Water Galboros

Water Galboros is a mid-boss appearing only in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition. When defeated, Kirby can inhale it to get the Water ability. It is a much larger version of the standard Water Galbo.

Water Galboros appears in the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition as well. It appears in the Smash Combat Chamber EX.

Appearance
Water Galboros is a colossal version of the Water Galbo. Despite this, the two enemies have a few differences in physical appearance. The larger Galboros has curved eyes, yellow pupils, and orange eyelids; qualities that the smaller Water Galbo does not have. It also has orange spots and angled spikes on its back.

The EX form of Water Galboros retains its basic shape, only now it has different colors and zig-zagged stripes instead of spots. Its mouth and eyelids, spots, and spikes are now red, and its body color has become a shade of light purple. Water Galboros EX also has a marks of violet below its eye and at the ends of each of its stripes.



Attacks
The Water Galboros' attacks include a regular water wave like a Water Galbo's, a jump attack, and a surfing attack where it charges to the opposite side of the screen in an attempt to ram the player character. It will then be stunned for a moment, which is a good opportunity to attack it. It will also shake itself and spin in place as if in a tantrum, showering the area around it with balls of water.

In its EX form, Water Galboros can now perform a small lunge. If a character is hit by the lunge, he will be swallowed, and the player must shake the Wii Remote to help him escape, albeit while he takes moderate damage. In addition, it will jump more than once in a row and spit two waves of water instead of only one at the start. Water Galboros will also throw a lot more bursts of water when it spins on the ground.
