Top 10 Creepiest Kirby Bosses
-
Drawcia Soul (Kirby: Canvas Curse)
A giant glob of paint with not one, not three, but five large golden-yellow eyes that constantly scream. What makes it even creepier is the fact that it doesn't scream at Kirby, but rather at the person who controls Kirby - the player. The boss fight even has a trippy, corrupted background that reminds me of Earthbound. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put this in an E-rated game wasn't aware of how video game ratings work.
But this boss fight also proves how epic HAL is when it comes to final bosses.
This character was the spark of the Soul bosses. If you thought Drawcia Sorceress looked creepy initially, this form multiplies her scary side by about 5 TIMES. She now laughs insanely not only at Kirby but also at the player. Her scream is also quite disturbing.

Zero (Kirby's Dream Land 3)
This guy shoots blood at you to attack. To add insult to injury, this monster appears as the secret final boss of Kirby's Dream Land 3, a game that looks like it was drawn with crayons and oil pastels. The bad ending is even worse...
This boss is so creepy. First, he takes control of King Dedede, and it's Dark Matter, but the last form is a white ball with a red eye. After that, it's just an eye, and he shoots blood.
The part where the red part of his eye comes out and still bleeds is the creepiest part of the fight.
-
Miracle Matter (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)
This boss doesn't have a single eye but more than 15 eyes. He can't take some forms like Kirby, but the creepiest part for me is the background.
The only thing scary about it is the eyes. It's just a simple polygon otherwise.
-
Magolor Soul (Kirby's Return to Dream Land)
Magolor Soul is creepy for what it represents. It's the twisted soul of a person you trusted - the friend you made is gone. I love how ambiguous it is. How much of the crown influences Magolor, or how much of this is truly Magolor?
This can either be who Magolor truly is, or your friend's soul being the puppet of a dark artifact. Either reading is scary, and I think because of the ambiguity, it's so creepy.
What is also creepy about the eyeball in his mouth is that it doesn't look at Kirby - it looks directly at the player who has Kirby under their control.
-
Zero Two (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)
A high-tier deity who just wanted friends but was shunned and ridiculed. Angered and corrupted, Zero Two just wanted to destroy everything and everyone. It's sad to see him in this state.
The reincarnation of Zero, an eldritch abomination. This guy still bleeds, and the false face is even creepier.
Zero Two was one of several creepy things in Kirby 64, but he was the creepiest.
-
Dark Matter (Kirby's Dream Land 2)
Dark Matter is a single-eye boss (yes, again). An eye within an eye? I don't really know. He can shoot dark matter... but I don't really know what that is.
Spike hair, eye freak, definitely top twenty material.
-
Marx Soul (Kirby Super Star Ultra)
This guy… where do I start? He's an absolute menace, always hungry - not just for food, but for power as well. His soul doubles his strength and his hunger for both power and food.
While technically a non-canon form of Marx (it's just a what if scenario), he is still extremely creepy - especially his death scream.
Marx was already a semi-scary final boss before the soul form, but now he's even scarier with his distorted voice and scream.
-
Dark Mind (Kirby & the Amazing Mirror)
This guy is a little less scary than Zero, but he's still terrifying. He's basically a mix of Nightmare and Zero. He also has not just one but THREE phases!
A big ball (it's the sun?) with an eye, and he likes mirrors. He's 100 times bigger than Kirby (PEGI 3).
-
Void Soul (Kirby Star Allies)
Void is the ultimate final boss of the series - and of all video gaming. As a primordial state of Kirby, it can be inferred that he has infinite power. Lore-wise, he is the single most frightening boss ever. If one isn't careful around him, he will become Dark Matter, the most evil force in the multiverse. The tension of Void's fate is enough to kill you outright.
Also, the theme. Seriously, the theme. We will all be talking about Astral Birth Void's theme for centuries to come.
Think of his creepy faces. One creepy face he makes is when he smiles hideously with dots for eyes. Another creepy face is when his eyes turn huge and connected. A third is when his eyes disappear, his mouth turns huge, and a yellow eyeball appears in his mouth. He looks a bit like Dark Matter when he does that.
