'''Gorimondo''', titled '''Strong-Armed Beast''', is a large [[boss]] who appears in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', being primarily fought in the [[Natural Plains]] stage, [[The Brawl at the Mall]]. He is a giant gorilla-like entity with black fur and skin, with red accent marks on his face and arms, and white fur stripes on his head, with the one on top formed into a mohawk and another smaller one formed into a tiny beard under his chin. Gorimondo is part of the executive council of the [[Beast Pack]], and is by far the largest member of the pack, being larger even than the leader [[Leongar]]. Gorimondo is the first boss that Kirby faces in the game, and he keeps a gold cage containing three trapped [[Waddle Dee]]s as a necklace. In other appearances however, he wears an anchor around his neck instead.

In addition to his appearance in The Brawl at the Mall, Gorimondo is also fought in the stage [[Gathering of the Beast Council]] in [[Redgar Forbidden Lands]] and is fought in the Meta Knight Cup and The Ultimate Cup in the [[Colosseum]]. A stronger variant of him exists in [[Extra Mode]] called [[Phantom Gorimondo]]. In the ending cutscene for this Extra Mode after [[Forgo Leon]] is defeated, the Beast Pack return wayward pieces of Leon's soul to him, including Gorimondo.

At the start of the battle, Kirby is grabbed by Gorimondo, and has to escape his clutches (this is done by the player mashing the left analog stick), otherwise he will then proceed to throw Kirby at the floor, damaging and flattening him. From there, the proper boss fight begins.

Gorimondo has 1000 [[health|HP]] ([[Star Bullet]]=80), and he enters Phase 2 when his HP is below 40%. He takes 0.2× [[damage]] when he roars, beats his chests and enters Phase 2.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_ecHOwIeQzMtK7fo7d0IXKWmcSrjbyOV/preview</ref>
Gorimondo has 1000 [[health|HP]] ([[Star Bullet]]=80) in [[The Brawl at the Mall]], 600 in [[Gathering of the Beast Council]], and 700 in the [[Colosseum]]. In Natural Plains and the Colosseum, he enters Phase 2 when his HP is below 40%. He takes 0.2× [[damage]] when he roars at the beginning of Phase 1 and during the transition to Phase 2.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/file/d/1UF0W1OgjFWUjTaUEs_jakGtbVUA_vVHt/view ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' damage and health spreadsheet (Japanese)]</ref>


The following are Gorimondo's attack patterns (attack names are conjectural). Attacks in ''italics'' are only used in Phase 2.
Unlike most bosses, Gorimondo's HP is not locked, so if sufficient damage is dealt, his second phase can be skipped entirely.
 
The following are Gorimondo's attack patterns (attack names are from the ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide'').
