— Cast Description • Kirby's Epic Yarn |
Calderons are rare enemies in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Physical Appearance[]
Calderons are brown volcano-like creatures with black rocks inside of their body, an orange mouth, and a black button located at the top which serves as an eye. They look perpetually unhappy.
Games[]
Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[]
Calderons only appear in Lava Landing. Calderons sit in the lava of Lava Landing - as such, they are typically below Kirby or Prince Fluff. Calderons attack by shooting two flaming rocks into the air when the heroes get close. One rock goes a short distance upwards while the other goes a higher distance upwards. These rocks cannot be wrapped up into yarn balls. Calderons themselves can be wrapped up into yarn balls, however.
Etymology[]
Calderon is derived from the word caldera, a volcanic crater. It may also be derived from cauldron.
Its Japanese name ヨーガンス (Yōgansu) is derived from the word for lava, (溶岩/ようがん yougan).
Trivia[]
- In pre-release footage, Calderon shot out two Bomber bombs rather than two flaming rocks.
