"The time has come for Popstar...no, the time has come for the entire UNIVERSE to bow down to me!" ― Magolor
Magolor was the main antagonist of the 2011 game Kirby's Return to Dreamland, before subsequently becoming an ally of Kirby as the series has progressed in games like Kirby's 20th Anniversary Dream Collection and more notably Kirby Star Allies. A master magus within the franchise, who really knows where Magolor's true allegiances lie...
Background []
Magolor is a native of the planet Halcandra, residing in a different dimension from Kirby's, Magolor sought to take the fabled Master Crown from the guardian dragon Landia and tried to fight it with his ship, the Lor Starcutter. He was defeated, however, and forced to flee to Popstar and make a crash landing. Hatching a plan, Magolor tricked Kirby into gathering the pieces of his Starcutter under the guise of taking them to see Halcandra afterwards, before manipulating them to defeat Landia so HE could take the Master Crown. Threatening the entire universe, Magolor was challenged by Kirby, King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, and Meta Knight, and subsequently defeated. Without the Crown's influence, he seems to be content with allying with Kirby against greater evil.

However, wearing it too long corrupts the user, and eventually destroys their consciousness, leaving only their shell behind for the crown to inhabit. As of Star Allies, however, the need for the crown is no more, given that Magolor is far stronger now than he was with it.
- Dream Rod: Allows Magolor to summon forth Dream Friends to assist him in combat.
