| 459 | * 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/Elfilis. Outside of their control, he's TheGoodKing. |
| 460 | * BadassCape: Decorated with large bushy feathers around the shoulder regions to signify him as the mighty and powerful chief of the Beast Pack. He no longer has it on in his boss fight. |
| 461 | * BarbarianLongHair: He has a massive flaming red-orange and brownish mane that mostly goes around his back and is a savage and powerful leader of the Beast Pack, fitting as he's a humanoid lion. |
| 462 | * BarelyChangedDubName: He is called "Leongarf" in the Japanese and Korean versions. Like Carol, his actual name, Leon, is the same. |
| 463 | * BattleAura: Once he TurnsRed, Leongar becomes outlined in purple and he gains GlowingEyesOfDoom. As Forgo Leon, he gets a shadowy aura that covers his face [[NightmareFace to frightening effect]]. |
| 464 | * 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/Elfilis was influencing all of his actions. |
| 465 | * BigDumbBody: He gets possessed by Soul Forgo because of his strength and power, becoming "Forgo Leon". This being a ''Kirby'' game, you need to [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim beat him up]] until Forgo loses their grip. |
| 466 | * BodyHorror: Is assimilated into Fecto Forgo, creating its main "face", and his body language in his boss fight makes his BreathWeapon look extremely painful to fire. |
| 467 | * BossRemix: Leongar's boss theme, "The Raging Lion Roars", is a dramatic orchestral version of the Beast Pack's {{Leitmotif}} (though it may be hard to notice at first since it's arranged slightly differently). |
| 468 | * BossSubtitles: |
| 469 | ** "King of the Beasts, Leongar". |
| 470 | ** "Possessed Beast, Forgo Leon". |
| 471 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: He's been under Fecto Forgo/Elfilis's MindControl for the entire game. In the post-game, this escalates to out-and-out DemonicPossession. |
| 472 | * BreathWeapon: In his second phase, he gains the ability to fire a [[WaveMotionGun huge laser]] from his mouth. Forgo Leon can blast the ceiling with this move, [[CollapsingCeilingBoss causing chunks of it to rain down on Kirby]]. |
| 473 | * TheCameo: Appears as a Dress-Up Mask in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe.'' |
| 474 | * CatsAreMean: Subverted. While he does seem like the main villain of the game, it turns out that he's only playing the "Mean" part by being brainwashed by Fecto Forgo. Outside of their control, he's pretty nice to hang around. |
| 475 | * CatsAreSuperior: He's a giant lion, which is a type of cat, and is the leader of the Beast Pack. |
| 476 | * CloseRangeCombatant: Like Gorimondo before him, Leongar mainly fights Kirby using swipes of his claws and other melee attacks... [[SubvertedTrope at least, at first]]. After he TurnsRed, he gains the ability to [[SwordBeam slice through the air]] and [[BreathWeapon spit laser beams]]. |
| 477 | * TheCoatsAreOff: He casts away his cape before actually fighting Kirby, [[{{Foreshadowing}} just like Clawroline]]. |
| 478 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 479 | ** 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 {{Anti Villain}}s because they were corrupted by the true villains of the game (the Master Crown and Fecto Forgo/Elfilis), 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. |
| 480 | ** To [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot President Haltmann]]. Both are the rulers of their factions who have a familial relationship with a member of their faction (Susie is Max's daughter and Clawroline/Carol is Leon's wife/queen), both have had their [[BrainwashedAndCrazy minds warped]] by the game's true antagonist, and on top of that, they are [[DevourTheDragon assimilated]] by it for the final battle. However, while Haltmann worked with Star Dream in a vain attempt to bring his daughter back due to believing her to be dead, which caused his mind to deteriorate slowly due to her not actually being dead causing Star Dream to suffer a {{logic bomb}}, Leon was forcefully mind-controlled by the malicious Forgo into doing their will, with there being no indication that Leon sought out Forgo on his own. Finally, while Haltmann is seemingly [[KilledOffForReal killed off for good]] when Star Dream is destroyed and after all traces of his soul were deleted by the machine, Leon gets to live in the end thanks to Kirby, Elfilin, and the Beast Pack's efforts to reconstitute his scattered soul after Forgo's spirit is beaten out of him. |
| 481 | ** 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/Elfilis's evil soul and spends the entire boss fight screaming in pain from the [[MindRape assault on his psyche]]. |
| 482 | * DamageSpongeBoss: An odd case -- he can take a good bit of damage in the first phase of his fight, but when his health drops to a third and he TurnsRed, he takes less damage than before, giving him a great amount of total health. |
| 483 | * DemonicPossession: In the post-game, Leongar's soul gets removed from his body so Fecto Forgo/Elfilis can possess him, becoming "Forgo Leon". |
| 484 | * TheDisembodied: Gets his soul forced out of his body and broken into hundreds of pieces by Fecto Forgo/Elfilis, who has ''also'' become this trope, during the events of the postgame. |
| 485 | * DisneyDeath: Appears to have died at first after being freed from his second possession, much to [[PleaseWakeUp Kirby and Elfilin’s sadness]]. Thankfully, Clawroline and the Beast Pack then show up with his soul fragments, reviving him. |
| 486 | * DistressedDude: In the post-game, he's been spirited away to Forgo Dreams and had his soul shattered apart and scattered all over the isolated isles. |
| 487 | * ADogNamedDog: Leon is a name that means "Lion", and he's a lion. |
| 488 | * TheDragon: To Fecto Forgo/Elfilis, being the one who commands the Beast Pack to find Elfilin and bring him to Fecto Forgo. |
| 489 | * ElementalPunch: When Forgo Leon TurnsRed, his GroundPunch move gains electrical effects which create bolts of lightning. |
| 490 | * EvilIsBigger: He's a giant lion, and he tries to kill Kirby. It's later subverted when it turns out that he's not evil, just possessed by Fecto Forgo after he influenced them to be more violent than they are otherwise. |
| 491 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Has a suitably threatening, deep voice courtesy of Creator/KentaMiyake, and he's the leader of the antagonistic Beast Pack. The "evil" part is subverted after the ''real'' BigBad reveals themself, though. |
| 492 | * FacialMarkings: He has 2 patches of dark orange streaks across the rims of his eyes. It's unclear whether these markings are from warpaint or the natural pigmentation of his fur. |
| 493 | * FightingFromTheInside: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, Forgo Leon's figure says that Leon's soul is making an active effort to resist Forgo's DemonicPossession, which would explain the [[ScreamingWarrior anguished screams]] he makes during the fight. |
| 494 | * {{Foil}}: To King Dedede, for a variety of reasons: |
| 495 | ** Both of them are the respective leaders of their worlds (Dream Land and the New World), but Dedede is a king [[AuthorityInNameOnly in name only]], while Leongar is an official king. Their worlds are also different, with Dream Land being a simple civilization largely consisting of Waddle Dees and other enemies, while the New World is a very modern society with a bunch of different animals. |
| 496 | ** King Dedede is [[LazyBum laid-back]], [[{{Greed}} greedy]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe egotistical]], but [[MrViceGuy still a good king]] in spite of never doing anything to prove his power over his people, whereas [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Leongar takes his role very seriously]]. |
| 497 | ** King Dedede fights with his [[HumungousHeadedHammer iconic hammer]], whereas Leongar fights using [[GoodOldFisticuffs his own brute strength]]. |
| 498 | ** Leongar, being an animal, doesn't wear much [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal aside from a feather cape]] that he [[BattleStrip removes for his fight with Kirby]], whereas Dedede is completely dressed. |
| 499 | ** Both of them are brainwashed by Fecto Forgo/Elfilis, 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/Elfilis 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. |
| 500 | ** Their first battle also involves Elfilin. For King Dedede, he gets kidnapped and is brought back to Fecto Forgo/Elfilis, whereas Kirby saves Elfilin upon defeating Leongar. |
| 501 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 502 | ** The cages that the Beast Pack use to capture the Waddle Dees are shaped like lion heads. That serves as a hint that a lion is (unwillingly) responsible for the kidnappings. Some stages in the last level also feature stone statues/totems which resemble lions, further hinting at the existence and importance of a lion within the Beast Pack. |
| 503 | ** When Leongar enters the fray, he [[TheCoatsAreOff throws off his cape]]. Clawroline also did this at the start of her boss fight, implying some connection between the two. During the postgame, it's revealed they once ruled the animal kingdom together. |
| 504 | * FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Despite being a lion, he has a humanoid body and walks on two legs. Once Fecto Forgo completely takes control of him, however, he switches to RunningOnAllFours. |
| 505 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he TurnsRed, his eyes glow [[PurpleIsPowerful bright purple]]. Forgo Leon's eyes glow through an aura of darkness covering his face, which looks [[NightmareFace terrifying]]. |
| 506 | * TheGoodKing: He once was, before he formed the Beast Pack. However, his evil actions were all done while he was being brainwashed and puppeteered by Fecto Forgo; when broken free, he's shown as a friendly king and his troops are shown to be very loyal to him after all is said and done, even as going as far as restoring his soul when it was shattered again. The ending photo of the credits exhibit this best, showing him happily befriending Kirby and his friends. |
| 507 | * GentleGiant: After being possessed by Fecto Forgo/Elfilis and then being defeated, Kirby and the Beast Pack save him by collecting his lost souls to bring him back, and the giant lion becomes friendly from then after. |
| 508 | * GottaGetYourHeadTogether: When he TurnsRed, he grips his head as he gains a purple BattleAura. This seemingly marks the point where [[BigBad Fecto Forgo/Elfilis]] takes control of him with their PsychicPowers, since he does the same pose again once Forgo [[GrandTheftMe hijacks his body]] in the postgame. |
| 509 | * GrandTheftMe: In the postgame, Soul Forgo attempts to take over his body, but Kirby is able to drive them out of Leon. |
| 510 | * GroundPunch: One of his attacks is to ball up his fists and slam the ground with both of them at the same time, creating a shockwave. As Forgo Leon, this becomes an ElementalPunch. |
| 511 | * TheHeavy: Leongar is the mastermind behind the Waddle Dee kidnappings and, later, Elfilin's capture. Of course, after you beat him, you find out who the ''real'' villain is... |
| 512 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: His wife/queen, Clawroline/Carol, only reaches up to his leg while standing and she easily fits in the palm of his hand. |
| 513 | * KingOfBeasts: He's the lion leader of the Beast Pack. His BossSubtitles quote the trope name word-for-word. |
| 514 | * LargeAndInCharge: He rivals Gorimondo in size and serves as the leader of the Beast Pack. |
| 515 | * MarathonBoss: Forgo Leon lacks the DamageSpongeBoss nature of the original, but that gets replaced with having ''two'' decently healthy separate phases, the second phase making it slightly harder to get hits in due to Fecto Forgo acting as independent backup, which is followed ''immediately'' by a boss fight with Morpho Knight, all of which needs to fought in a row with no breaks or breather waves. Thankfully, dying to Morpho only forces you to re-start their fight rather than the whole sequence, and Morpho is split into a separate fight in the Colisseuem, but the two-phase Forgo Leon battle still takes up a lot of time through both health and damage-avoidance. |
| 516 | * MeaningfulRename: "Leongar" is what Leon began calling himself after his fateful encounter with Fecto Forgo. While not as apparent in other languages, the part added to his Japanese name is ガルフ (garf) -- which is made up of letters that show up in Fecto Forgo's Japanese name, フェクト・フォルガ (Fecto Forga), symbolising ID-F86's newfound [[MindControl grip on his mind]]. |
| 517 | * MindControlEyes: A rare subtle example. When you first meet him, his pupils are small, but once he is finally freed from ID-F86's influence once and for all, they're slightly larger. Also, his pupils are gone altogether as his eyes glow in the second half of his boss battle, as well as in the entirety of the fight with him as Forgo Leon. |
| 518 | * MindRape: {{Implied|Trope}}. As Forgo Leon, he's constantly [[ScreamingWarrior roaring]] in what is either UnstoppableRage or total agony, brought on by Fecto Forgo's DemonicPossession. |
| 519 | * ModestRoyalty: For the King of the Beasts, he doesn't wear a crown. He does wear a royal cape during his MotiveRant, but it comes off once his boss fight begins. |
| 520 | * NightmareFace: When Forgo Leon TurnsRed, his face becomes wreathed in darkness apart from a pair of GlowingEyesOfDoom. He also ''keeps this'' for the rest of the battle. |
| 521 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Just like the rest of the Beast Pack, he has a more textured look and, aside from being anthropomorphic, looks really similar to an actual real life lion. |
| 522 | * NotHimself: According to Clawroline, he didn't always [[TalkingAnimal speak a language]], and he was simply the beasts' king instead of the [[ArmiesAreEvil Beast Pack]]'s general. This is because he's under MindControl, courtesy of ID-F86. |
| 523 | * NotSoAboveItAll: When Kirby and Elfilin dance after freeing him from the bubble he's trapped in in the post-game, he's initially confused, but eventually participates in Kirby and Elfilin's victory dance as well...[[OhNoNotAgain at least until Fecto Forgo possesses him again into Forgo Leon]]. |
