THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR KIRBY STAR ALLIES

On the 30th I get to write up the effortpost for Hyness from Kirby Star Allies, for the complete monster cleanup on tvtropes. Here is an early version, please suggest improvements.

’’’Who is Hyness and what does he do?’’’

First seen in the opening cutscene of the game, where he is performing an odd cult ritual with the Jamba Heart (what he is using to restore his Dark Lord, Void Termina) which, unknown to the player at this point in the game, goes wrong and scatters pieces of it throughout the galaxy. He sends out his right-hand generals to retrieve the pieces. When Kirby eventually reaches Hyness, one of these generals tries to stop Kirby from interfering, and fails, Hyness, with the only dialogue ‘you appear to be in my way’, pushes them cruelly away. Hyness’ treatment of these generals is horrible, as in his boss fight he sucks the life energy out of their bodies, uses it for his own, and uses them as clubs/general weapons as well as meat shields. As well as that, as a final offering to his Dark Lord, he offers the generals as well as himself as sacrifices fully knowing that they very well might die.

``` As well as that more personal crime, there’s the fact that he’s, you know, ‘’reviving Satan’s equivalent.’’ It’s clear that his goal is to wipe out the universe which puts him on par with Star Dream while having far less resources. There’s a very long insane rant of dialogue pre-his boss fight which implies that long ago he was banished to the edge of the universe, but we have no idea what this was for and the most obvious reason is that he worships Satan. It’s unknown whether his cult was started around this time or the time the game takes place.

‘’’Heinous Standard’’’

I addressed this issue earlier in the post, but he outclasses anyone in his realm within the series. He’s about on par if not worse than Star Dream with far less resources and power other than magic, and his personal crimes of abuse set him apart. Did I mention that the generals pledged absolute loyalty to him for life?

‘’’Other Issues’’’

I’ve seen some people debate whether he’s played seriously but I say it comes down to a yes. His true face has been seen as silly by some (he looks like Squidward but mentally insane) but I think it just makes him more unsettling and it’s never played for laughs within the game itself. His ‘love’ of Void Termina doesn’t change anything either, it’s like how the High Priestess from Samurai Jack worships Aku.

I feel like it can be improved on.
