==Biography==
===Past===
At an unknown point in time, Landia came into possession of the Master Crown and kept it away from evil-doers for millenia.
===Kirby's Return to Dream Land===
One day, a feliform alien mage named Magolor arrived on Halcandra and fought Landia, failing to defeat him. Magolor then claimed the Lor Starcutter and fled to Planet Popstar, meeting and manipulating Kirby and his friends into repairing his damaged Lor Starcutter. After they repaired his ship, he took them to Halcandra. Upon their arrival, in an effort to protect the Master Crown from Magolor, Landia responded by attacking them, which Magalor used to convince Kirby and the others that he was evil and had taken over Halcandra. After Kirby and his companions made it to the top of the tallest volcano after getting through the level Dangerous Dinner where Landia was, they engaged him in battle and defeated him. However, after this, Magolor took the Master Crown from him and revealed his true colors by admitting he had manipulated them all along so that he would be able to take it from Landia, who he otherwise couldn't defeat on his own, and uses it to make himself powerful enough to conquer the universe, with Planet Popstar being the first planet he intends to subjugate.
After this, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee team up with Landia, who splits into four separate dragons so that he can take each one of them through the dimensional rift Magolor just opened up and went through, to stop him. They then engage the Lor Starcutter in Another Dimension, which is being controlled by Magolor. They manage to defeat it, but then Magolor uses his energy balls to knock down each of them, after which Kirby and his companions had to defeat him without Landia's help. They manage to successfully defeat Magolor, which results in him being transported to another dimension and the Master Crown being destroyed, but Another Dimension begins to collapse. Thankfully, Landia returns with the Lor Starcutter, which he uses to rescue the heroes by reopening the rift to Planet Popstar and getting them through it just in time. After seeing Kirby and his friends return safely home, Landia (presumably) takes the ship back to Halcandra.