| 524 | * NotQuiteDead: He appears to have been assimilated by Elfilis and destroyed afterwards, until TheStinger shows he's alive albeit trapped in Forgo Dreams with his soul shattered into pieces. The post-game is about finding them and rescuing Leongar. |
| 525 | * PantheraAwesome: An anthropomorphic lion who serves as the Beast Pack's powerful and fearsome leader. |
| 526 | * ThePawnsGoFirst: He doesn't join the fray himself until Kirby defeats a few waves of Beast Pack enemies or until Kirby attacks Leongar himself. |
| 527 | * PowersViaPossession: When Fecto Forgo/Elfilis possesses him in the second 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. |
| 528 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: He brings out an intensely threatening boast against Kirby. |
| 529 | --> '''Leongar''': We'll feast on your hide! |
| 530 | * PreFinalBoss: Once you beat him, Elfilin is freed and he and Kirby do their usual dance. But then Leongar's eyes go blank, and he starts talking in a much more stilted manner than before. Then ID-F86 opens its eyes... Forgo Leon also acts as this in Forgo Dreams, being fought immediately before Morpho Knight. |
| 531 | * PurpleIsPowerful: His BattleAura upon [[TurnsRed reaching 40% of his health or lower]] is purple, as befits the KingOfBeasts. The lighting of Forgo Land gives Forgo Leon in his second phase a dark purple hue. |
| 532 | * RunningOnAllFours: Once he TurnsRed, he gains an attack where he chases after Kirby on all fours and attempts to bite him. Given that the other animals under Fecto Forgo's control displayed similar feral tendencies, this is likely a result of that. |
| 533 | * ScreamingWarrior: Lets out hellish roars throughout the boss fight, particularly once he TurnsRed and Fecto Forgo takes total control of him. Forgo Leon is screaming near-constantly, to the point where it's difficult to tell whether they're Forgo's screams of rage or [[MindRape Leon's screams of pain]]. |
| 534 | * SdrawkcabAlias: In Japanese, the name he takes on after being possessed by ID-F86 is レオンガルフ (''reongarufu''); ガルフ ''garufu'' is a reversal of フォルガ ''foruga'' (part of Fecto Forgo's Japanese name), just without the ォ. This is made more apparent with Forgo Leon, who is レオン・フォルガ (''reon foruga'') in Japanese. |
| 535 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: In the Japanese version, he speaks in a very flowery and formal style, fitting for the KingOfBeasts. One [[OutOfCharacterAlert obvious clue]] that Fecto Forgo is speaking through him is when he drops this trait. |
| 536 | * ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: Sort of. When possessed by Soul Forgo, Leon gains a shadowy aura that covers his face, along with GlowingEyesOfDoom. |
| 537 | * SlouchOfVillainy: How he's usually sitting on his throne in a dominant kingly manner when Kirby arrives to his room as he adopts the balled-up fist-on-cheek position, with one free arm casually resting on the arm of his chair. Even his Gotcha Capsule figure displays him in this pose. |
| 538 | * SuperScream: According to the Japanese guidebook, his BreathWeapon is called the "Psycho Howling Cannon", which explains the loud roar he lets out when he fires it. |
| 539 | * SwordBeam: After he succumbs to his brainwashing and TurnsRed, Leongar can create X-shaped blades of energy by slashing the air. |
| 540 | * TopHeavyGuy: He has a large upper body and small legs, which is especially noticeable once he starts RunningOnAllFours. |
| 541 | * TragicVillain: He was originally a well-meaning and benevolent king before he fell under the control of Fecto Forgo, turning him into a vile ruler of the New World who sought to bring them to a "land of dreams" by bringing Elfilin back to Fecto Forgo. |
| 542 | * TraumaCongaLine: Leon wants to rejoin the original inhabitants of the New World after they abandoned the planet, but for his trouble, he gets himself brainwashed and turned into a glorified proxy for Fecto Forgo. Then he is assimilated into Forgo's body, trapped in Forgo Dreams, has his soul removed and split into hundreds of tiny pieces, and then, [[HopeSpot just when it seems like he'll be fine]], Forgo's Soul possesses him outright and forces him to [[FightingFromTheInside resist with all his might]] during one last battle. |
| 543 | * UpliftedAnimal: The only member of the Beast Pack who speaks a language beyond animalistic noises, because he's been brainwashed by Fecto Forgo. Once he's [[TurnsRed on the brink of defeat]], Forgo assumes direct control and starts speaking through him. Because of this, during the early days of his first encounter with the specimen, Carol stopped being able to understand what he was saying. |
| 544 | * VillainousBreakdown: When Fecto Forgo possesses him in the second phase, Leongar goes ballistic and ditches trying to claw at Kirby in favor of trying to violently chomp at him while RunningOnAllFours. |
| 545 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's not so much his status as the leader of the Beast Pack that makes him this (since the various cages that entrap the Waddle Dees have lion heads on them), as it is him [[BrainwashedAndCrazy not doing so of his own free will]], alongside his relationship with Clawroline. |
| 546 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Before fighting Kirby, he gives an explanation that he wishes to reunite Elfilin with Fecto Forgo so his people can also gain the power to travel to "the land of dreams" as his {{precursors}} did. It's then {{subverted|Trope}} with TheReveal that Leongar was {{brainwashed}} by Fecto Forgo, who ''clearly'' doesn’t care about the Beast Pack, all along. His actual self is [[TheGoodKing well-intentioned without the extremism]]. |

| 549 | [[folder:Phantom Beasts ('''MAJOR UNMARKED SPOILERS''')]] |
| 550 | !!! Debut: ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' |
| 551 | Inhabitants of the Isolated Isles of Forgo Dreams, these replicas of the Beast Council ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg as well as]] Tropic Woods and Meta Knight) were created from Fecto Forgo's thoughts and serve as weapons for them to avenge their prior defeat at the hands of Kirby. They serve as the bosses of the postgame campaign. |
| 552 | ---- |
| 553 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: All of them have an eye-searing color scheme of pink and blue-green, which they share with their creator Fecto Forgo. |
| 554 | * BossRemix: Aside from Phantom Meta Knight, their battle theme is "VS Psychic Power Given Form", an intense rock remix of the Forgo Dreams world map music and the Beast Pack's recurring {{Leitmotif}}s, "Plundering Beast Battle" and "The Smell of a Scary Beast". |
| 555 | * EvilKnockoff: Each Phantom boss is a stronger reproduction of another character. On a few occasions, most notably Phantom King Dedede, Fecto Forgo deliberately removed pesky things like [[VirtueIsWeakness morality]] when designing them. |
| 556 | * MyFriendsAndZoidberg: They're counterparts of every single previous Beast Pack boss in the game... and then there are Phantom Tropic Woods and Phantom Meta Knight, who are based on characters who don't have anything to do with the Beast Pack. |
| 557 | * ShadowArchetype: To their main counterparts. It is implied that when creating the Phantom bosses, they were created without the memories of those they care for (Phantom King Dedede, in particular, lacks any memories of Kirby or the adventures that brought them closer), making them less merciful and more willing to destroy Kirby. |
| 558 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To the Otherworldly Four Heavenly Kings from ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', since they're evil versions of previous bosses that were created thanks to the FinalBoss's powers. |
| 559 | * ThemeNaming: All of them are named "Phantom [Character Name]". |
| 560 | * {{Tulpa}}: They're implied to be tulpas of a sort, since the Japanese version calls them ''shinen-tai'' (思念体, literally "thought-bodies"). For creatures that are literally made of thoughts, though, all of the Phantoms are stronger and more aggressive than the originals ever were. |
| 561 | * UpgradedBoss: Every Phantom Beast is stronger than their original counterpart, with brand-new attacks and a more vicious fighting style. {{Justified|Trope}}, as Fecto Forgo deliberately created them to be as [[TheUnfettered merciless]] as they are themself. |
| 562 | * TheUnfettered: Soul Forgo created them to be every bit as merciless as they are, and that meant removing certain memories of their friends. |
| 563 | * VirtueIsWeakness: Fecto Forgo is heavily implied to have carried this belief with it to the postgame when it created these bosses. The Phantoms of Clawroline, King Dedede, and Meta Knight were reproduced from the originals, but ''without'' recreating memories of their most precious friends and loved ones, like Leon or Kirby. After all, any lingering attachments they might feel might cause them to hesitate in a fight, and Forgo wants them to [[TheUnfettered go all out]] in their revenge against Kirby. |
| 564 | * WalkingSpoiler: As expected, given that they were created by Soul Forgo. Phantom Meta Knight is an even bigger spoiler, given that it doesn't even appear until the Ultimate Cup Z. |

| 576 | ->''"Careful planning. Now wasted. No more planning. No more patience. Instead... '''EVERYTHING. SHALL BE. CONSUMED.'''"'' |
| 577 | |
| 578 | A mysterious extraterrestrial organism of immeasurable power. Many years ago, they arrived in the new world while it was still inhabited and went on a rampage. Eventually, the Lab Discovera research team managed to capture them and began to study their reality-warping abilities, which paved the way to the development of teleportation technology. One day, an accident occurred at the lab that split the original entity, Fecto Elfilis, into Elfilin and Fecto Forgo. Elfilin escaped, leaving Fecto Forgo seemingly dormant in the lab. |
| 579 | ---- |
| 580 | * NamesToRunAwayFrom/TheAdjectiveOne: Leongar refers to them as "The Great One" prior to his fight with Kirby. Given how {{eldritch|Abomination}} Fecto Forgo is, one suspects there's an "[[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Old]]" missing from that title. |
| 581 | * AdvancingBossOfDoom: Fecto Forgo's first fight isn't so much a boss battle as it is a very lengthy hallway chase where Forgo occasionally pauses to lunge or spit blue goop at Kirby. |
| 582 | * AesopAmnesia: Fecto Elfilis's Gotcha Capsule says that they are "already planning their next invasion" after reuniting with Elfilin. This indicates that they learned ''absolutely nothing'' from invading the New World, where they were captured, experimented on, and imprisoned for untold ages. Granted, according to the support guide, the New World was the first and only time Fecto Elfilis was defeated, having successfully assimilated various planets in the past. |
| 583 | * AliensAreBastards: Before their imprisonment, they tried to invade the new world (specifically described as "raiding" multiple species in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions) and very nearly destroyed the entire biosphere, until they were defeated and captured by the people that once lived there. After their imprisonment, they're one of the vilest villains in the entire ''Kirby'' franchise. Even more striking is that they have a working conscience and the capacity to be good ''and know this'', but they [[ForTheEvulz choose to be an evil assimilating conqueror instead]]. |
| 584 | * AllLovingHero: '''''[[TheSociopath Absolutely not]]'''''. But in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions of the game, it's implied that Elfilis ''used'' to be one (or, at the very least, [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood had the capacity to be one]]) before it grew too [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] for its own good and decided it would rather invade other planets. This turned out to be a fatal mistake, as this part of Elfilis gained a mind of its own and [[EnemyWithout split off]] into Elfilin. |
| 585 | * AllThereInTheManual: The full extent of Fecto Elfilis's backstory, psyche, abilities, and even ''life cycle'' are explained in the [[NoExportForYou Japan-exclusive]] ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide''. |
| 586 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Like most final bosses in the ''Kirby'' franchise, Elfilis has the attacks and abilities of many of Kirby's prior enemies. These include Marx's boomerangs and [[HellGate black hole]] (the latter of which their second form uses immediately like Marx Soul), Magolor's portal-laser combo and portal-tackle combo, Star Dream's meteor shower, Void Termina's BeamSpam, and Drawcia's paint rain, burning tackle and bouncing attack. They also gained the ability to TeleportSpam, shoot {{sword beam}}s from their spear, summon [[TornadoMove tornadoes]], and even create [[FightingSpirit spirit projections]] from absorbing Morpho Knight. |
| 587 | * AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Invoked. Once weakened enough, Fecto Elfilis will distort the otherwise regular sunset sky into a rainbow liquid mess of colors. Chaos Elfilis has this effect active from the start. |
| 588 | * AmbiguousGender: In most foreign translations, Fecto Forgo has no known gender, being only referred to with gender-neutral pronouns to reflect their eldritch nature. However, Fecto Elfilis's Japanese Gotcha Capsule uses "かれ" to refer to them, which indicates that Elfilis is male. |
| 589 | * AngelicAbomination: Fecto Elfilis has a very strong angel motif to their design, with "ears" mimicking wings, and is fought in a battle arena mimicking many depictions of heaven. And its BattleThemeMusic incorporates a pipe organ and a choral-like OneWomanWail, making it sound almost holy. It's no angel in the moral sense, though. |
| 590 | * AnimalisticAbomination: After absorbing the Beast Pack, Fecto Forgo transforms into a gigantic mass of sludge covered in various animal faces. Fecto Elfilis, meanwhile, resembles a humanoid creature with features from several different animals (most notably the legs of a deer, the tail of a fox, and the antennas of a moth, as well as bird- or moth-like EarWings). |
