Kracko

Kracko is a recurring boss who is a large cumulus cloud with one large eyeball and yellow spikes protruding from all sides. He first appears in Kirby's Dream Land. In each of his appearances, Kracko either releases electricity clockwise, dives across the screen, drops an enemy, or creates a hazardous rain shower.

Kracko typically first appears as Kracko Jr., who retains his large eye, although it is surrounded by four orbs. Kracko Jr. either spins its orbs rapidly or launches in different patterns. Kracko Jr. is either fought as a mini-boss earlier on or during the Kracko boss fight, right before transforming into Kracko himself. Mini-Kracko also starts off as a blob in a bigger cloud in Kirby's Dream Land 2, and fights mainly using Co-Krackos, who are small Krackos that Kirby can inhale.
