These guys live in magma. They sink if you step on them. Careful!
— Cast Description • Kirby's Epic Yarn

Magmotamus is a large, red blob-like creature with a squiggly mouth. It has yellow spikes and black and white button eyes. It slightly resembles Galbo.

Games[]

Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn[]

Magmotamus first appears in Lava Landing and later appears in Meta Melon Isle; it does not attack and instead serves as a platform to cross lava. Magmotamus sinks if the player stands on it for too long, after which it will rise back up. Turning into Weight form and pounding the top of its head dazes Magmotamus and keeps it from sinking; however, pounding the same Magmotamus twice will cause it to break into bits of yarn, and Kirby will fall into the lava below.

Etymology[]

Magmotamus' name is a combination of magma and hippopotamus.
