History Characters / KirbyVillainousFactions

* MovesetClone: By way of being an EvilTwin of Meta Knight, the two shares many moves. [[spoiler:''Triple Deluxe'', however, gives him new ones.]]

* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler:This is implied to be one of the primary motivations for her betrayal — she's actually Haltmann's missing daughter, who he'd been forced to forget courtesy of Star Dream.]]

** A more tragic example that led to [[spoiler:Sectonia's StartOfDarkness — according to WordOfGod, Taranza unwittingly caused Sectonia's insanity when he decided to give her the Dimension Mirror as a gift, not knowing of the imprisoned Dark Meta Knight]]. Had he not done so, the events of the entire game would have been avoided, and [[spoiler:Sectonia would continue to rule Floralia as the kind and fair ruler she originally was.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: By kidnapping Dedede right in front of Kirby's eyes, Taranza inadvertently leads Kirby to start chasing him all around Floralia to his place. The fixing is twofold: Kirby, [[spoiler:the true hero that the People of the Sky expected]], would be helping the People of the Sky along the way and go to stop the whole mess, [[spoiler:while bringing the "false hero" King Dedede turns out to be helping as well — with him firing Kirby with a cannon to get to Sectonia's second form and then freeing Kirby from her when she grabbed him, something that the final narration notes as the Dreamstalk working InMysteriousWays]].

* SuddenlyVoiced: Downplayed. After spending most of the game as a SilentAntagonist, Taranza finally speaks during the Royal Road level. However, he only gets dialogue — not actual voice acting or even VoiceGrunting. He does get some grunting later... through the Taranza Mask in ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe''.

* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler:This is implied to be one of the primary motivations for her betrayal — she's actually Haltmann's missing daughter, who he'd been forced to forget courtesy of Star Dream.]]

* BrilliantButLazy: He makes all of these destructive machines, yet he never gets out of his CoolChair. [[spoiler:He's also far from a slouch in combat, if Star Dream's [[IFightForTheStrongestSide administrator requirements]] are any indication — though he's still far from a match for Kirby.]]

* SanitySlippage: Over the course of his battle with Kirby, he becomes more desperate and vicious — by the time you get to the last phase of the battle with him, he's snapped so completely that he summons drones to hunt you down and then obliterates them in his attempt to vaporize you with laser cannons. [[spoiler:The loss of his daughter and both failed attempts to establish a PsychicLink with Soul Dream should also be considered.]]

** [[spoiler:For its Soul OS form, [[KaizoTrap after its heart is beaten]], [[LastDitchMove it will try to take Kirby down]] with three expanding red rings so deadly, they may as well count as this, considering they leave Kirby with one pixel of health left if his health is full — although this is if [[NintendoHard you can even get to this point with full health]].]] Doubles as TakingYouWithMe.

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Star Dream Soul OS serves as the final battle of the True Arena. Besides all three original phases of the fight being a lot tougher, it also adds a fourth phase — the [[ReactorBoss Heart of Nova]] -- which itself has two distinct sub-phases. Hope you've got a good fifteen minutes to spare.]]

-->'''Hyness:''' Well then... It seems... we do not have enough energy... to revive our Dark Lord... Must we... allow ourselves... to fall... into oblivion? [[LittleNo No.]] NO! [[RapidFireNo No no no no no no! NONONONONONONONONO!!!]] '''[[BigNo NOOOOO, I SAAAAY!!!]]''' We are the masters of a power driven to the far reaches of the universe, and we have but one desire! Can one such as you possibly fathom how dearly we have clung to this dream across the aeons? How could you! You couldn’t! Never ever ever! We who once faced those who were in such fear of our power that they sealed us away and [[TheExile banished us to the edge of the galaxy!]] US! As if THAT loveliness wasn’t enough, they tried to [[UnPerson erase our very existence from history]]! RUDE! [[MagicVersusScience Only through our magic were we able to overcome their science and achieve great prosperity]]! We alone were responsible for stopping that repulsive nightmare of a galactic crisis, [[UngratefulBastard yet this is how you repay us!]] This won’t stand! [[ThisIsUnforgivable It won’t be forgiven! It won’t be forgotten! Never ever EVER!]] [[TheyCalledMeMad Those who called us mad, are you listening?]] You left us at the edge of the galaxy to be forgotten, then went along your merry way, probably living somewhere pretty and peaceful! But know this! Your future is a farce! You have none! We, [[CallBack masters of a matter most dark]], vow to be restored, as foretold in the book of legend, which everyone thought was just a fairy tale! It WASN’T! [[YouCantThwartStageOne We have already obtained the vessel that contains our Dark Lord]], and he will soon awaken and shower us in compassion! Look! The vessel of our Dark Lord is filling up even as we speak! Now the time for his greatness to enter our world has come! Welcome to a new history! A new age! [[PsychopathicManchild The age of awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARK LORD! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!]] '''Grace us, Gloriously Dark Looooooord!'''

