Water Galboros is a mid-boss in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. He gives the Water ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance[]

Despite being the larger version of the Water Galbo, Water Galboros has a few major differences in appearance when compared to its smaller counterpart: instead of having similar eyes with white sclera and black pupils, Galboros has sharper, almost cat-like eyes, yellow sclera, red irises, and black pupils. Additionally, it has orange eyelids, three striped markings, and angled spikes (facing downwards) on its back resembling the dorsal fins of a shark. Its snout is somewhat resembles a shark's snout and has small freckles on it.

The EX form of Water Galboros continues to retain its basic shape. At the same time, however, it bears more physical details than before and the tops of its skin have become a different, almost purplish, shade of blue. Its jaw is now red, and its stripes, eyelids, and spikes have tints of red and purple. In addition to alterations in color, Water Galboros EX also has angled spikes that curve upwards.

Attacks[]

The Water Galboros, like Water Galbo, can attack by firing water from its mouth, either releasing it as a wave or spitting globules of it in varying arcs; one shot at middle range, or two at short and long range. It can also hop forward twice before taking a leap. Once it has less than half health, it can shake itself in place, showering the vicinity with water, and can also charge in the direction of the player's character, running into a wall nearby. In addition, its current attacks will also be modified. It can fire three shots of water at short, middle and long range, finishing with two simultaneous shots at both short and long range. It can also fire two water waves at once. Finally, it can take three short hops, either slowly or swiftly, before leaping.

In its EX form, Water Galboros is capable of spitting two shots of water instead of one, and can shake off more water while thrashing around. It is now able to perform small lunges forward as well; being hit by these attacks will cause it to swallow the player's character, forcing him or her to shake the Wii Remote (albeit while the character takes moderate damage). Its leaping attack is preceded by either one short hop or four quick hops. It is able to fire two water waves from the start. Below half health, it will add a third shot of water that travels further, may fire a third water wave, and will become more erratic in its leaping patterns; either two short hops followed by two long ones, or six quick hops followed by a leap. It will also try to perform its new lunge attack with increased frequency, such as if the player is nearby after its charge attack.
