'''Clawroline''', titled '''Lethal Leopard''' and known as '''Carol''' in short, is a [[character]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], appearing in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' as a member of the [[Beast Pack]]'s council. She is an agile anthropomorphic leopard entity with extended eyelashes and eyeshadow, along with nail polished claws, which are able to be greatly extended. She is famed by many, and according to the "Leon & Carol" [[figure]] description, she can only speak through meows. She is firstly fought as a [[boss]], but once the main game is completed, she becomes an ally to [[Kirby]] and his friends.

In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', Clawroline is fought in the [[Danger under the Big Top|last stage]] of [[Wondaria Remains]] as its [[boss]], at first under the cover of a cloak. She is later fought again in the [[Gathering of the Beast Council]] stage of [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]], and is also battled in the Meta Knight Cup and The Ultimate Cup in the [[Colosseum]]. After [[Elfilin]] uses the rest of his power to stop [[Popstar]] from crashing into the [[New World]] at the end of the game's main story, Clawroline saves him off-camera, and shows up in [[Waddle Dee Town]]. Here, she notices that all of the [[Beast Pack]] except for Leongar had been accounted for after things had returned to peace, and requests Kirby's assistance. Speaking to her at first will lead Kirby to a small rift that sucks him and Elfilin up into the game's [[Extra Mode]]—[[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams]], where Clawroline is replaced by a stronger doppelgänger known as [[Phantom Clawroline]] in the [[Forgo Park]] stage.

According to several [[figure]] descriptions, Clawroline was referred to by Carol and was closely partnered with [[Leongar]]—also referred to differently as Leon—before the Beast Pack was formed, as the two were the renowned leaders over the animal kingdom. Leon came across a long forgotten specimen known as "[[Fecto Forgo|ID-F86]]" one day and set his sights on the power offered by it. This resulted in the forming of the Beast Pack, and caused Leon to grow distant as he began speaking in a new language that Carol was unable to understand. She shifted her identity per what was preferred in the pack, becoming Clawroline instead, and joined in the scheme to stick by Leon, in the hopes that he would eventually change back to normal.

“ Clawroline tried to cut your adventure short at the Wondaria circus. She normally acts as a point of contact for the Beast Pack's boss, but she couldn't resist the chance to track Kirby down herself. Her grace and speed are quite impressive, so the rest of the pack think of her as an idol. She has lots of fans! ”
— Figure description from Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Clawroline, titled Lethal Leopard and known as Carol in short, is a character in the Kirby series, appearing in Kirby and the Forgotten Land as a member of the Beast Pack's council. She is an agile anthropomorphic leopard entity with extended eyelashes and eyeshadow, along with nail polished claws, which are able to be greatly extended. She is famed by many, and according to the "Leon & Carol" figure description, she can only speak through meows. She is firstly fought as a boss, but once the main game is completed, she becomes an ally to Kirby and his friends.

According to Shinya Kumazaki, her name in both Japanese and English is a mix of "cat", "claw", "line" (representing the limberness of her body lines),[1] and the name "Caroline", hence her nickname being "Carol". It could also be a pun including the word "feline".

Game appearances

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Bomb Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee mid-battle with Clawroline

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Clawroline is fought in the last stage of Wondaria Remains as its boss, at first under the cover of a cloak. She is later fought again in the Gathering of the Beast Council stage of Redgar Forbidden Lands, and is also battled in the Meta Knight Cup and The Ultimate Cup in the Colosseum. After Elfilin uses the rest of his power to stop Popstar from crashing into the new world at the end of the game's main story, Clawroline saves him off-camera, and shows up in Waddle Dee Town. Here, she notices that all of the Beast Pack except for Leongar had been accounted for after things had returned to peace, and requests Kirby's assistance. Speaking to her at first will lead Kirby to a small rift that sucks him and Elfilin up into the game's Extra Mode — Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams, where Clawroline is replaced by a stronger doppelgänger known as Phantom Clawroline in the Forgo Park stage.

According to several figure descriptions, Clawroline was referred to by Carol and was closely partnered with Leongar — also referred to differently as Leon — before the Beast Pack was formed, as the two were the renowned leaders over the animal kingdom. Leon came across a long forgotten specimen known as "ID-F86" one day and set his sights on the power offered by it. This resulted in the forming of the Beast Pack, and caused Leon to grow distant as he began speaking in a new language that Carol was unable to understand. She shifted her identity per what was preferred in the pack, becoming Clawroline instead, and joined in the scheme to stick by Leon, in the hopes that he would eventually change back to normal.

Completing the Extra Mode by defeating Forgo Leon and Morpho Knight in the end will roll a cutscene where Clawroline and the rest of the Beast Pack return several wayward soul pieces to Leon, returning him back to his old self and allowing Clawroline to reunite with him.

Attacks

Clawroline has 1,000 HP in Danger under the Big Top, 600 HP in Gathering of the Beast Council, and 700 HP at the Colosseum. In Wondaria Remains and the colosseum, she enters the second phase once her HP is less than 40% and takes 0.8× damage during the entire second phase. She also takes 0.2× damage when roaring at the start of the battle and before she roars at the start of phase 2.[2]

The following table lists all of Clawroline's attacks (attack names are from the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide). Attacks in italics are only used in Phase 2.
