| ~ Crowned Doomer's battle description. |
Grand Doomer is the secondary antagonist of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, its remake Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe and Deluxe's subgame Magolor Epilogue. It is presumably the leader of the Sphere Doomers and possibly the entire Doomer species. It is also the presumed second in command of Master Crown, who masterminds its revival during the Magolor Epilogue.
Physical Appearance[]
The Grand Doomer resembles a typical Sphere Doomer, only to be much larger in size. Its body is bright yellowish orange in color and is constantly emitting flames. As proof of its supposed title as the leader of the Sphere Doomers, the Grand Doomer possesses a row of thirteen tail feathers protruding from the bottom of its body. It also has a pair of red eyes and sharp teeth.
In Extra Mode, the Grand Doomer appears identical although it is now deep red and has white eyes.
As the Crowned Doomer, it takes a form extremely similar to the Rampaging Doomers, but larger, decorated with gold armor and with the Gem Apple Seed being kept inside its body.
Biography[]
The Grand Doomer serves as the boss of Nutty Noon and is the final boss of Pop Star. It holds and guards the Lor Starcutter's final part, the mast. When Kirby and friends enter the level, the mast is in plain sight. When they touch it, the part obtaining sequence plays, but it fades out as the part moves out of sight and Grand Doomer appears.
The large bat-like creature eats the part, forcing Kirby and the gang to fight it to gain the last part. Grand Doomer attacks by shooting fireballs from its mouth and has the ability to create four black holes, three of which disappear and Grand Doomer rushes out of the fourth. It can also bury itself in the ground shown by a black puddle. If Kirby or the others are above the puddle, they will be sucked in and take moderate damage unless they can shake out of it.
After half of its health is depleted, Grand Doomer moves much faster and shoots more fireballs. Once after depleting almost all of its health, Grand Doomer encases itself in a stone-like substance and rolls around the arena to crush the players, summoning numerous enemies between each roll. It cannot be damaged during this phase unless Kirby obtains the Ultra Sword from a Super Blade Knight that Grand Doomer may summon. It takes four swings to smash the stone shield, and if Kirby does not follow up quickly with a fifth and final strike, Grand Doomer regains the shield again. Once Grand Doomer goes down, it drops the mast.
In Extra Mode, Kirby and the gang fight Grand Doomer EX, who fights similarly to the normal version, although it spits fireballs at a much faster rate and its swoops cannot be dodged by crouching.
Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler[]
The Grand Doomer returns as the penultimate boss of the Magolor Epilogue, brought back to life by the Master Crown as the powerful Crowned Doomer, taking possession of the Gem Apple Seed Magolor managed to restore. While fighting similarly to the Grand Doomer, the Crowned Doomer fights by creating dark clouds that explode after a short while, and can use fire, ice, lightning and water-based attacks. When defeated, the Crowned Doomer explodes and releases the Gem Apple Seed for it to be possessed and corrupted by the Master Crown for the final battle.
