King Dedede is often portrayed as egocentric, stubborn, and also gluttonous. This is evidenced by his self-proclaimed status as the King of Dream Land, and how he selfishly stole all of the food in Dream Land in the past. He also views Kirby as his rival, and often competes against him to prove his superiority. However, he is not evil. Over time, his selfish tendencies have faded away, and he has been portrayed and described as a heroic and dependable leader who is willing to protect Dream Land from outside threats, such as [[Nightmare]] and [[Queen Sectonia]]. He is also willing to accompany Kirby on his quests, such as in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' (where he is "worried" about safety of others going on such a dangerous trip, according to the Japanese website), and in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', where he eagerly joins Kirby, [[Bandana Waddle Dee]] and [[Meta Knight]] in order to collect pieces of the [[Lor Starcutter]] for [[Magolor]] (''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' implies that, like in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', he worries that the others "won't get far without [him]"). | King Dedede is often portrayed as egocentric, stubborn, and also gluttonous.

While King Dedede considered Kirby one of his enemies in the past, he resolved his grudge with Kirby in [[Revenge of the King]], a sub-game added in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. After that, their relationship became much friendlier, and he became one of Kirby's close companions. Dedede views Kirby as his "destined rival," as the games phrase it since ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', and the two are often described as "buddies" or "friendly rivals".

Their bond has grown to the point that when King Dedede arrived in the [[new world]] in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', he was "crestfallen" that he couldn't find Kirby, and is genuinely happy to see him once he breaks free from the Beast Pack's brainwashing. | ||
Ultimately, despite his rocky past, Dedede grew to understand that Kirby is the true savior of Dream Land, and does not hesitate to assist him during times of peril. He is also very caring and protective of the Waddle Dees who serve him. For example, he spares Bandana Waddle Dee from fighting Kirby in Revenge of the King, and risks his own life for the safety of [[Minion Waddle Dee|a single Waddle Dee]] in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. | Ultimately, despite his rocky past, Dedede grew to understand that Kirby is the true savior of Dream Land, and does not hesitate to assist him during times of peril.

King Dedede returns in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' as a boss, titled '''His Royal Nemesis''' like in ''Kirby Star Allies''. His appearance is drastically different from previous games. He somewhat resembles his ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' design, but with more prominent fur, torn clothing, and a mottled orange leopard-skin robe with red feathers sticking out of the collar. In addition, his pupils are now red and he has a stripe of red war paint across his face, somewhat resembling a blush. However, the former seems to be an effect of his possession - once freed, his pupils return to being a dark blue. | King Dedede returns in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' as a boss, titled '''His Royal Nemesis''' like in ''Kirby Star Allies''.

Upon arriving to the [[ | Upon arriving to the [[new world]] at the beginning of the game, his first thought is to look for Kirby, who, to his misery, hasn't arrived yet. After a while his mind slowly gets possessed by telepathic waves from [[Fecto Forgo]]'s larval state into helping the [[Beast Pack]]. Kirby first encounters him in the [[Winter Horns]] boss stage [[An Unexpected Beast King]], where once defeated, he successfully captures [[Elfilin]] and escapes to the Forbidden Island. The next time Kirby comes across King Dedede in [[In the Presence of the King]], he is further corrupted by a mask resembling a hog, now [[Forgo Dedede]]. After being beaten for the last time, King Dedede reunites with his Waddle Dees, no longer controlled by Fecto Forgo. However, this rejoice is abruptly interrupted when a stampede of Beast Pack members closes in on the group, and King Dedede decides to stay back and fight the beasts alone after saving one of his [[Waddle Dee]]s who tripped and fell behind Kirby and the others. | ||
After defeating the Ultimate Life-Form, King Dedede is shown to have survived (despite the Beast Pack horde catching up to Kirby at the end of the battle of [[Leongar]]), having moved into [[Waddle Dee Town]], along with the three Waddle Dees that were saved at the end of [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]], next to the Colosseum. | After defeating the Ultimate Life-Form, King Dedede is shown to have survived (despite the Beast Pack horde catching up to Kirby at the end of the battle of [[Leongar]]), having moved into [[Waddle Dee Town]], along with the three Waddle Dees that were saved at the end of [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]], next to the Colosseum. | ||