| 591 | * AssholeVictim: It spent an unknown amount of time as nothing more than an experiment and tourist attraction to the old inhabitants of the New World, lost the piece of itself that represented its capacity for compassion, love, rationality, and even ''intelligence'', and then was completely abandoned when the old inhabitants left, until it was found by Leon. It's implied from its [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=NbrrgtNK9Z8 true final boss theme]] (a nightmarish rendition of the automated tourist woman's speech from the Dream Discoveries Tour) that this had a psychological toll on it, but considering the reason it was captured in the first place is that it nearly wiped out the entire biosphere of the planet upon arrival (and had [[NotTheFirstVictim previously succeeded on many other planets]], according to the guidebook), it definitely had it coming. |
| 592 | * AssimilationPlot: Their plan is to assimilate Elfilin to regain their full power. When that fails and their body is destroyed, they change plans and try to [[GrandTheftMe possess Leongar]] in the post-game. |
| 593 | * TheAssimilator: |
| 594 | ** According to the official guidebook, the original Fecto Elfilis was the epitome of AliensAreBastards. It invaded various other planets in the past and assimilated the native life as it went, for no clear reason beyond [[AmbitionIsEvil its own ambitions]] and ForTheEvulz. |
| 595 | -->'''ID-F86's profile:''' ''An invading organism that travels the universe, flying across various planets and assimilating other life-forms. It was just continuing its invasive activities in the New World when it was captured by the planet's highly intelligent inhabitants as a research subject.'' |
| 596 | ** Once they break free of the Eternal Capsule, they absorb as many Beast Pack members as they can into their body, becoming a [[MixAndMatchCritters horrifying chimera]] in the process. After Kirby defeats this, they do the same to Elfilin and achieve their [[UltimateLifeForm perfect body]]. In the postgame, they even manage to assimilate Morpho Knight's DNA after his defeat, and this is after Morpho assimilated them. |
| 597 | * AssistCharacter: During the battle with Forgo Leon, Fecto Forgo will occasionally detach from their host to fire an EnergyBall or cause a [[UnholyNuke gigantic black explosion]] once Leon TurnsRed. |
| 598 | * AxCrazy: Once released from their prison, Fecto Forgo declares they will [[AssimilationPlot consume]] ''everything''. When Kirby defeats them, they resort to ''[[ColonyDrop dropping a planet on him]]'', despite (or perhaps ''[[OmnicidalManiac because]]'') this will kill everyone on both worlds. Somewhat {{justified|Trope}} on the grounds that Elfilin represents Fecto Elfilis's conscience and rationality, and with that gone, all that's left is, presumably, an [[TheUnfettered unfettered maniac]]. |
| 599 | * BadBoss: No ''Kirby'' villain is as cruel to their {{Mooks}} as Fecto Forgo. Instead of mistakenly [[AccidentalMurder killing their own minions]] during the boss fight, Fecto Forgo deliberately [[TheAssimilator assimilates]] Leongar and some other Beast Pack soldiers just so they can construct a crude body for themself. They later shatter Leongar's soul and [[GrandTheftMe possess him]] out of desperation to gain a new body after failing to absorb Elfilin. |
| 600 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: In the Japanese version, it's stated that Fecto Elfilis's invasion began when it attacked the "primitive species" -- that is, the native wildlife -- of the New World, causing such widespread ecological damage that it made the New World's scientists fear for their safety. As Fecto Forgo, it has no respect for the Beast Pack, as shown when it brainwashes Leongar and consumes the Beast Pack members who arrive to stop Kirby before transforming into a blob monster. |
| 601 | * BadPowersBadPeople: As Fecto Forgo, they have extremely powerful telepathic abilities, which they used to subjugate and enslave the Beast Pack by mind-controlling them. They can also possess other beings like Leongar, giving them great power but reducing their hosts to feral beasts. They're also one half of Fecto Elfilis, a powerful alien conqueror who sees all life in the known galaxy as beneath them and only worthy of destruction/assimilation. |
| 602 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: After Kirby [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim defeats Forgo Leon]], Fecto Forgo's spirit seems poised to attack him directly, and even gets BossSubtitles. Then, a certain [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth butterfly of paradise]] shows up... |
| 603 | * BarelyChangedDubName: In Japanese and Korean, their name is "Fecto Forg'''a'''" (pronounced like the English word "forgotten"). Fecto Elfilis is Fecto Efillis, matching the change to Elfilin. |
| 604 | * BeamSpam: Chaos Elfilis' final form loves to fill the screen with a dense amount of lasers and projectiles. |
| 605 | * ABeastInNameAndNature: Not only did Fecto Forgo corrupt the "animals" (アニマルたち) of the New World into the '''Beast''' Pack, its battle theme in its amalgamated form is called "Hunted by the Beast". It's a good indicator of the character's savage personality. |
| 606 | * BigBad: It's responsible for creating the wormhole to Popstar that sucked everyone in, and corrupted the Beast Pack into carrying out its will, all in order to become complete and dominate the world again. |
| 607 | * BigRedDevil: While not exactly a demon, Fecto Forgo's assimilated form has a disturbing lion-like head with crimson-red skin, and their other forms have demon-like abilities ranging from [[CastingAShadow huge explosions of darkness]] to DemonicPossession. |
| 608 | * {{Biomanipulation}}: The Japanese guidebook heavily implies that they have this ability, since Fecto Elfilis's [[HealThyself healing move]] is called "Genome Repairs", and "Act of Multiplication" (an attack used by Fecto Forgo's amalgamated form) involves it [[BodyHorror ripping clumps of its own cells off]] and throwing them at Kirby. This also explains how Forgo [[TheAssimilator assimilated]] the Beast Pack -- after it absorbed them, it used the resulting DNA to transform into a hideous ShapeshifterMashup of all of them. |
| 609 | * BishonenLine: |
| 610 | ** In their larva form, they are rather off-putting, especially when they [[EyeAwaken open]] those big blue eyes. Assimilating the Beast Pack only makes them look [[BodyHorror more horrific]]. When they recombine with Elfilin, however, their true form is [[AngelicAbomination strangely beautiful and angelic in design]]. |
| 611 | ** {{Inverted|Trope}} with Chaos Elfilis; their first form in that state is similar to their original true form, now highlighted with [[WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver red and white rather than teal]], and with black eyes instead of blue. After Kirby extracts their chaotic essence, the resultant form is a featureless red, white, and black orb of goo, with dozens of smaller red and black orbs orbiting it. |
| 612 | * BizarreAlienBiology: The strange form Fecto Forgo is usually seen in is dubbed its "Larva" state ("immature" state in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions). The guidebook implies that it needs to pupate, like an insect, in order to mature into the much smaller, [[BishonenLine more humanoid]] Fecto Elfilis. |
| 613 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: Chaos Elfilis has these, probably to make it look more powerful (and demonic) than Fecto Elfilis. |
| 614 | * BlobMonster: Without the energy to maintain a definite physical form, Fecto Forgo resembles a large bluish blob of gunk once they escape from the Eternal Capsule and promptly deform. Then they absorb the Beast Pack, and they become a mix of this and a ClassicalChimera. |
| 615 | * BodyHorror: Fecto Forgo's boss form is a [[MixAndMatchCritters hastily cobbled-together chimera]] made of all the Beast Pack members they assimilated. It looks like a BlobMonster with a red lion's head (not only that, but it's even implied to be '''Leongar's''' head, or at least a facsimile of it) at the center of a shifting mass of vaguely creature-shaped blue goop, and wouldn't be too out of place in ''[[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]]'' or ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''. Then comes the final stretch against Fecto Elfilis, where after separating from Elfilin again, their body starts destabilizing and begins visibly melting apart. |
| 616 | * BossRemix: Its battle theme is "Hunted by the Beast", a remix of the cutscene music "Sudden Metamorphosis" that plays when it escapes the Eternal Capsule. When it becomes Fecto Elfilis, "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit", a DarkReprise of "Welcome to the New World!" and "The Battle of Blizzard Bridge", plays instead. |
| 617 | * BossSubtitles: |
| 618 | ** "Invasive Species, Fecto Forgo". |
| 619 | ** "Ultimate Life-Form, Fecto Elfilis". In Japanese, Chinese and Korean, "A Perfect Whole, Fecto Elfilis". |
| 620 | ** "Psychic Beast, Soul Forgo." In Japanese, Chinese and Korean, "Thought Beast, Soul Forgo". |
| 621 | ** "Species Born of Chaos, Chaos Elfilis". In Japanese, Chinese and Korean, "New Species of Chaotic Soul, Chaos Efillis". |
| 622 | * BouncingBattler: Drawcia's Deadly Bound returns yet again for Chaos Elfilis' spherical second phase, and to complement the new 3D environment, it adds a ShockwaveStomp element so you need to do more than just move away to dodge it. |
| 623 | * TheCakeIsALie: Leongar implies before his boss battle that Fecto Forgo will grant the Beast Pack their miraculous power of [[SpaceMaster spatial transport]] if they can reunite with Elfilin. Of course, Forgo never intended on following through -- all they wanted was a strong body that would let them continue [[AliensAreBastards attacking defenseless planets]]. |
| 624 | * CameBackStrong: After its soul was absorbed by Morpho Knight, Fecto Forgo's soul not only manages to escape after Morpho is defeated by Kirby, but also ''assimilates Morpho Knight's DNA'', turning into a far more powerful form in [[TrueFinalBoss Chaos Elfilis]]. |
| 625 | * CameBackWrong: On the other hand, the Japanese support guide states outright that Chaos Elfilis has [[EmptyShell few emotions left]], and only moves according to its destructive impulses. |
| 626 | * CapturedSuperEntity: The scientists of Lab Discovera were able to capture and contain Fecto Forgo. From there, the lab was able to develop planetary warp technology by studying the creature, and then later turned them into a tourist attraction. |
| 627 | * CardboardPrison: Shatters the Eternal Capsule containing their body with ease as soon as they open their eyes. One can imagine they were just biding their time for when Elfilin was returned. |
| 628 | * CastingAShadow: As shown in the Forgo Leon battle, Soul Forgo can perform an attack called "Soul Crash", where it causes an enormous explosion of darkness around it. Its DemonicPossession of Leon manifests as an ominous, pitch-black aura around the lion's face, which is also seen on various brainwashed {{Mooks}} in the Big-Rig Mouth phase of Elfilis's boss battle and occasionally on {{Mooks}} within Forgo Dreams. |
| 629 | * CastsNoShadow: When Elfilis in both Fecto and Chaos forms uses their HealThyself move, the quickest way to bypass the DoppelgangerSpin part is looking below them for their shadow, because only the real body casts one while the illusions don't. |
| 630 | * ChaosIsEvil: Chaos Elfilis was born from the chaos of Fecto Forgo taking Morpho Knight's power, as well as the power of all of its and Morpho's previous assimilated victims. It's the TrueFinalBoss of the game. |
| 631 | * CharacterTics: Fecto Elfilis closes their eyes when summoning their spectral spears. |
| 632 | * TheChessmaster: Even without their energy, Fecto Forgo {{brainwashed}} Leongar into following their commands and used his power to control the entire Beast Pack, waiting for the day they can return to their full power and [[AxCrazy continue terrorizing the land]]. Even Morpho Knight's presence can be seen this way; as the figure description in all localizations mention that Morpho Knight was "drawn toward" Forgo Dreams, it is {{ambiguous|Situation}} whether they deliberately brought Morpho Knight into their [[DreamWeaver dream realm]] in order to find an even stronger soul than Leon. |
| 633 | * CivilizationDestroyer: {{Defied|Trope}}. Contrary to how many a CosmicHorrorStory usually play out, the previous inhabitants of the new world beat Fecto Forgo and turned it into Lab Discovera's premier science project. The only reason the new world was forgotten and reclaimed by nature is because said previous inhabitants [[HomeworldEvacuation just plain left it behind]]. |
| 634 | * ClassicalChimera: After [[TheAssimilator absorbing the Beast Pack]], Fecto Forgo transforms into [[BodyHorror their first boss form]], a lion-headed BlobMonster with several other species, including snakes, seemingly shaped from the goop. |
| 635 | * ClippedWingAngel: Their BlobMonster form is pretty weak; all it can do is slowly advance down the hallway, attack by biting or throwing slime, both of which are easy to avoid, and it's the ''only'' boss in the game that doesn't [[TurnsRed turn red]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since this body is makeshift and they can't sustain themselves without their other half. [[OneWingedAngel Once they finally recombine with Elfilin, however...]] |
| 636 | * ColonyDrop: When they're defeated as Fecto Elfilis and Elfilin is removed from their body, they ''tear Planet Popstar from orbit'' and send it on a collision course with the new world. |
| 637 | * ComeToGawk: The scientists that captured Forgo ended up using Lab Discovera as a tourist attraction called the Dream Discoveries Tour, and ID-F86 was one of the most important stops on the tour. |
| 638 | * ConfusionFu: When Fecto Elfilis TurnsRed, they start chaining together and/or switching up different attacks to trip up the player, such as slashing in the middle of the FlechetteStorm or swapping the final giant meteor of the MeteorSummoningAttack with the SwordPlant. Chaos Elfilis meanwhile possesses the confusing alternating attack usage right from the start, but also adds a few more, such as the Flechette Storm having three randomly selected flight patterns. |
