Magolor

Artwork of Magolor from Kirby's Return to Dream Land

**Magolor** is a character from *Kirby* series. He debuted in *Kirby's Return to Dream Land* as the main antagonist and final boss, tricking Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dee into rebuild his Lor Starcutter and conquer the universe.

Magolor would later return in *Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition*, where he apologized for his actions by building Kirby a theme park. Ever since then, he has appeared in later games as an ally.

## Appearance

Magolor is a short alien with no feet and detached hands with cream mittens. He is clad in a regal blue suit, complete with a white cape with gold trimmings and a dash of purple, gold-trimmed cog designs, and wears a white scarf with a blue belt interwoven. On this belt is a silver buckle. His face is brown with oval-shaped yellow eyes. The rest of his head is covered by his hood, with his cat-like ears underneath, causing his hood to poke out at its sides. The protrusions covering his ears have a gold ring around them and have white tips. One line of dialogue in *Kirby's Return to Dream Land* states that he has hair, though his hair is never shown.

## Personality

In *Kirby's Return to Dream Land*, no strong evidence of Magolor's true intentions is shown until Kirby and the others reach Halcandra. Magolor is an adept speaker who acts very politely, giving Kirby encouragement whenever the player visits him in the Lor Starcutter. He also appears to be very friendly at first and tells Kirby that he loves Popstar so much he doesn't want to leave it (interestingly, the latter is true). Once Kirby gets the Master Crown, however, Magolor completely breaks cover and turns into a cruel villain whose only goal is to conquer the universe. Magolor has no remorse using his Lor Starcutter (that Kirby just rebuilt for him) against Kirby and Landia, nor for shooting them down after the Lor is defeated. It is implied that his ruthless actions are due to the Master Crown's dark influence.

In *Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition*, Magolor remembers what Kirby did to him. Rather than taking an evil recourse, he builds Kirby a theme park to make up for his past actions. In all appearances since, Magolor is shown to primarily do good deeds for others, such as building an amusement park for King Dedede in *Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe* or running the Shoppe to help Team Kirby in *Team Kirby Clash Deluxe*. He still enjoys causing minor mischief, such as when he attacks Kirby during a Magolor Race to take the lead or obstructs the player's view with a blindfold banner. Magolor also appears to have an ego; he laughs at Kirby when he wins a race, praises himself for his good deeds, and declares Sunday to be "Magolor Day."

In *Team Kirby Clash Deluxe*, Magolor is shown to have a dark sense of humor; he acts like he's returning to his evil roots if Kirby performs certain actions, but only to get a reaction out of Kirby (and the player).

In *Kirby Star Allies*, his pause screen and Guest Star descriptions in English state that he is charming and that he is fearless. The Japanese version instead described him as "boldly lying."

## History

### *Kirby Star Allies*

Magolor returns as a playable Dream Friend in version 4.0.0 and onwards, along with Taranza, Susie, and The Three Mage-Sisters.

## Etymology

Magolor's name is a portmanteau of "magic," referencing his magical abilities, and the Lor Starcutter's name.
