Biography[]
Kirby[]
Kracko is a giant white cloud who usually appears in sky levels, or levels based around the sky. He is most often fought in his iconic full form that closely resembles a puffy cumulus cloud, but is sometimes encountered in his premature form, known as Kracko Jr. Kracko usually summons creatures that are cycloptic such as Waddles Doo and Flamers. While Kracko never wins against Kirby and friends, he will never be permanently defeated due to the fact that there are more clouds in the sky. When there is a sky, there will always be Kracko.

Trivia[]
- Kracko is the third most recurring boss in the series behind King Dedede and Whispy Woods, appearing in every main installment with the exception of Kirby 64, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
- In Kirby Star Allies, Kracko has an alternative form called Twin Kracko, used when he enters his second phase and generates a duplicate of himself.
- In the "Heroes in Another Dimension" sub-game, he has a parallel counterpart. This Parallel Kracko has the same design elements as his normal counterpart does, but is more menacing, with a yellow eye and a black body. His duplicate also appears with him during his first phase, and they merge during his second phase to increase his power, whereas Kracko generates his duplicate upon entering his second phase, instead of swallowing it.
- In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kracko's boss description refers to him as genderless, despite all other descriptions from games released before and after referring to him as a male.
- The pause screen description for Kracko DX in Kirby: Triple Deluxe suggests that Kracko will always reform as long as clouds still hang in the sky.
- The pause screen description for Holo-Kracko during the Holo Defense API boss in Kirby: Planet Robobot implies Kracko inhabited the sky of Pop Star since ancient times.