| 639 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 640 | ** To Star Dream. Both corrupt the main villains (President Haltmann and Leongar), causing them to grow distant from their relatives (Susie and Clawroline). They then assimilate their bodies for the final battle, where they then combine with another major player in the story (the Access Ark and Elfilin) to reveal their true forms before being destroyed. They then return in a side mode where they are seemingly defeated by a knight character (Galacta Knight and Morpho Knight), only to reveal that they absorbed their injuries to become stronger. However, Star Dream only turned to villainy because of Haltmann merging minds with it which caused it to go haywire, whereas Fecto Forgo was evil from the beginning. Going hand-in-hand with this, their final battles as Star Dream Soul OS and Chaos Elfilis end against their cores, which contains the souls of those they have assimilated (President Haltmann and several Beast Pack soldiers); however, Star Dream devolves into a mindless soul-destroying machine and goes beyond the point of redemption. While Elfilis almost goes beyond this point, they eventually give in after being defeated one final time and willingly become one with Elfilin. |
| 641 | ** To Void Termina. Both are monstrous beings that were sealed away by an ancient civilization in a special seal (the Jamba Heart and the Eternal Capsule), where they are reduced to much weaker states (Void becomes the weaker Void Termina and Fecto Elfilis becomes Fecto Forgo). They then corrupt the main villain's mind (Hyness and Leongar) to restore them to full strength. They the absorb the bodies of the BigBad and their minions for the final battle with the goal of destroying everything. They then return in a post-game mode, where their influence on the villains corrupts them into more maddened states, where their influence needs to be broken. However, Void starts out as [[AlmightyIdiot mindless but physically powerful]], whereas Fecto Forgo starts out with [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport a weak body]] but a [[TheChessmaster very strong mind]]. [[DumbIsGood Accordingly]], Void eventually becomes [[DefeatMeansFriendship a friend to Kirby]] and redeems himself as his mind grows stronger, while Fecto Forgo's [[ColonyDrop actions]] only further cement them as irredeemably evil as their body grows more powerful. |
| 642 | ** Chaos Elfilis is this to Magolor Soul. While the latter is a "Soul" boss InNameOnly, being an EmptyShell lore-wise and having almost ''none'' of the previously established "Soul" boss attacks because of the Master Crown's hold on him[[note]]The sole exception being the opening black hole attack in Story Mode, taken from Marx Soul[[/note]], the former, while lacking "Soul" in its name, almost ''exclusively'' uses "Soul" boss attacks and is explicitly stated to be a "stubborn soul". |
| 643 | * CosmicMotifs: The names of Fecto Elfilis's attacks are full of astronomy-related GeniusBonus, according to the official guidebook (e.g. "Orbiting Pulsar", "Blazar Cutter", "Green Flash", "Kuiper Belt Wave"). But the most relevant is the moon -- since Elfilin is stated to be based on a waxing and waning moon, it's no coincidence that the perfect whole, Fecto Elfilis, has spear attacks called "Moon" and "Full Moon". |
| 644 | * CowardlyBoss: Both of its Elfilis fights (Fecto and Chaos) have it spend most of the battles either floating outside the arena (which unlike Clawrolina's rafter climbing renders it out of reach for the Ranger ability), {{Flash Step}}ping too fast to do more than a single hit, and the latter engaging in TeleportSpam. There are only short window periods where they stay in the battlefield long enough so you can reliably hit them, and if you want to beat the latter in a decently shorter time for Colosseum records you'll need to heavily capitalize on those moments to lay on decent damage. |
| 645 | * CreepyLongFingers: Fecto/Chaos Elfilis sports hands with fingers almost as long as their arms, which combined with their stick-like long legs makes them look extremely... ''off'' despite their otherwise quite pretty AngelicAbomination appearance. |
| 646 | * DarkIsEvil: |
| 647 | ** During the final sequence of the game, many {{Mooks}} in [[BigBadassRig Big Rig Mouth Kirby]]'s way are shrouded in a black, shadowy aura that gives them GlowingEyesOfDoom. These later appear in Forgo Dreams guarding pieces of Leon's soul, implying they are [[BrainwashedAndCrazy under Fecto Forgo's influence]], if not outright [[DemonicPossession possessed]] (or created by it, as seen with the Phantom beasts). |
| 648 | ** When they're possessing Leon, they take the form of a LivingShadow, and they can also create gigantic explosions of darkness around themself. |
| 649 | * DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Without Elfilin, Fecto Forgo has been reduced to a near-dormant shell and [[NeverGrewUp forced into its larval form]], needing to rely on their PsychicPowers to [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwash other people]] into doing their bidding. It's heavily implied, and outright stated in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, that their body [[ImMelting cannot physically maintain itself]] outside the Eternal Capsule. Unfortunately for everyone, they're still [[EldritchAbomination immensely powerful]], even with this handicap. |
| 650 | * DashAttack: An attack that they use on the ground is powering up their spear until it starts to glow, and will begin rushing into Kirby with it several times. Kirby can effortlessly avoid it with his dodge roll technique, but if you don't react in time, the attack itself will knock a Copy Ability right out of him. As Chaos Elfilis, they do this multiple times while warping through portals. |
| 651 | * DeaderThanDead: Fecto Forgo is outright destroyed after being defeated as Chaos Elfilis, and all that is left of them is reborn as a tiny, sparkling light that Elfilin promptly [[IAmWhatIAm accepts into himself]]. It's more ambiguous in most foreign translations, but the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions are clearer that it's likely a {{reincarnation}}. |
| 652 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: In a sense. Chaos Elfilis' final defeat leaves Fecto Elfilis as a small light that becomes one with Elfilin. Overlaps with HeelFaceReincarnation in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions. |
| 653 | * DeathFromAbove: They're genuinely fond of pulling off specific airborne attacks ''a lot'', and most of them are required to be avoided completely since they'll deliver major damage to Kirby. |
| 654 | ** The attack "Antares Meteor" involves Elfilis diving downward by jabbing Antares in a diagonal direction. If missed, their spear will be [[LeftStuckAfterAttack engraved into the ground]] and create Drop Stars, giving Kirby the chance to inhale them and counterattack. |
| 655 | ** "Sol", another skyward attack that doesn't include the need for their spear, is charging up and blasting forth a long-ranged destructive energy beam. If Kirby happens to be struck by it, it'll keep him momentarily stun locked while draining a significant portion of his health meter. |
| 656 | ** Elfilis will also perform a fast swooping dive maneuver, "Antares Belt" by rapidly dragging Antares around, which will ignite the ground with small trails of flames that are left behind. |
| 657 | ** To start the second phase of the boss fight, Fecto Elfilis will create a huge gate to Another Dimension far above the arena and perform "Fermi Paradox Answer", an attack where they hurl enormous chunks of space debris through the portal, with one so gigantic its size alone will take up the entire arena. |
| 658 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Downplayed, and only in non-Asian language translations on top of that. After Kirby and Elfilin defeat Chaos Elfilis, a tiny fragment of their soul floats down, and gets absorbed into Elfilin. As revealed by their figure description, they willingly gave themselves up to Elfilin, who in turn accepts them as a part of himself. Whether the future outcome is dark or negligible is unknown, though it doesn't appear to have any short-term effects. It's {{averted|Trope}} in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, which instead say that what's left of Fecto Forgo is "reborn" as a [[LightIsGood tiny mote of light]] and only mention that it was captured by Elfilin without merely vanishing. |
| 659 | * DemonicPossession: During the boss fight with Leongar, Forgo takes direct control of him for the second phase; while this enhances Leongar's powers, it reduces him to a feral beast in the process and it's made clear that the possession is ''agonizing'' for Leongar. |
| 660 | * {{Determinator}}: A side effect of all the side modes in ''Forgotten Land'' being explicitly canon (as opposed to non-canon in the case of ''Return to Dream Land'' and the 3DS games, or vaguely possibly canon like Void Soul) is that this makes Fecto Forgo in the canon of the story perhaps the most doggedly persistent of Kirby's antagonists; not only does the ''personification of death itself'' fail to stop them, [[BeyondTheImpossible it made them even more powerful than it ever initially expected]]. To go into more detail, after losing to Kirby the first time, they retreat into the land of their dreams to continue their schemes, and when Kirby fights them again, Forgo Leon is practically a MarathonBoss with 2 health bars and 3 phases, then ''immediately'' after they get beaten again, they put up their dukes ''again'', showing no intention of giving in before [[spoiler:Morpho Knight]] swoops in. And ''after that'', they absorb its power to fight Kirby ''again''. Even after their final defeat at the hands of Kirby and the near-dissolution of their soul, a tiny fragment still clings to life -- a fragment that [[IAmWhatIAm Elfilin willingly and wholeheartedly accepts into himself]]. |
| 661 | * DevilsPitchfork: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Fecto Elfilis's signature weapon, Antares, isn't exactly a trident or pitchfork, but it's still a fierce-looking spear used by one of the most despicable villains Kirby has ever faced. |
| 662 | * DidntSeeThatComing: During their VillainousBreakdown, they mention an error made in their important plan, which completely ruined it. That error being a certain [[SpannerInTheWorks "irksome, pink contaminant"]] being sucked into the New World and interfering with their plan. |
| 663 | * TheDisembodied: Fecto Forgo's evil soul survives the destruction of Fecto Elfilis's body, and they will do ''anything'', even inflict a similar fate on Leongar, to [[GrandTheftMe get their hands on another one]]. |
| 664 | * DividedDeity: Fecto Elfilis was a mysterious but all-powerful godlike alien who [[KidnappedForExperimentation was captured and experimented on]]. When trying to escape, the good within them was separated from the rest of the body. This good became [[FairyCompanion Elfilin]], while the evil left behind became Fecto Forgo and spends the game trying to reunite with its missing part for the sake of gaining power again. |
| 665 | * DoppelgangerSpin: After they reach their [[TurnsRed second phase]], Fecto Elfilis can create two copies of themself (four as Chaos Elfilis) to stall Kirby while they [[HealThyself heal themselves]]. A ring of energy closes in on the real Elfilis as they charge the healing move, which also serves to tell you how long until they complete the healing spell (and also hurts Kirby a little if he touches it). You can bypass this attack much more quickly if you pay attention to Elfilis's shadow, since [[CastsNoShadow only the real Elfilis has one]]. |
| 666 | * TheDreaded: The Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions of the "Dream Discoveries Tour" indicate that Fecto Elfilis was originally captured because Lab Discovera's scientists were ''just that afraid'' of leaving it alone to wreak havoc on the ecosystem. The Japanese guidebook implies that Fecto Elfilis's first interaction with the New World (i.e., their "UsefulNotes/FermiParadox Answer") was [[DynamicEntry launching a meteor the size of a house at the planet]], which would give those scientists ''very'' good reason to fear for their lives. |
| 667 | * DreamWeaver: Fecto Forgo has a PocketDimension called "Forgo Dreams", which is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a world constructed out of their dreams]]. Kirby and Elfilin explore it in the post-game, and Elfilin mentions that being assimilated by Forgo will [[TrappedInAnotherWorld send you there]], which we see happen with Leon and several enemies that were assimilated by them. |
| 668 | * DubPersonalityChange: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, Fecto Forgo is a [[{{Determinator}} very determined]] and [[TheSociopath callous]] character in all languages. In the original Japanese and localized Chinese and Korean versions, they are clearly annoyed with Leongar's defeat, but more cautious and resigned about their plans failing. This makes their jump to "consuming everything" seem like a cold, calculated DisproportionateRetribution, rather than the culmination of their VillainousBreakdown, and it leads to Forgo coming off ''[[AdaptationalJerkass even worse]]'' than they do in English. |
| 669 | -->'''Fecto Forgo (EN):''' You... You dare... Plan ruined. Important plan. Needed labor. Opened vortex. Found workforce. Brought here. And yet? Error made. Irksome, pink contaminant... Careful planning. Now wasted. No more planning. No more patience. Instead... '''''EVERYTHING. SHALL BE. CONSUMED.''''' |
| 670 | -->'''Fecto Forgo (JP):''' Curse youuu... [[WhatTheHellAreYou What the hell are you]]...? From many dimensions, I have drawn servants to me, but... To think an obstacle like this was mixed in... Well, fine... It would be... troublesome to formulate a plan now... '''''I shall consume everything...!''''' |
| 671 | * DubNameChange: |
| 672 | ** Fecto Forgo becomes "Ultimo Oublio" in French, "Ultimo Ver'Ges" in German, "Ultimo Vergeto" in Dutch, "Fecto Olvi" in Spanish, "Fecto Perdis" in Italian. |
| 673 | ** Fecto Elfilis becomes "Ultimo Elfilis" in French, German, and Dutch. |
