'''Escargoon''' is one of the | '''Escargoon''' is one of the principal characters and supporting villains of the anime series ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. He is an anthropomorphic snail-like creature who serves as [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]]'s primary assistant and is almost always at his side, despite Escargoon's misgivings toward him. Escargoon has a generally rotten personality, though he is more often sympathetic than Dedede is primarily due to the regular abuse he receives from the king. He often likes to bully his fellow [[Castle Dedede]] residents, though he just as often pleads to them for help when he has a serious problem. | ||
Escargoon's name is a play on the words "escargot" (French for "snail") and "goon," aptly describing his character. In the 4Kids English dub, Escargoon is voiced by Ted Lewis, who also voices King Dedede. In the Japanese version, he is voiced by Naoki Tatsuta, and often ends his sentences with "de gesu", a corruption of the polite copula "desu". | Escargoon's name is a play on the words "escargot" (French for "snail") and "goon," aptly describing his character.

Escargoon | Escargoon is a man of many faults. He can be generally described as a sadist, and particularly relishes in the suffering of [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] and his friends. He is also intensely selfish, dishonest, and paranoid, to the point where he hides stashes of jewels in the castle from Dedede's even more selfish eyes. He is also openly egotistical and disrespectful to others, and often speaks sarcastically to them, not even sparing insults for King Dedede. As outlined, a lot of Escargoon's negative personality traits stem directly from his treatment by Dedede, who regularly abuses him both physically and emotionally. | ||
However, Escargoon does have some positive attributes as well. Though not quite the genius he describes himself as, he is still intelligent, as he is able to invent and operate complex machinery, formulate effective plans, and make advanced mathematical calculations. Every now and then, he also drops the formality and treats Kirby and his friends with decency, though usually only when it serves his interests. Most notably, Escargoon cares deeply for [[Escargoon's mother|his mother]], and would do anything to please her, even if it incurs the wrath of King Dedede. | However, Escargoon does have some positive attributes as well.