* OmnicidalManiac: His goal is to destroy the entire universe through reviving [[spoiler:Void Termina]]. Why? Well, A) he seems to desire revenge against the Ancients, and B) [[ForTheEvulz he's just nuts about his Dark Lord]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:The resurrection of Void Termina drives the plot of ''Star Allies'', but it only appears in person during the final battle. Connections to the Master Crown and the Dark Matter invaders may also tie it with their respective games.]]
* GroundPunch: This is one of the attacks that it uses during Phase 1. It unleashes multiple waves of energy.

* SatanicArchetype: Called "Destruction God"? Check. [[spoiler:Can be called forth with HumanSacrifice? Check. Implied to be responsible for several of the evils in the world? ''Aaand check.'']] His body even looks almost satanic, with menacing horns and a colossal, dark-stained figure.

* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that he’s not only the final boss but also has most of his entries spoilered out makes him this.

[[folder:Dark Taranza]]
[[quoteright:284:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tkcd_dakfi9axsagrovi.png]]

Taranza's Mirror Dimension self(?), and the main antagonist of ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''.

* BeeAfraid: Interestingly, Dark Taranza incorporates some bee-like motifs in his design [[MixAndMatchCritters on top of the spider designs]], possessing a stinger and using Queen Sectonia's color palette.
* BigBad: Of ''VideoGame/TeamKirbyClashDeluxe''. [[spoiler:Until King D-Mind kills him off.]]
* BossRemix: His battle theme is a remix of Taranza's {{Leitmotif}} from ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe''.
* TheCorrupter: He somehow turned our Taranza evil again using the power of [[spoiler:the Black Mirror]].
* DashAttack: He has an attack where he covers himself in energy and then dashes across the stage.
* EnergyBall: Like Taranza, he can either spam multiple small energy balls, or fire a large one that [[PinballProjectile ricochets off the screen's edges]].
* EvilCounterpart: Taranza's Mirror World counterpart. Magolor in [[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/jlkj/special/ this page]] explains that Taranza once wished upon a [[spoiler:black]] magic mirror that he could meet his master again. Said mirror absorbed Taranza's dark heart while reflecting his image, and that's how Dark Taranza was born.
* FloatingLimbs: [[MultiArmedAndDangerous 6 of them]], just like Taranza.
* GemstoneAssault: Like Taranza, he can throw big diamonds at Team Kirby from the background.
* GodzillaThreshold: After being defeated by the heroes, [[spoiler:he invokes the power of the Black Mirror to summon the most powerful warrior possible to fight for him. [[EvilIsNotAToy It ends poorly for him.]]]]
* HornsOfVillainy: His horns are longer and look more sinister than Taranza's.
* {{Irony}}: Both he and regular Taranza attempted to summon their master after they're cornered by the hero(es). [[spoiler:Their respective masters smack them in return, although it's fatal in case of Dark Taranza.]]
* LiterallyShatteredLives: As per tradition with Mirror Dimension folks, he shatters like glass upon defeat.
* NonIndicativeName: He's only "dark" in the sense of being Taranza's EvilCounterpart. His body actually looks [[LightIsNotGood quite vibrant]], not unlike Sectonia.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes glow red instead of white, and he's significantly more dangerous than Taranza.
* SmashingSurvival: He can summon a large energy net ball that can trap one or more Kirbys inside. Either mash buttons, or have other Kirbys smash it from the outside, to break free.
* TeleportSpam: He teleports more often than Taranza.
* TurnsRed: He's the only enemy in his game that averts this, having no "the boss is furious!" text showing up and using the same pattern the whole battle.
* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:His final moments has him begging for his life before King D-Mind shatters him.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Up until the final battle, there was nothing to suggest that Taranza had a Mirror World counterpart at all, let alone that ''he'' was the true instigator of the monster attacks.

[[folder:King D-Mind]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_d_mind_false.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Shadow Came Back]]

A strange cross between King Dedede (or Shadow Dedede) and Dark Mind, and the true final boss of ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''.

