He first appears as the secondary antagonist of ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', where he earns [[Kirby]]'s ire by stealing a chest which Kirby believes to contain his missing [[Strawberry Shortcake]]. After Kirby defeats [[Dark Nebula]], who was actually sealed in the chest, the misunderstanding is cleared up and the two make amends. Daroach would later appear as an ally in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'', where he helps the Kirbys by giving them hints to find the [[Medal]]s, and would appear again as a playable [[Dream Friend]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. | ||

*Daroach and the [[Squeaks]] were originally called ドロチュー (''Dorochū'') in early concepts, | *Daroach and the [[Squeaks]] were originally called ドロチュー (''Dorochū'') in early concepts, a simple portmanteau of the Japanese words ''dorobō'' (thief) and ''chū'' (a childish onomatopoeia for a mouse squeaking). While the designers thought this name was cute, design supervisor Atsushi Kakuta thought "Dorochū" was ''too'' cute; he was concerned that using such childish language would pigeonhole Kirby as a character for young children. After reading a design proposal that misspelled his name as ドローチュ (''Dorōchu''), he thought it sounded better and decided to change the name. Further tweaks eventually led to ドロッチェ (''Dorocche''), which is intended to have a "cool and Italian-like" sound.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20221026130626/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0611/1/page3.html Nintendo Magazine Online No.100 (November 2006) - Interview with ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' developers (Japanese)]</ref> | ||