| 674 | * DynamicEntry: {{Implied|Trope}}, but [[AllThereInTheManual only in the Japanese guidebook]]. The book refers to the attack where Fecto Elfilis [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield turns the sky into a mess of shifting colors]], [[ThinkingUpPortals opens a dimensional rift]], and [[MeteorSummoningAttack launches a meteor the size of the entire boss arena through it]] as "UsefulNotes/FermiParadox Answer". This implies that Elfilis first makes its presence known by using that same attack to kick off its invasions. Entries don't ''get'' much more dynamic than that! |
| 675 | * EarWings: Like their subspecimen Elfilin, Fecto Elfilis has large ears that they use as wings (though Elfilis' are much larger and more bird-like). |
| 676 | * EldritchAbomination: One of the most classically Lovecraftian entities in the series, barring Void. Fecto Forgo is a huge embryonic creature with PsychicPowers so strong that they can [[ThinkingUpPortals create portals at will]]. In the post-game, it's revealed that they can survive without their body, create illusory phantoms of other beings, flat-out ''[[FateWorseThanDeath shatter someone's soul]]'', and getting reaped by Morpho Knight just causes it to come back ''even stronger''. They also have a PocketDimension made of [[DreamWeaver their own dreams]]. On top of that, there's very little actually known about where it came from or if it is the only one of its species. |
| 677 | * EmotionalMaturityIsPhysicalMaturity: {{Inverted|Trope}}. After the warp experiment incident, Fecto Elfilis's mind was divided into two [[LiteralSplitPersonality Literal Split Personalities]] -- Elfilin, an [[AllLovingHero omnibenevolent]] creature that once [[TheConscience governed Elfilis's conscience]], as well as their intellect and reason, and Fecto Forgo, everything else. As a result, Forgo [[FountainOfYouth de-aged]] into its larval body. "Losing Emotional Maturity Causes Physical Immaturity"? |
| 678 | * EnfantTerrible: It has the look of a FetusTerrible, but by the standards of Fecto Elfilis's species, Fecto Forgo is a larva, not a fetus. Bizarrely, the official guide indicates it's both this ''and'' a PsychopathicManchild -- the warp experiment incident caused Fecto Forgo's body to [[FountainOfYouth regress to this form]], and it lacks the higher-order thinking skills of adulthood that were embodied within Elfilin, but they were the same adult alien before the split. It's complicated. |
| 679 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 680 | ** To Kirby. Elfilis is first seen as a pink larval monster with IcyBlueEyes, stubby limbs, resembling a fetus, contrasting Kirby's cute SuperDeformed round design and his InnocentBlueEyes. Kirby is a PlanetDestroyer, yes, but he's also kind, warmhearted, and pure good, and would rather make friends with everyone than enemies. Forgo, meanwhile, is a ControlFreak who enslaves everyone they meet and destroys what worlds they can't control. Forgo also contrasts with Kirby's eating habits. Kirby is an ExtremeOmnivore who copies the powers of the things he eats, but he has limits, while Forgo is TheAssimilator who becomes a [[BlobMonster monstrous beast]] out of the things they absorb. In addition, both of them are capable of using Morpho Knight's power for themselves, as Chaos Elfilis and the Morpho Knight Sword ability respectively. |
| 681 | ** They're also this to Elfilin. Elfilin represents Fecto Elfilis' compassion, empathy, intelligence, and higher-order thinking skills, while Forgo represents everything else - their desire to conquer and assimilate. But unlike Elfilin, who has the body of a child but is quite mature and is a friendly guy, Fecto Forgo has the [[PsychopathicManchild mind]] ''[[PsychopathicManchild and]]'' [[PsychopathicManchild body of a child]], is a callous [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who won't be afraid to control others to get what they want, and will be forced into violent, life-threatening tantrums (as in, {{Colony Drop}}ping Popstar onto the New World) should they not get their way. |
| 682 | * EvilIsPetty: Even though Fecto Forgo knows they can [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody survive without a body]], losing Elfilin prompts them to ColonyDrop Planet Popstar into the new world out of nothing but spite. {{Justified|Trope}}, since Elfilin is TheConscience to Fecto Elfilis and provides them with the ability to reason intelligently -- Forgo has the [[PsychopathicManchild mind of a child]] by comparison, lacking a RestrainingBolt to rein in cases of DisproportionateRetribution. |
| 683 | * EvilIsVisceral: Very unusually for the saccharine SugarBowl of the ''Kirby'' series, Fecto Forgo has a distinct BodyHorror flair. Its base form looks like a [[FetusTerrible giant mouse-like fetus]] with a head full of VolcanicVeins, and once it assimilates the Beast Pack, it shambles around as a disgusting ShapeshifterMashup of all the creatures it's absorbed into its biomass. |
| 684 | * {{Expy}}: To Jenova from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. Like Jenova, Fecto Elfilis is a blueish extraterrestrial AngelicAbomination that crash-landed on the planet a long time ago, where it made an effort to absorb the planet but was beaten back by the planet's {{Precursors}}. In the present day it's kept in a tube and wants to be reunited with the parts that were split off from it. |
| 685 | * EyeAwaken: Fecto Forgo's eye opens when they awaken, ready to take direct action. |
| 686 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Forgo repays the Beast Pack, who did everything they could to help them return to their original body, by [[TheAssimilator absorbing them]]. They're especially cruel to Leongar. |
| 687 | * FateWorseThanDeath: The split between Elfilin and Fecto Forgo not only induced [[FountainOfYouth de-aging]] so severe that it became [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport unable to even move]], but it's been trapped alone on an abandoned planet for so long that entire cities have been ReclaimedByNature, forced to hear the same announcement over and over and over. Granted, from what's revealed about Fecto Elfilis, [[AssholeVictim they had it coming]]. |
| 688 | * FemmeFatalons: Fecto Elfilis has sharp claw-like fingernails on the end of their CreepyLongFingers. |
| 689 | * UsefulNotes/FermiParadox: According to the guidebook, Fecto Elfilis provides the "Fermi Paradox Answer"... by [[MeteorSummoningAttack launching meteors at the planets it invades]]. |
| 690 | * FetusTerrible: Okay, they're not technically a fetus (they're in a larval state), but they look the part, and they're most definitely evil. |
| 691 | * FightingAShadow: The postgame reveals that Fecto Forgo can actually [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody survive without a body]] as long as their soul remains intact. |
| 692 | * 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 "Sukhavati Underworld Beast" attack, which summons a ghost made of crimson-red fire to chase after Kirby. |
| 693 | * FlechetteStorm: Several of Elfilis' attacks, in both Fecto and Chaos forms, involve [[ShapingYourAttacks forming their psychic energy]] into several astral replicas of their weapon's spearhead, which they either fling quickly through the air or create ReverseShrapnel with. |
| 694 | * ForTheEvulz: What separates them from previous ''Kirby'' villains thus far is the fact that they have a conscience and the capacity to do good (symbolized by Elfilin), and can barely function on a physical level without it. Despite this, the first choice they make upon fusing with Elfilin back into Fecto Elfilis is to resume being the evil alien conqueror they were when they first arrived in the new world. That alone shows how vile and cruel they are. |
| 695 | * FountainOfYouth: According to the ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide'', the split between Elfilin and Fecto Forgo caused the latter to age backward into a larval state, from before "emergence". It [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport can barely survive]] in the physical world, being unable to even move. |
| 696 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Disturbingly, Chaos Elfilis's eyes never look at Kirby; rather, they're staring directly at the player no matter what angle it's facing. The ''figurine'' even does this too! |
| 697 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: {{Averted|trope}} for one of the few times in the series. While most villains in the series typically have no moral agency or characterization, Fecto Elfilis is the only one to be directly shown to be capable of doing good (as shown with Elfilin), yet genuinely chooses to do evil. |
| 698 | * GhastlyGhost: Soul Forgo, while [[TheDisembodied technically still alive]], is a Type 3 example. It's the soul of a malevolent EldritchAbomination, and its goal is to possess Leongar so it can gain its body back and [[VengefulGhost take its revenge on Kirby]]. |
| 699 | * GiganticAdultsTinyBabies: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Fecto Forgo is much larger in its larval form than Fecto Elfilis, the mature form of its species. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASwhT7IcMbw Putting their models side by side]], Forgo is somewhere between two and three times Elfilis's size. |
| 700 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Whenever Fecto Forgo is preparing to engage in battle in their larva form, their eyes begin glowing white. They have these at all times during the Soul Forgo fight. |
| 701 | * GracefulLoser: In contrast to [[ColonyDrop their reaction]] after their first defeat, the remaining piece of their soul that remained following their final defeat as Chaos Elfilis against Kirby simply floats down to Elfilin, who takes them into himself. {{Averted|Trope}} in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, which say this piece of soul is actually [[{{Reincarnation}} reborn]] thanks to Kirby's "miraculous power". This may imply it's a "new" form of Elfilis, who cannot remember having lost in the first place. |
| 702 | * GreenAndMean: Fecto Elfilis has teal fur and is by far one of the most despicable villains Kirby has ever faced. |
| 703 | * GreenIsGross: As Fecto Forgo, its body is made up of [[BlobMonster nasty greenish-blue slime]], and its amalgamated form is one of the most [[BodyHorror viscerally horrifying]] bosses in the entire ''Kirby'' franchise. |
| 704 | * HatePlague: A side effect of Fecto Forgo's brainwashing is turning into a feral beast. Once they're defeated, all of their victims become sane again. |
| 705 | * HealThyself: Fecto Elfilis (and, by extension, Chaos Elfilis) is the only main-series ''Kirby'' boss so far that can heal themselves. Fortunately, you can stop them from doing so by damaging them enough before they finish charging the move (though they will create [[DoppelgangerSpin copies of themself]] to throw you off). The Japanese guidebook calls this technique "Genome Repairs", implying Elfilis pulls this off by ''[[MasterOfYourDomain editing its own DNA]]''. |
| 706 | * HealingBoss: Using the "Genome Repairs" attack, Fecto Elfilis is the only boss in the ''Kirby'' franchise that can heal itself. |
| 707 | * HeelFaceReincarnation: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, Chaos Elfilis's final defeat causes them to reincarnate into a harmless mote of light, which floats down and (possibly) allows itself to be captured by Elfilin. |
| 708 | * HellGate: Chaos Elfilis begins their second phase by turning ''their own body'' into a black hole to try and suck Kirby into themselves. |
| 709 | * HijackingCthulhu: After initially being absorbed by Morpho Knight, Fecto Forgo manages to turn the tables upon its defeat, and assimilates Morpho Knight's abilities to become even stronger than before. |
| 710 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: |
| 711 | ** As a result of attempting to hurl Popstar down to kill Kirby and Elfilin, the sheer gravitational pull of the planet ends up disrupting a ton of debris and buildings to not only [[BossArenaIdiocy give Kirby the perfect path to drive down]] in the Big-Rig Mouth mode to slam into them to finish them off, but also give Kirby the truck he uses for the Big-Rig Mouth in the first place. |
| 712 | ** After [[TheAssimilator assimilating everything in their path]], Fecto Forgo finds themself on the receiving end when [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth Morpho Knight]] shows up. |
| 713 | ** In opening the portal to Planet Popstar in order to capture the Waddle Dees, not only did it end up bringing Kirby along for the ride, but it was that very same portal that gave Kirby the ability to use Mouthful Mode in the first place! NiceJobFixingItVillain indeed. |
| 714 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: On both the "horrifying" and "horror" end at different points. |
| 715 | ** When it first arrived in the New World, its invasion of the planet was considered so destructive and dangerous that, in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, it is mentioned that Lab Discovera's scientists were [[GodzillaThreshold forced to capture it]] because they were "anxious about the risks" of leaving Fecto Elfilis to its own devices. These scientists were implied to be '''[[{{Precursors}} the Ancients]]''', who created relics like the Novas and the Master Crown.[[note]]Itself, a sentient force of evil.[[/note]] |
| 716 | ** In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, after Kirby defeats Leongar, Fecto Forgo's instinctive reaction to the pink puff's power is [[ThisCannotBe outrage]], then [[WhatTheHellAreYou disbelief]], then deciding it is too much "trouble" to think of an intelligent way out of dealing with Kirby. It ultimately concludes that [[OmnicidalManiac everything has to go]]. |
| 717 | * HornAttack: Gathers up power and lets loose a powerful energy wave out of their halo-like antlers at several points during the fight. |
| 718 | * HornsOfVillainy: Fecto Elfilis has antler-like horns on their head, and they're a world-conquering alien. |
| 719 | * HostileShowTakeover: Hijacks the Colosseum to create a new pocket dimension that forms The Ultimate Cup Z, where they are fought as the TrueFinalBoss of the game as Chaos Elfilis. One of Commentator Waddle Dee's interview commentary statements after beating them is to express absolute confusion over what recently transpired. |