* AnAxeToGrind: Like Shadow Dedede, he switches to this after TurningRed. He also possesses a vicious SpinAttack with it.
* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: In the first battle against him (and Dark Taranza), the background is the same as the previous battles in the Decisive Battlefield: with the shining orange ground and night sky with what looks like planets with big rings. In the True Final Battle, it changes into a giant black hole in the background, along with multiple shiny crystals like those in ''Return to Dream Land's'' Another Dimension, along with the shiny platinum ground.
* BadBoss: His response to [[spoiler:Dark Taranza summoning him to help]] is to smack him dead.
* BellyMouth: Like Dark Matter-possessed Dedede and Shadow Dedede before him, he can open up a mouth in his belly and then fire big black {{energy ball}}s at the Kirbies. But then it gets UpToEleven when he TurnsRed: The belly grows to ''massive'' proportions and reveals Dark Mind's giant eyeball form inside, and also flies around trying to bite the Kirbies before floating to the top of the screen and [[EyeBeams firing lasers from the eye]].
* ChromeChampion: He looks more metallic in the True Final Battle.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: He's classified as a land-bound boss in that Time Beam's attack gives regular amount of time-stop charge against him (flying bosses will receive more). Yet it's actually rare for him to walk around, especially after he TurnsRed.
* CoolMask: One bearing Dark Mind's likeness, no less. He's to Shadow Dedede what Masked Dedede is to regular Dedede.
* DarkIsEvil: Colored mainly black and definitely a bad guy.
* DisproportionateRetribution: After Dark Taranza summons him to the battlefield, [[spoiler:the first thing he does is murder him in cold blood]]. May also qualify as YouHaveFailedMe.
* DropTheHammer: Like Masked and Shadow Dedede, he's armed with a hammer that can fire stars and flames.
* FusionDance: He's a fusion of [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Shadow Dedede]] and [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror Dark Mind]]. It also stems from how Masked Dedede's mask looks like a toned-down version of Dark Mind's helmet, according to the developers' talk in Miiverse. In another interview with Shinya Kumazaki, King D-Mind came to be when Dark Taranza desperately pictured a thought of the "strongest warrior" with the [[spoiler:black mirror]]; Magolor theorized ([[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/jlkj/special/ here]]) that the king of Dream Kingdom (the setting of the game) may have once [[spoiler:reflected himself upon the mirror]], as the being that Dark Taranza imagined is based on said king's image.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Nothing is said about his motivation or personality; he was simply made to attack the heroes.
* GroundPound: He's got a stomping attack like regular Dedede would. [[ShockwaveStomp It sends out shockwaves,]] too. In the second phase, he may also jump up and then fall with a chop of his axe, causing a dome-shaped explosion.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: Not him, but [[spoiler:the mirror he gets sucked into once you finish his second fight]].
* TrueFinalBoss: Of ''VideoGame/TeamKirbyClashDeluxe''.
* WalkingSpoiler: Nothing really foreshadows his existence until Dark Taranza summons him, and thus he's naturally spoileriffic.

!Sectra Clan

[[folder:Taranza]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taranza.png]]

-> First appearance: ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe''
--> Voiced by: Hirokazu Ando

An arachnoid mage who kidnaps King Dedede as part of an evil plan, setting off the events of ''Triple Deluxe''.

* BackFromTheDead: Implied to be the same entity, but never explicitly stated.

* AmbiguousSituation: Exactly what connection it has with Dark Matter is unclear. Most people believe it to simply be a rogue Dark Matter being, but the 20th anniversary encyclopedia mentions it in the same breath as 0[[superscript:2]] (i.e. an unknown connection with Zero), due to its Japanese name (see below).

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyness_hooded.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Unhooded '''(SPOILER WARNING!)''']]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyness.PNG[[/labelnote]]]]

So are they actually siblings or members of a sisterhood of mages? Just like Kirby and Meta Knight's secrets, this is another mystery that stirs the imagination!

* SiblingTeam: Implied; Hyness' pause description says that the three are sisters. The Japanese version instead mentions that they're nuns, i.e another meaning of "sisters". Note that Hyness is called an "Officiant".

* TheStoic: It is a computer, after all.

* TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: Its technological level far surpasses anything else on Dream Land, and it's the source of most (if not all) of HWC's techs.

* TechnologicalyAdvancedFoe: Its technological level far surpasses anything else on Dream Land, and it's the source of most (if not all) of HWC's techs.

** [[spoiler:The insides of his body also brings to mind the Dark Star, i.e where Zero Two resigns in ''64''.]]

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ksa_unknown_cloak_person_reduced_size.png]]

* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: [[spoiler: Dark Nebula only leaves Daroach's body after being beaten by Kirby]].

** [[spoiler: Essence of Chaos, Void Soul.]]

[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Unhooded '''(SPOILER WARNING!)''']]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/859ce5d9_2408_45ab_a112_d10a293d11f4.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

The Haltmann Works Company's mother computer and the FinalBoss of the game.

The dark god worshipped by Hyness and the FinalBoss of the game.

* HumanShield: [[spoiler:In his second phase fight, he may use his general's bodies as a shield while he throws dark balls from behind them.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed - [[spoiler:throwing a Friend Heart at the Void Soul will deal damage towards it, though not a titanic amount. [[EasterEgg No other bosses in the game]] [[OutsideTheBoxTactic have this weakness.]] It's also a call-back to the Love-Love Stick in ''Dream Land 3'', that shoots hearts, being the only thing that can hurt Zero.]]