-
King Dedede (Kirby's Dream Land 3)
It looks like somebody killed him and put dark matter inside of him.
Dedede's first phase is okay. Phase 2 is when it gets weird.
Dedede's not creepy, but the thumbnail is...
-
?
Fecto Forgo (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
This thing by itself was ugly, disgusting, and terrifying. When it becomes a boss, the ugliness, disgust, and terror are amplified. It has not one but AT LEAST 16 EYES on its multiple faces.
Let's be clear: Fecto Forgo by itself is what's scary, not really the fusion. The fusion is ugly at worst.
This thing is both ugly and scary in both forms. The boss form is even worse - it's way more disgusting.
-
?
Shadow Dedede (Kirby: Triple Deluxe)
Shadow Dedede is really cool for being a mirror/soulless version of King Dedede.
I think that the mouth-belly and the dead eyes are the scariest things.
Why does this guy exist? He isn't scary by himself, but the blood...
-
Kracko (Kirby series)
A popular Kirby boss, again a single eye. A white cloud...
A cloud with spikes and an eye. The first time I saw Kracko, I was terrified.
-
Hyness (Kirby Star Allies)
-
Nova (Kirby: Planet Robobot, The True Arena)
Star Dream Soul OS is a nightmare. It kills Haltmann, and even after it's defeated, it can still kill you with its many instant-kill attacks.
The NOVA thing is creepy. Its scream is a mix of a big baby (no pun intended) and a cat. And last is the heart of NOVA. According to the Kirby Wiki, when you defeat the heart of NOVA/Access Ark, it says it has President Haltmann's soul in there. You can hear the last bit of his soul scream in pain as the heart breaks up.
This guy is creepy as heck. He devoured a soul, and that soul just wanted to see his seemingly dead daughter one last time.
-
Void Termina (Kirby Star Allies)
It's not as scary as it is fitting the title "Final Boss."
He might kill you, and I am still scared of him.
Not as crazy as Void, but it's still creepy.
-
Dark Nebula (Kirby: Squeak Squad)
This boss is creepy! You are in front of a single-eyed black star!
Like Kracko, more weird than scary.
Why did this boss have to be so bad?
-
Queen Sectonia (Kirby: Triple Deluxe)
Queen Sectonia is hands down the best Kirby villain of all time.
The definition of "so beautiful it's scary."
-
Dark Meta Knight (Kirby: Triple Deluxe)
Dark Meta Knight is a character in the Kirby video game franchise developed by HAL Laboratory. He serves as the second main antagonist in several games, including Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. Unlike the honorable Meta Knight, Dark Meta Knight is a malicious and distorted mirror version of the original... read more
One thing that made me put this guy on the list is not only the blood, but the fact that he's always staring directly at you.
One reason: in his battle in Triple Deluxe, he shoots off blood as he appears.
-
Whispy Woods (Kirby's Dream Land 3)
Phase 2 isn't really scary. If there is a Whispy Woods boss that is scary (and there is), it's Clanky Woods.
-
King D-Mind (Team Kirby Clash Deluxe)
Honestly, being a fusion of a dead-eyed Shadow Dedede and a super-powerful mix of Nightmare Wizard and Zero, this guy is no joke in any way. He gets even creepier in his second phase, where he resembles Dark Mind's second-phase form.
This boss is a combination of King Dedede and Dark Mind in his first phase. His belly turns into a monster mouth, and a certain phase of Dark Mind appears in the monster mouth when he gets very serious. He turns into a black jewel statue before going back into the mirror at the end of the toughest fight yet.
-
Chef Kawasaki (Kirby Super Star)
His emotionless face. The face when he cooks Kirby. He looks like someone who has killed.
He literally cooks everything he finds. Now, what would happen if the random food is made by him?
I like how Chef Kawasaki is on the list, but Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight aren't. That's just great.
-
Galacta Knight (Kirby Super Star Ultra)
Not creepy at first, but Morpho Knight is why he scares me.
-
HR-H (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)
-
Shadowbite (Kirby: Mass Attack)
This guy is the reason I sleep with the lights on.
-
Heavy Lobster (Kirby Super Star)