| 720 | * IcyBlueEyes: As shown when they [[EyeAwaken dramatically open their eyes]], Fecto Forgo's are a cold blue, befitting their [[TheChessmaster manipulative nature]]. |
| 721 | * IHaveManyNames: Is known at various points in the game as the Great One, Specimen ID-F86, Fecto Forgo, Fecto Elfilis, Soul Forgo, and Chaos Elfilis. |
| 722 | * ImMelting: They're in a constant state of this without one of two things: the [[TailorMadePrison Eternal Capsule]] in Lab Discovera, or a FusionDance with Elfilin, who contains the parts of Fecto Forgo that make them stable. Without them, they're little more than a psychic BlobMonster. Once Kirby defeats Fecto Elfilis and frees Elfilin, they immediately start melting again, enabling Kirby to finish them off with [[BigBadassRig a Mouthful Mode-powered eighteen-wheeler]]. |
| 723 | * IncessantMusicMadness: The final stage of Forgo Dreams represents Lab Discovera, where they were kept indefinitely. The soundtrack that plays there is a distorted, disturbed ambient version of Lab Discovera's Dream Discoveries Tour, which implies that Fecto Forgo has been listening to it for so long that [[EarWorm it now plays in their dreams]]. This track briefly plays again for Chaos Elfilis's TrueFinalBoss form. |
| 724 | * IntroducedSpeciesCalamity: An extreme embodiment of it. An invasive animal that's literally an invader, uprooting the food chain and the ecosystem around it to further its own ambitions and feeding on anything nearby to try and complete itself. |
| 725 | * ItCanThink: Sort of. As Fecto Forgo, it's shown that it has been aware of its current form ever since Elfilin was separated, but since Elfilin is stated in the guidebook to be Fecto Elfilis's [[TheConscience conscience]] and the seat of its intelligence and reason, it's essentially locked into a state of [[AxCrazy permanent irrationality]], with [[TheUnfettered nothing to hold its worst impulses back]], and the split also [[FountainOfYouth forcibly de-aged it]]. So it can think, but only about as well as a [[EnfantTerrible particularly cruel child]] can (by its species' standards). |
| 726 | * JerkassToOne: Out of everyone in the Beast Pack, Forgo seems to relish in torturing Leongar the most. They brainwash him, possess him, assimilate his body, shatter his soul, trap him in the world of their dreams and possess him ''again,'' leaving him to suffer. Their second possession also leads to a DisneyDeath for Leon, just to add fuel to the fire. |
| 727 | * KarmicDeath: After all the cruel things they did in the backstory, the vanilla story, and the sidestory campaign, they eventually get their comeuppance when they, as Chaos Elfilis, are defeated again by Kirby in The Ultimate Cup Z tournament. In the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, they're rendered DeaderThanDead as the last bits of their soul are reincarnated and absorbed by Elfilin, no longer in control over their own body like they previously were. |
| 728 | * KnightOfCerebus: In classic ''Kirby'' villain fashion, the happy moments come to a crashing halt once Forgo takes center stage, especially when they regain their true form. |
| 729 | * LackOfEmpathy: Separating from Elfilin did a serious number on Fecto Forgo's compassion. Granted, [[AliensAreBastards the original Fecto Elfilis]] clearly didn't have much of that to begin with, and is even implied to have [[VirtueIsWeakness suppressed it]]. |
| 730 | * LaserGuidedKarma: |
| 731 | ** They came across the new world and went on a rampage to conquer the planet. They end up defeated by the people living there, turned into a science experiment (leading to the creation of the portals Kirby encounters throughout the game), and [[ComeToGawk reduced to being a tourist attraction]] for the very beings they tried subjugating. |
| 732 | ** All of the atrocities they committed as Fecto Forgo, including brainwashing Leongar (and King Dedede) and kidnapping the Waddle Dees from Popstar to use them as slave labor, were done to reunite with their good self, Elfilin. Then once they do, they fuse with Elfilin against the latter's will to regain their perfect body and resume their conquering ways. Karma comes in the form of Kirby, who not only ruins their plans utterly for the sake of his friend, but also rescues Elfilin by forcibly separating the two. |
| 733 | ** Even [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor their wish to be one with Elfilin]] [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]] for them. Elfilin ''does'' willingly fuse with their remaining soul fragment, having come to accept them as a part of him, but they no longer have control of their body like they once were. Instead, ''Elfilin'' is the one in control after being a HelplessGoodSide for all this time. |
| 734 | * LeanAndMean: Fecto Elfilis is quite slender and angelic, and is ''very'' cruel, even with the tiny bit of compassion within them. |
| 735 | * LightIsNotGood: As Fecto Elifilis, they have an angelic appearance and a few of their attacks are light or energy-based. They're an utterly cruel alien bent on conquering and/or assimilating everything in the galaxy, and one of the vilest villains in the entire ''Kirby'' franchise. Chaos Elfilis takes this further by combining the angelic appearance with a WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver color scheme. |
| 736 | * LightningBruiser: In their complete forms as [[FinalBoss Fecto Elfilis]] and [[TrueFinalBoss Chaos Elfilis]], they're ridiculously fast through attacks so quick they're near-instant (the guidebook outright says they travel at light speed) along with {{Flash Step}}ping or {{Teleport Spam}}ming around and away from the field, every attack has decent damage individually, pain-locking on several of them, and add onto that by throwing out multiple in quick succession, and while compared to those like [[DamageSpongeBoss Star Dream]] and [[MarathonBoss Void Termina]] they're a combination of GlassCannon and FragileSpeedster in terms of health, both forms have enough that they'll still take time to beat due to needing to reach them to deal damage. |
| 737 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: Lab Discovera's warp experiment incident caused Fecto Elfilis to split into two beings -- Elfilin, TheConscience personified (Fecto Elfilis's compassion, love, intelligence, and reason), and Fecto Forgo, everything else. At the end of the FinalBoss battle, Kirby is able to split them up again, and this time they aren't able to reunite. |
| 738 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Leongar has been under their control for the whole game, with all of his actions being for the sake of returning Forgo to their true form. |
| 739 | * ManBitesMan: In their Fecto Forgo form, the blob-like abomination will quickly catch up to Kirby by attempting to chomp him with their jaws, although the player is more than likely to dodge, which will leave them open long enough for Kirby to open fire with either spitting stars or attacking with any Copy Ability to inflict damage on them. |
| 740 | * MarathonBoss: Chaos Elfilis comes very close to edging out Forgo Leon in terms of fight length. Not because of health, as maintaining consistent damage will whittle it down just as fast as Fecto Elfilis, but because they abuse TeleportSpam, long-range attacks, and filling the field with constant pain, meaning most of the challenge comes from getting to hit them in the first place. |
| 741 | * MasterOfYourDomain: The Japanese guidebook states that Fecto Elfilis can [[HealThyself restore its HP during the boss battle]] by making "genome repairs". It's likely that the ability to [[{{Biomanipulation}} edit genetic code on the fly]] is what makes Elfilis (and Fecto Forgo, [[ShapeshifterMashup by extension]]) such a powerful [[TheAssimilator assimilator]]. |
| 742 | * MesACrowd: They can generate two copies of themselves as a means of distracting Kirby while the real Elfilis attempts to regain traces of their damaged health. The other clones simply poof away after taking a single hit. As Chaos Elfilis, they summon five copies. |
| 743 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 744 | ** "Fecto" may come from "in'''fect'''" for its ability to possess other beings, [[DoubleMeaning or]] "per'''fect'''" for its UltimateLifeForm status. |
| 745 | ** "To forgo" means "to leave behind/to go without", reflecting how they were left behind by the civilization that once lived in the new world and that they're without Elfilin, which combines with Fecto to potentially mean "without perfection", as they lost their UltimateLifeForm status when Elfilin separated from them. The name could also be from "'''forgo'''tten", or (less likely) the Swedish word "förgöra", meaning "[[OmnicidalManiac destroy]]". |
| 746 | ** The "86" in "ID-F86" comes from the [[GoroawaseNumber Japanese pronunciation]] of "HAL," as in Creator/HALLaboratory, [[CreatorCameo the developers of the game]]. "F" can stand for "Fecto Forgo," but also sounds like the first syllable of "Elfilis," their true form. |
| 747 | ** "Elfilis" is derived from [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=-bv-xiUddv4 efilism]], a philosophy that assigns a negative value of birth to all sentient life; this fits their mission to destroy and assimilate all organic life. |
| 748 | ** Elfilis's spear is called "Antares". It gets its name from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antares a binary star system]] made up of a much larger red supergiant and a smaller main-sequence star. Together, they give the appearance of a huge, bright star -- just like Elfilis itself, who is really a combination of the [[EvilIsBigger larger, more powerful]] Fecto Forgo and the much smaller Elfilin. |
| 749 | * MergerOfSouls: Chaos Elfilis is the result of Fecto Forgo, Morpho Knight, and the souls of their victims combining together into one entity. |
| 750 | * MindRape: This is what they do to their victims, as shown with King Dedede and Leon. Not only do they grant them elemental powers ([[PlayingWithFire fiery punches]] for Forgo Dedede and [[ShockAndAwe electrical punches]] for Forgo Leon), but their psychic powers also drives them insane, reduces them to bloodthirsty predators, and destroys their memories. Poor Leon gets the worst of it -- during the Forgo Leon fight, he's actively FightingFromTheInside while Soul Forgo [[GrandTheftMe uses his body]] as they see fit. |
| 751 | * MixAndMatchCritters: |
| 752 | ** The resulting appearance of Fecto Forgo assimilating the Beast Pack members makes them look like a gooey version of a "chimera" by having multiple physical features of them "glued" to each other, such as an enormous Poison Croakom on the upper left of their body with 4 Sssnackers underneath, a Gnawcodile on the bottom right accompanied by several Rabiroos above it. |
| 753 | ** The design for Fecto Elfilis' design contain aspects of various mammals blended together. He has a long and bushy fox-like tail, his head shape has the look to that of a squirrel with oddly rounded "whiskers" from his cheeks. His antlers, as well as the thin elongated length of his legs are strikingly similar to deers, while his massively distinguishable EarWings are slightly elephant-like in terms of size and proportions. |
| 754 | * MothMenace: It's not a real moth, but a [[AnimalisticAbomination moth-like abomination]]. Its three different forms may symbolize the larval stage, the pupal stage, and the adult stage of moths. As Fecto Elfilis, it has antennas and wings of a moth. In fact, their [[ChaosIsEvil final form]] was caused by them assimilating Morpho Knight's powers after its defeat. And supporting all of this, the official guidebook describes the life cycle of Fecto Elfilis in insectoid terms, using the word ''uka suru'' ("to emerge/eclose") to describe how the larval Fecto Forgo would become an adult. |
| 755 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: The general bodily structure that Fecto Elfilis has is relatively thin and even completely spindly all-around, except for their widened forearms, which are thicker than their entire arms, although, that alone doesn't stop them whenever brawn is more than accessible, as they can puncture holes into the arena with chunks of rubble coming out after jabbing and forcefully thrusting their scepter into the ground, leave behind destroyed trails of shredded metal just by swooping and dragging their weapon with it, and is able to ram into the housed satellites by plowing through them without even trying. |
| 756 | * MyBrainIsBig: Fecto Forgo's larva form has a gigantic forehead, and they have the PsychicPowers to match. |
| 757 | * NamedWeapons: According to the official guidebook, Elfilis's spear is called "Antares". |
| 758 | * 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 stage 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! |
| 759 | * NightmareFace: Their chimera form after assimilating many members of the Beast Pack has a massive red-pink lion's face in the center. Not only that, but it's even implied to be '''Leongar's''' face (or, at least, [[{{Biomanipulation}} a facsimile of it]]). As detailed in Leongar's folder above, Forgo Leon gains one himself under Forgo's control. |
| 760 | * NoMouth: There are no traces of them being acquired with a visible mouth. Highly justified since one of their powers involves brainwashing others and most specifically, telepathy, which allows them to do the speaking for them. |
| 761 | * NotTheFirstVictim: According to the official guidebook, the New World is far from the first planet it's assimilated, and is simply the first one that was able to successfully fight back. |
| 762 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Fecto Forgo might ''look'' like a larva by its species' standards, but it was the adult Fecto Elfilis before it was [[LiteralSplitPersonality split apart]]. |
| 763 | * OmnicidalManiac: Elfilis seems to have no other goal beyond destruction, conquest, and assimilation. When they arrived in the new world, they went on a rampage before being captured. As Fecto Forgo, they also seek to absorb Elfilin to regain their power and pick up where they left off. |
