King (Deltarune)

==Summary==
King is the main antagonist of the first chapter of Deltarune. Upon being left behind by the Lightners in the past, King's heart grew embittered, building hatred towards all of them and craving the ability to create Dark Fountains to encompass all the light in the world.
Through the creation of his Dark Fountain by the Roaring Knight, King was granted power and sovereign authority, thus motivating him to further his plans. Having overthrown the other Card Kings of his Dark World, King turned into an evil ruler, forcing all the troops of the former Kings to obey him, and his son.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Spade Attack: King throws a series of spades that inflict damage on contact. They can appear on either the left or right side of the screen, and move horizontally to the other side.
*Swing Attack: King grabs the box with his chain and swings it up and down. A line of spades marches from the left center of the screen horizontally to the right, which deal damage on contact. In subsequent turns, the speed of the swing will increase and the spaces between the spades will decrease.
*Chain Attack: King launches a series of chains with a spade symbol at the top. Their trajectories are indicated by red lines. On later turns, the rate of the chains increases and the warning before each chain decreases.
*Spike Cage Attack: King traps the SOUL in a cage of spikes that bounces against a set of square-shaped walls. The spikes inflict damage on contact. On later turns, the size of the walls shrinks and the cage's bounce speeds up.
*Chained Cage Attack: King traps the SOUL in a spiked cage that is dragged by a chain to random positions indicated by a heart. The spikes inflict damage on contact. On later turns, spikes will appear on a fixed grid and will also deal damage.
Note: VS Matches involving a Darkner should only be made inside their compatible Dark Worlds as said characters cannot exist outside of them.