| 764 | * OneWingedAngel: Its true power is restored once it absorbs Elfilin, putting up a ''much'' better fight against Kirby than before. For the TrueFinalBoss battle, it obtains an even more powerful body using Morpho Knight's power, one that can sustain itself independently of Elfilin. |
| 765 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Up until they turn into their BlobMonster form, Fecto Forgo spends the entire game laying dormant inside the Eternal Capsule, making the Beast Pack do all the dirty work for them. Justified, since they are heavily weakened and the Eternal Capsule is their only way to maintain stability without Elfilin. |
| 766 | * OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: As Elfilis is an AngelicAbomination with both no clear sexual characteristics and zero concerns for societal norms like gender concepts, every form they are referred to in gets described as either "they/them" or "{{it|IsDehumanizing}}". Averted in the Japanese version, where Elfilis is referred to as "he", like Elfilin. |
| 767 | * PaintingTheMedium: In the Japanese version of the game, Fecto Forgo's dialogue switches between hiragana and katakana, giving the impression that their voice is distorted and running out of energy to speak. In most foreign translations, this is instead rendered as Forgo [[TerseTalker speaking in short two or three-word sentences]]. |
| 768 | * PassionIsEvil: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. According to the ''Perfect Support Guide'', Elfilin is the embodiment of Fecto Elfilis's [[TheConscience conscience]], along with its intelligence and reason, and he's basically MadeOfGood. [[VirtueIsWeakness But it's not like Elfilis was using those traits to begin with]] -- it was too passionate about [[AmbitionIsEvil invading other planets]] and [[TheAssimilator assimilating weaker life forms]] to care. Fecto Forgo plays it straight, however, since without Elfilin to hold it back, its behavior is totally [[TheSociopath psychopathic]]. |
| 769 | * PersonalityPowers: |
| 770 | ** As Fecto Forgo, they have immense PsychicPowers like telepathy, mind-control, and DemonicPossession. As they were separated from Elfilin at the time, these powers proved useful in achieving their goals while stuck in the Eternal Capsule. Leongar becoming their ([[MindRape unwilling]]) pawn and host -- and being reduced to a violent, feral beast in the process -- thanks to Fecto Forgo's psychic influence also reflects Fecto Forgo's worldviews, seeing all life other than themself as beneath them and only existing to be conquered, destroyed, and/or assimilated by them. |
| 771 | ** Fecto Elfilis's signature move, as shown when it TurnsRed, is using its psychic powers to launch crude heaps of space junk (including one the size of a house) through them -- essentially, [[ComplexityAddiction exerting a supernatural level of brainpower so it can throw rocks at people it doesn't like]]. It's a very fitting technique for a creature that concocted an elaborate, vile scheme spanning multiple dimensions to get its old body back, all so it could [[AlienInvasion invade other planets again]] -- you know, [[IgnoredEpiphany the thing that led to it losing its body in the first place]]. Cementing this, the final, last-ditch attack Fecto Elfilis uses at the end of the main story is [[ColonyDrop the same thing on a world-ending scale]]. |
| 772 | * PhysicalGod: Has shades of this. Fecto Forgo is [[EldritchAbomination an entity of unfathomable power]], capable of doing things that are outright beyond comprehension. In the Japanese version, it graduates to (alleged) godhood in the postgame, where it is mentioned that Leon's soul was removed from his body so that Soul Forgo could use it as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorishiro yorishiro]] (a "divine vessel" for ''kami'' used in Shinto religious rites). |
| 773 | * PlanetDestroyer: According to the ''Perfect Support Guide'', Fecto Elfilis used to travel across the universe, assimilating entire planets ForTheEvulz. The New World was the very first planet able to put up a fight against them. And, of course, its attempted ColonyDrop at the end of the main story would have outright destroyed both the New World ''and'' Planet Popstar. |
| 774 | * PlayingWithFire: During the final boss fight, Elfilis can use an attack called "Antares Belt", where they outright SwordDrag their spear by scraping it across the floor so ridiculously fast that a traveling series of flames is left behind. |
| 775 | * PowerFloats: For the first and second course of the boss fight, they will spend a majority of them time traversing in the air and constantly floating around while initiating their attacks beyond Kirby's range. Their ability to fly is likely due to their spatial powers, while the EarWings themselves are mostly shown to be used as means of propulsion. |
| 776 | * PowerIncontinence: Sort of. The English version says that without Elfilin, Fecto Forgo's PsychicPowers have become "unstable" and "uncontrolled". But this doesn't stop them from carrying out their plans. In effect, it's more like losing the RestrainingBolt that is [[TheFettered morality]] and giving in to the SuperpoweredEvilSide, albeit [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport at the cost of a strong body]]. The Japanese version clarifies that this was a temporary thing implied to be limited to the "warp experiment incident", with Fecto Forgo's powers going haywire and opening various portals as a consequence of the split between them and Elfilin. In the present day, it's {{averted|Trope}}; Forgo is [[TheChessmaster nothing if not in control]]. |
| 777 | * PsychicPowers: Fecto Forgo possesses immense psychic powers such as [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]], MindControl, and {{telepathy}}. These powers are responsible for the vortices that sent Kirby and friends to the new world in the first place, [[TheChessmaster just as planned]]. |
| 778 | * PsychoPink: Fecto Forgo has pink skin, and they're the BigBad of ''Forgotten Land'' whose ultimate goal is to destroy and consume planets. The "Psycho" part is brought upon by his lack of restraint from [[TheConscience Elfilin]]. |
| 779 | * PsychopathicManchild: In the [[FountainOfYouth most literal sense]]. Due to its separation from [[TheConscience Elfilin]], Fecto Forgo is regressed to the body of a larva and lacks higher-order thinking skills. This explains a lot of its DisproportionateRetribution, particularly to [[SoreLoser losing]] -- it has all the ego and cruelty of a formerly all-powerful alien conqueror, but the mind of a child. It isn't pretty. |
| 780 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: '''"EVERYTHING. SHALL BE. CONSUMED."''' |
| 781 | * PunnyName: The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions of Chaos Elfilis's BossSubtitles read "Chaotic New Species", but in the Japanese and Chinese versions, the word for "chaos" has its first character replaced with the character for "soul". This was the same pun used for Void Soul's BossSubtitles in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies''. |
| 782 | * PyrrhicVictory: After being defeated as Chaos Elfilis, Elfilin accepts Elfilis’s soul back into himself, knowing they are part of him. They are finally complete like they wanted, but with Elfilin in charge, meaning they can't indulge their destructive interests anymore. |
| 783 | * RasputinianDeath: Depending on whether you count mind-controlled puppets, full-bodied possessions, and InevitableTournament copies, Kirby has to defeat Forgo four to nine times before it finally stays down. |
| 784 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Fecto Forgo's chaos-tainted form after acquiring Morpho Knight's DNA is red and white, but once their chaotic essence is literally sucked out by Kirby, they take the form of a red, white, and black SphereOfPower. |
| 785 | * RedOniBlueOni: The psychopathic, sociopathic and monstrous Red Oni to Elfilin's easy-going, friendly, and humble Blue Oni. This is reflected in their color scheme (Elfilin has [[BlueIsHeroic teal fur]] while Forgo has [[PsychoPink pink skin]]) and what sides of Fecto Elfilis' personality that they represent: Elfilin represents Elfilis' conscience, intelligence, and compassion, while Forgo represents their desire to rule and destroy. |
| 786 | * {{Reincarnation}}: The tiny sparkle of light left behind by Chaos Elfilis's final defeat is said to be Fecto Forgo reborn in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions. The English version calls it "the last bit of life remaining". |
| 787 | * ReverseShrapnel: As Chaos Elfilis, they can use a variation of their spear laser FlechetteStorm attack that behaves like this. |
| 788 | * SatanicArchetype: A highly manipulative [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] whose MindControl over the Beast Pack has led to the kidnapping and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslavement]] of hundreds of Waddle Dees, Fecto Forgo has [[DealWithTheDevil led Leongar to believe]] that reuniting with Elfilin will allow the Beast Pack to use their SpaceMaster powers. While their boss form after assimilating Leon and other beasts has a [[BigRedDevil huge, red, demonic-looking lion's head]] with a goat horn on the side of it, Fecto Elfilis has a heavy [[AngelicAbomination angel motif]] instead, complete with HolyPipeOrgan and a battle in the [[LightIsNotGood rising sun]]. Even in this form, they wield a caduceus-like spear called Antares, which almost looks like a [[DevilsPitchfork trident]]. It's even made yellow as Chaos Elfilis to drive this connection further. |
| 789 | * ScrewballSquirrel: Very subtly done. Fecto Elfilis has a bushy, squirrel-like tail, and the Japanese spelling of their name contains ''risu'', the Japanese word for squirrel. They're also a cruel, AxCrazy alien who [[ManipulativeBastard played the Beast Pack for fools]]. |
| 790 | * ShapeshifterMashUp: In a highly desperate effort to fully obtain Elfilin after Leongar has been defeated by Kirby, Fecto Forgo bursts out of their Eternal Capsule and begins to snatch every other member of the Beast Pack by absorbing their entire bodies into their splotch-like amorphous form to gain a much more solidified body. A plethora of faces from the various animals start to quickly form in their shared mass, with Leongar's face in the center of it all being the most prominent detail, as his face has a goat-like horn sprouting from his head, making the fused abomination resembling a far more twisted depiction of a constantly oozing grotesque-looking chimera. |
| 791 | * ShapeshifterSwanSong: Chaos Elfilis, upon finally being defeated, will glow brightly while white silhouettes of the appendages and heads of the various species they absorbed reach out and recede back into it, seemingly desperately looking for a form to take before finally [[DeaderThanDead dissipating into motes of light]]. |
| 792 | * SignatureMove: When Fecto Elfilis TurnsRed, it unveils this with its first attack -- opening a dimensional rift, then using psychic powers to bombard the battlefield with meteors it launches through the rift. The Japanese guidebook implies that this was how it began its invasion of the New World, and its SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum has it attempting the same thing [[ColonyDrop with Planet Popstar as the "meteor"]]. |
| 793 | * SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Has the Waddle Dees they captured put to work on [[HamsterWheelPower hamster wheels]] in order to give them more energy. The Japanese version has Fecto Forgo explicitly call them "servants". |
| 794 | * TheSociopath: Highly [[TheChessmaster manipulative]], callously kidnaps and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslaves]] the Waddle Dees, and tries to ColonyDrop an entire ''planet'' on Kirby when they can't get what they want, namely Elfilin's body. To make things worse, Elfilin's existence means they had a semi-functioning moral compass and understood what good and evil are, but reuniting with him does ''nothing'' to dampen their sociopathic interests, making it clear that Fecto Elfilis goes out of their way to commit vile and self-serving deeds. |
| 795 | * SoreLoser: The sorest in the entire franchise -- they try to make the New World and Planet Popstar collide when Kirby manages to separate Elfilin from them. {{Justified|Trope}}, as explained in the guide, by the fact that Fecto Forgo lacks [[TheConscience Elfilin's conscience]] or higher-order thinking skills -- it has the mind of a child, and everyone knows how poorly children can take a loss. |
| 796 | * TheSoulless: {{Subverted|Trope}}. In the English version, Elfilin is described as the "small, compassionate soul" that tempers Fecto Elfilis's power, which would seemingly make Fecto Forgo this. However, the postgame shows that it survived its apparent death as "Soul Forgo", a [[TheDisembodied disembodied spirit]]. This means that Fecto Forgo is [[TheSociopath only metaphorically soulless]], not literally. |
| 797 | * SpaceMaster: Fecto Elfilis is known for their complete mastery over space and teleportation, which is what helped the civilization that captured them to develop intergalactic travel. They can even open gates to Another Dimension. |
| 798 | * SphereOfDestruction: Towards the end of the Forgo Leon battle, Soul Forgo can temporarily remove itself from its host to perform "Soul Crash", an [[UnholyNuke enormous explosion of dark magic]] that expands up until the far corners of the arena where its blast radius arbitrarily ends. |
| 799 | * SphereOfPower: Chaos Elfilis's absolute final form is a pale blue orb surrounded by white, [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black, and red]], and it gains the attacks of previous Soul bosses -- notably Drawcia, Marx, Magolor, and Void -- in the process. |
| 800 | * StarfishAliens: Their larva form looks like a strange, gigantic embryo with IcyBlueEyes, a [[MyBrainIsBig huge forehead]], and large Elfilin-like ears, one of which is visibly melting. |
| 801 | * StrandedInvader: Fecto Elfilis once attempted to invade the New World and [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the biosphere]], but ever since its capture and subsequent degeneration into Fecto Forgo, it can't so much as leave its Eternal Capsule. |
| 802 | * SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: When Kirby manages to separate Elfilin from Fecto Elfilis, they respond by pulling Planet Popstar out of orbit and sending it on a collision course with the new world in a final effort to destroy Kirby. Given the added information from the ''Perfect Support Guide'' about Fecto Forgo and Elfilin, it's very likely a [[PsychopathicManchild literal]] temper tantrum. |
| 803 | * SuperingInYourSleep: While they are technically kept in stasis within the [[TailorMadePrison Eternal Capsule]], their DreamWeaver powers have allowed them to brainwash Leongar into commanding the Beast Pack and following their desires via powerful {{telepathy}}. |
| 804 | * SuperSpeed: The wide range of movements Elfilis displays for their boss battle is practically extraordinary. Thanks to their gigantic pair of EarWings, they take a substantial use them to swiftly swerve around the arena while being perpetually airborne. Whenever they launch various [[SwordBeam Sword Beams]], huge chunks of weaponized debris, or just freely lurking in the air, at certain points of the fight, they'll suddenly dive and will make a ''quick and frightening beeline right in front of Kirby unexpectedly'', likely as an attempt to give players a well-timed JumpScare from their immense maneuverability. Even just one singular swoop from their powerful EarWings is all that it takes to rapidly propel them into the sky. They will also appear from one side of the arena to the other by simply swooping themselves across to avoid Kirby. The official guide even mentions this, explaining that Elfilis can travel at the speed of light. |
| 805 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: |
| 806 | ** To Zero. Both are [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abominations]] who favor possessing and corrupting the inhabitants of other worlds to spread chaos and despair. Both have spawned a good entity from them which has gone on to befriend Kirby and oppose them. During the final battle in the Ultimate Cup Z, Chaos Elfilis's color scheme changes to resemble Zero's and its final phase resembles Zero even more closely and starts using several attacks of other beings associated with Void. |
| 807 | ** Retroactively this to the Master Crown as of ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe''. Both of them are portal hopping villains that are not seen until the end of their games, possess Kirby's newest friends (Magolor and Elfilin) for their final battles, are revealed to have survived the events of their games in the postgame modes and possess the assembled main reward as their new body (Leon's soul/the first Gem Apple). Additionally, both have a extremely disturbing version of a song prior to the final battles of the True Arena/Ultimate Cup Z and overarching lore indicates that both of them were once dire threats to another planet, though while Fecto Forgo/Elfilis came from outer space to attack said planets, the Master Crown was created by the Ancients. |
| 808 | * SwordBeam: Chaos Elfilis gains the ability to shoot red cutters of RazorWind from their spear, one of many new moves they gained from absorbing Morpho Knight. |
| 809 | * TailorMadePrison: The Eternal Capsule at the top of Lab Discovera was specially created by the new world's scientists to house Fecto Forgo in a permanent stasis. It's implied that this is the only thing keeping their physical form intact, as without it they immediately [[ImMelting melt into blue goo]]. |
| 810 | * TakingYouWithMe: All of its forms try to attack Kirby in defeat. |
| 811 | ** When Kirby defeats Fecto Forgo, it tries to grab Kirby and Elfilin in its gooey pseudopods. Watch their trajectory, and you'll see that most of those tentacles went after Kirby first. |
| 812 | ** When Kirby separates Elfilin from Fecto Elfilis, their body starts to dissolve. So they try to collide Planet Popstar with the new world to make sure Kirby (and by extension, the entire populace of both worlds) dies with them. |
| 813 | ** After Soul Forgo is removed from Leon's body, they immediately launch into a second boss battle, tentacles at the ready and [[DeathGlare staring daggers at Kirby]]. [[BaitAndSwitchBoss However]], a certain [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth butterfly of paradise]] has other plans... |
| 814 | ** As both Fecto and Chaos Elfilis, they use their telekinesis to launch their spear Antares at Kirby, dealing a good amount of damage if he can't finish using Mouthful Mode before Antares makes impact. |
| 815 | * TelepathicSpacemen: An immensely powerful (and evil) alien whose [[ThinkingUpPortals extraordinary abilities]] are an extension of its PsychicPowers. |
| 816 | * TeleportSpam: Oddly, despite being a SpaceMaster from the get-go, Fecto Elfilis only does the signature ''Kirby'' FinalBoss teleport spamming in their post-game Chaos form. It isn't a skill they picked up from Morpho Knight, either -- in the Japanese guidebook, the teleporting is referred to as "空間転移能力" (lit. "Spatial Transfer Ability"), which the Dream Discoveries Tour announcer says the people of the New World learned how to use for themselves after their thirty years of experiments on Elfilis. |
| 817 | * TerseTalker: They only speak about two or three words per sentence. {{Justified|Trope}}, as they have [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport very little energy]] and need to save their breath. |
| 818 | * ThinkingUpPortals: Has the ability to create star-shaped portals (referred to as 異空間ゲート "Another Dimension Gates" in the guide), which they use to send the residents of Planet Popstar to their world. They weaponize this ability as Fecto Elfilis, sending huge chunks of debris, [[SpectralWeaponCopy spears]], and even [[WaveMotionGun energy beams]] through their portals to hurt Kirby. Chaos Elfilis can fly into a portal to hurl themself at Kirby multiple times, [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Magolor Soul]]-style. |
| 819 | * TookALevelInDumbass: According to the ''Perfect Support Guide'', when Elfilin detached from Fecto Elfilis, Fecto Forgo lost some of its former intellect and rationality along with its compassion. Accordingly, Forgo is [[FountainOfYouth de-aged]] into what Fecto Elfilis looked like [[EnfantTerrible as a larva]], heavily implying that Fecto Forgo regressed back to a more [[PsychopathicManchild child-like]] brain. |
| 820 | * TornadoMove: Rarely, Chaos Elfilis can stab its spear into the ground and create a ring of tornadoes around itself. The attack is nearly identical to Morpho Knight's tornadoes. |
| 821 | * 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 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. |
| 822 | * UltimateLifeForm: Their BossSubtitles as Fecto Elfilis refer to them as the "Ultimate Life-Form". |
| 823 | * UnblockableAttack: Chaos Elfilis' version of [[WreathedInFlames Deadly Sun]] in its second phase is the only attack in the entire game that cannot be avoided by dodge-rolling or guarding, forcing you to take note of the meteor-formed stepping-stones to jump over it. |
| 824 | * TheUnfettered: Will do ''anything'' to get their original form back, from [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwashing]] to {{slavery|Is A Special Kind Of Evil}} to outright [[TheAssimilator assimilation]]. When their body is destroyed for good and their soul is left behind, they end up settling for [[GrandTheftMe Leongar's body]]. In the guidebook, this is explained by Fecto Forgo ''literally'' not having anything to hold it back -- its [[TheConscience conscience]] and capacity for higher reasoning, namely Elfilin, is long gone, making it about as stubborn as an angry child who has set their mind on something to the exclusion of all else. |
| 825 | * TheUnfought: Soul Forgo is the only form of Fecto Forgo (as well as the only Soul Form boss in general) to go without a battle, as [[BaitAndSwitchBoss Morpho Knight shows up and removes them]]. They ''do'' attack with energy balls and explosions during the battle with Forgo Leon (similar to [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Taranza]]), but they can't be attacked directly. |
| 826 | * VengefulGhost: Soul Forgo, the [[TheDisembodied disembodied spirit of Fecto Forgo]], is just as spiteful as it normally is on the physical plane. It might even be ''more so'', since it created the Phantom Beast bosses as part of a calculated revenge plot. |
| 827 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Kirby's cute, lighthearted adventure about saving his friends from cute [[FunnyAnimal cartoon animals]] goes right out the window when this [[BodyHorror frightening-looking]] monster shows up. |
| 828 | * VilerNewVillain: Whereas previous ''Kirby'' villains, even the [[OmnicidalManiac world-ending]] ones, were either {{Tragic Villain}}s, [[ReluctantPsycho genuinely insane]], [[AIIsACrapshoot running on faulty programming]], or simply MadeOfEvil, Fecto Forgo stands out as one of the cruelest characters in the franchise. All the evil they do is consciously, willingly intentional, and for no purpose beyond malice, self-interest, and spite. |
| 829 | * VillainNoLongerIdle: After Leongar is beaten, it decides to break free from its containment with the intent of consuming everything until it merges back with Elfilin. |
| 830 | * VillainousBreakdown: Thrice in succession. |
| 831 | ** After Kirby defeats Leongar, Fecto Forgo loses its patience, throwing away all its [[TheChessmaster carefully laid plans]] in favor of [[OmnicidalManiac assimilating EVERYTHING]]. |
| 832 | --> '''Fecto Forgo:''' ''You... You dare... Plan ruined. Important plan. Needed labor. Opened vortex. Found [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil workforce]]. Brought here. And yet? [[DidntSeeThatComing Error made]]. [[SpannerInTheWorks Irksome, pink contaminant]]... Careful planning. Now wasted. No more planning. No more patience. Instead... EVERYTHING. SHALL BE. CONSUMED.'' |
| 833 | ** They go through another one after Kirby frees Elfilin from them. They're so furious that they decide to ''ColonyDrop Planet Popstar onto Kirby's head,'' not caring about how many innocent lives will be destroyed in the process. |
| 834 | ** According to the Japanese guidebook, by the time of the Ultimate Cup Z, not even Fecto Forgo's [[{{Determinator}} extreme persistence]] is left by the time they become Chaos Elfilis. |
| 835 | -->'''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."'' |
| 836 | * VirtueIsWeakness: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}, then {{Inverted|Trope}}. In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, it's stated that Fecto Elfilis "left behind" the part of it that would become Elfilin (representing compassion, love, and rational thinking) in order to satisfy its [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitions and desire for conquest]]. But once [[LiteralSplitPersonality Elfilin separated from Elfilis]], the resulting entity, Fecto Forgo, was confined to a weak and unstable body. If Fecto Elfilis understood how important its virtues were, it might not have suffered so badly, especially since Elfilin's positive traits appear to be responsible for much of its physical strength. |
| 837 | * WalkingSpoiler: Its very existence is a spoiler in itself, given it doesn't appear until the end of the game. |
| 838 | * WaveMotionGun: Another powerful attack they wield is being able to fire a long-ranged stream of magenta-colored energy right out of their DNA-shaped antlers, and its capable of shredding Kirby's health. |
| 839 | * WeakButSkilled: Unlike the majority of final bosses, who have a limited and choreographed repertoire of highly ruinous attacks, alongside having utterly massive amounts of health and defense, Fecto Elfilis' attacks are individually only averagely damaging and their health is decently high but not to DamageSpongeBoss levels, but they make up for that with incredible speed in both movement and attacking, a rather big repertoire of varied attacks, and engaging in ConfusionFu to trip up players. They abandon this and become full-blown StrongAndSkilled when they turn into [[TrueFinalBoss Chaos Elfilis]], however, keeping their speed and skill, even amplifying their repertoire, while adding the raw power of Morpho Knight and their gathered souls to make all of their attacks rack up plenty of damage, especially when they go OneWingedAngel into their SphereOfPower form, where a single laser attack can take off a tenth of Kirby's health. |
| 840 | * WeaponBasedCharacterization: It's very fitting for Fecto Elfilis, an UltimateLifeForm, to wield a spear, since spears are some of the most versatile and effective melee weapons out there. |
| 841 | * WhatTheHellAreYou: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, this is pretty much the first line out of Fecto Forgo's mouth after Kirby defeats Leongar. |
| 842 | -->'''Fecto Forgo:''' ''おのれェ… あれは一体、なんダ...?''[[labelnote:Translation]][=CuRsE=] yOuUu... [=WhAT=] thE hElL aRe [=YoU=]...?[[/labelnote]] |
| 843 | * WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: As Chaos Elfilis, their body is predominantly white with many red highlights courtesy of Morpho Knight, with some [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black]] thrown in there. |
| 844 | * WhoDares: The first thing that comes out of their mouth in English after Kirby defeats Leongar and saves Elfilin a second time reads as: "You... you dare..." |
| 845 | * WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody: The post-game reveals that as long as Fecto Forgo's soul is intact, they're able to survive the complete and total destruction of their body. Even after Chaos Elfilis is defeated, a small part of them still survives. However, Elfilin accepts that part into himself, accepting that Elfilis is part of him. |
| 846 | * WickedHeartSymbol: Much like Elfilin, their larval form and Fecto Elfilis has a vaguely heart-shaped silhouette. |
| 847 | * YouAreNumberSix: Their designation in Lab Discovera is "Specimen ID-F86". |
| 848 | * YourSoulIsMine: Chaos Elfilis, Fecto Forgo's [[TrueFinalBoss absolute final form]], is the result of their soul mixing together with the souls of all the species they (as well as [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth Morpho Knight]]) have assimilated in the past. It backfires when Chaos Elfilis is finally defeated, causing them to [[{{Reincarnation}} reincarnate]] as a harmless mote of light. |
